Weekend Recap

This most certainly was a busy weekend, but it seems like all the recent ones have been lately.
Friday evening was the Fall Festival where I teach and the boys and I were there from opening til closing time.
Saturday morning began with Reed's t-ball game at 11 a.m. where he received the game ball.
Reed plays 3rd base and has been doing pretty well at it. One of the batters hit the ball right to him, he bent down to catch it and it popped out of his glove and hit the underside of his arm right above the elbow. The coaches immediately hovered over him and brought him into the dug out. He sat there with the coaches wife and I watched from the bleachers. How I longed to run to him but knew that would freak him out even more. I did finally walk over and asked him if he was OK once he settled down and got some ice.
He certainly was a brave little man. :)

Here he is admiring the game ball the coaches gave to him.

So proud to show off for a picture. :)

He shared with everyone that he got the game ball because he got hit with the ball and it didn't even hurt. ;0)

Once we left Reed's game we raced over to Tyler's soccer game that started at noon. We arrived just in time to see the last minute or two of the 2nd half. Eric left soon after the game ended because he had softball practice and Reed and I stayed and watched Tyler's scrimmage. When we left the soccer fields we drove past where Eric was practicing. The boys are really excited about Daddy playing softball.

We rested the rest of the day and had take out dinner from Applebee's. Yum-O!

Today we got the boy's Halloween costumes and went to the grocery store, it was a pretty laid back Sunday, thank goodness!

My back has been in pain for about a week now I may go to the dr. and have it checked this week.

Fun Weekend part 2

We celebrated our oldest son's 9th birthday.
Where have the past 9 years gone?
Time sure does pass by quickly...and to think in 9 more years he will be an adult. YIKES!!! Need to erase that thought!

First time purchasing a cake from Target bakery. The icing was super sweet...just the way I like it.
We had a small gathering of family and friends.
Made a promise that when he turns double digits next year we will have a bigger celebration.
Surronded by all the children during gift opening. :)

I love this and will treasure it forever, they really do love each other!

improvising


This is how you read when your brother is sleeping and you share a room with him. {He loves any chance he gets to use my book light, both of my boys think it is the coolest thing.}

My children...


They simply are beautiful creatures from God!

The big one has been so concerned about me.
I love his compassion and his love for others.
He always wants to do what is right and please!
He knows what I like and what I don't.
He knows that even when I am angry and yell at him, it is all because I love him and want him to be the best.

The little one wants to be big and do what his big brother does.
He loves his big brother so much and looks up to him.
He is sweet and my little love bug.
He will cuddle with you and knows when you need a big giant hug.
He is a little wild and crazy.

They are my world and I couldn't imagine life without these 2 boys!

busy, busy, busy

Wow! It has been over a month since I last blogged.
I feel like my life is spiraling out of control and I have very little time for the computer any more.
We have been watching a lot of this.

Not only is Tyler playing soccer his racing season is coming to an end, school started back about a month ago, and Reed is playing t-ball.
(pics of that to hopefully come soon)
Today school is closed due to the Jewish Holiday.
We are going to have lunch with dad today at his work since we never got a chance to do that during the summer.
Have a great day everyone!
