Bath Time Cuties

I found a few random cute photos on my memory card today so just enjoy the next several posts and all their cuteness :)

4 Little Men

I really don't have many words to go along with these pictures.  Baileigh did a phenomenal job on the boys' pictures and I couldn't be more pleased!!! 

Spending "Fall" Day Outside

The weather was GORGEOUS this afternoon, so we had fun outside!












Hope you enjoyed your day!

Genesis 1:14 (NLT)Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years."

Run For The Shelter

If you remember this post you might be surprised by what I accomplished today.  I began running last fall while trying to lose all my baby weight.  A few of my were running and they were losing weight like crazy.  I started and didn't love it, but didn't hate it either.  The spring went well, running, losing weight, etc.  Then summer hit and things got crazy.  I had a hard time finding time to run and it was just too stinking hot!

So once school started back, I knew I needed to get with it.  The local youth and family shelter here has a run every fall and since I missed a couple of 5K races over the summer this was my chance to step up and go for it.  Not only did I do it, but I talked Becca into doing it with me.  I even got Cory, really SPC to sponsor us!

Becca and I got everything worked out with Cory where we could run in the evenings after soccer practice or her dance practices.  It was great!  She is a great encouragement to me and motivator!  I love running with her!

So today was the day.  We set out with a goal in mind, hers was a little faster than mine, but we did it! 

I asked Cory to sponsor us and he said he would, but then he bumped up a sponsorship level and we added two more to our team!

Becca, me, Tisha, and Brandy!

We were doing great at first.  I was a little annoyed that people kept passing us.  We were trying to start out slow.  Becca kept telling me not to worry about it, just keep going.  I track our pace on my phone and it would tell me every 5 minutes what our time was so I knew we were ok. 

We got close to the end and a few girls that looked around my age were having to stop and walk, so we just kept running by them.  No lie, that felt good!  We also knew we would pick up the pace, ALOT, once we saw the finish line.  So we started going faster then the next thing I knew, Becca said that there was someone right behind me and not to let her pass me...Go, Go, Go she said!  So I ran even faster, it honestly felt like a sprint for this old lady!  I can't believe I ran that fast at the end.

So we finished in 31:20 and we were thrilled with our time!

Now we think we should tackle a 10K...are we crazy?!?!

We've Got Something Cookin'

I am not sure what it is about our kitchen and the boys.  Remember this post.  Now Crosby has discovered how to climb in the kitchen.  He loves to pull out just about anything and climb in the cabinets.  Usually he is in the tupperware drawer, but today was pots and pans.

Hmm what did I find in here?!

Watch out Momma!

He is just so cute!

Kick Off for Soccer Season

Saturday morning, we began our 6 week soccer season.  This year begins a new trend for us.  We have TWO soccer players, two practices two times a week, two games each on Saturdays...CRAZY!  We did survive thsi week though, but had to eat lunch on the field.  This coming Saturday we have games that are back to back, and overlap a bit, so we will again be eating lunch on the field.  The kids did great, players and spectators, Coach did awesome, and Mom managed it all!

I got more pics of Carter because Cory was there to watch and help me with Cole and Crosby.  Caden's field is HUGE so my pics didn't turn out of his game.  This week, I plan on bringing my zoom lens to get better pics of him.

Carter had a blast in his first game.  He scored 6 goals by himself...so fun!  They don't keep score, but he tried to and was pretty sure he won his first game.  He scored 4 goals in his second game but said they didn't win.  Whatever the case may be, he had a great time and did a great job!

Ready to start...

 Cole had fun watching the first game, then he played with Crosby some.

 My soccer star taking a break.

 Crosby did REALLY good!

 Carter just scored a goal and was running back to center field.

 Cole and Crosby playing during the game.

 I love my two soccer studs!

 REID 31...

 Since Daddy was here, I got a picture with Carter...

 and Caden!

 One more of Carter in action.

 Here are a couple of Caden.  He is playing safety in this one...he did a great job keeping the ball out of his goal!  They lost this game 4-2, but he scored both our goals!

 Get that ball out of here!

 Chasing the ball down...

Caden won his second game 6-2 and he score 5 of those goals.  This week I promise to get more pics of his games!

Sand Dunes

We decided to celebrate the boys' actual birthdays with a short trip to Waynoka to Little Sahara.  Cory took the big boys Friday night and met up with Grammie, Papa, and Brooklyn.  They took a couple of rides that evening then camped out in the RV.  Gigi, Pops, the little boys, and I headed up Saturday morning.  We got a few rides, ate some lunch, had birthday cake, opened presents and squeezed in one more ride before we were too hot to do anything else!  It was a fun time spent with the family!

When we arrived Saturday morning, Crosby was SO excited to see Daddy!  He is a Daddy's boy for sure!  

 Papa has a 4seater so Momma and Cole took ride in the back seat!

 Gigi even took a ride...

 Papa and Brooklyn

 Crosby loved playing inside the camper and did really well all day!  I forgot his booster seat so he ate lunch on the tile :)

 I think the big boys were tired.  While others were riding, they decided to take a break and watch a movie!

 My mom got each boy a cake...they turned otu great!

 Chaos ready to unfold!

 Are you excited?!?!?!

 Caden sure is...

Momma and Daddy are so goofy :)

Thanks to Grammie and Papa for bringing the big toys!  It was so fun spending the day together!  We must do it again...soon!

Ready for AWANA

We started AWANA this past week and my boys were ready! Cole is a Puggle, Carter is a Cubbie, and Caden is in Sparks! We are ready to hide God's word in our hearts...

Deuteronomy 11:18-19 "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. "

Goofballs!
