Water Fun with Cousins!

Carter, Leyla, and Mirai came over to play in the water on Friday!

They had so much fun in our little pool. Leyla said, "Aunt Krista's pool is fun, 

even if it is filled with a bunch of boys!" SO cute!

Jayden absolutely LOVES having people over! 

He wakes up in the morning and asks, 

"Can some of my friends come over and play at my house today?"

Samuel came over, too!

Baby Cody enjoyed being outside!

Brady isn't too excited over the water, 

but he loves climbing up the ladder to the slide!

So sweet!

This is as close as Brady will get to the pool. AND...if he gets splashed...

he is out of there as quickly as his little legs will take him!

Carter drying off...so tired!

Brady enjoys the mower and the water table. 

(Poor baby, we tried another sunscreen, still breaking out!)

Have a great week!

Soccer Games!

Here are some more pictures from soccer!

Time to stretch...

Brady on lockdown! When I go alone, 

Brady has to hang out in the stroller, but he does so good!

More stretching

Jayden has a "hit and miss" personality for soccer. Some days, he isn't too interested and just wants to rest and have water breaks (like last week). But...this week he did AWESOME! He played his best game yet! I was so proud of him. Reed and Everest played great too! Here is my little star running as fast as he can!

He would kick the ball and turn around and yell, "I kicked it Mommy!" 

and give me a thumbs up! He was so proud of himself.

Lindsey and I got to sit and relax in the shade this game because the boys were actually playing. It was so nice! We were cheering our boys on like crazy!

So excited he kicked the ball!

Having a heart to heart

Always time for a hug, right?

Good job, Reed!

This is what happens when we let Paigey and Brady out of their strollers...

they take off to the park! (and their goes our relaxation!)  :)

Trying to get a picture of Reed, Everest, and Jayden...

they were hot, tired, and hungry!!

 

Only three more soccer games and flag football is next...

I think we'll pass on that one. :)

Fun times with Nathan!

We love having playdates with friends! Last week we went to Nathan's house to play and decorate aprons. Nathan has a donut maker, so September bought the boys aprons to decorate so they can be "Bakers!" 

(and wear at Lowe's while we wait for their's to come in!)

First, they needed to play some music...

Then, it was time to decorate the aprons!

We glued cute little turtle patches on...

Jayden and Nate love doing crafts!

We wrote their names on the apron, then they decided what else they 

wanted to paint...

Jayden wanted to draw his friend Nathan and himself. He also wanted to paint both their houses. Nate chose to build a sun, so Jayden wanted to build that too! :)

The little ones were so good! Brady had a snack...

All done! The big boy is Jayden and the smaller one is Nate. 

(according to Jayden) The red things are houses!

Nate's sun!

The boys colored masks, too!

Brady loves the twins!

All the excitement wore Bradley out!

Brady kept "talking" to Blake

Such a happy boy!

Bradley woke up before we left...they are such cute little guys!

Thanks for a fun playdate September!!

Jayden absolutely had a blast!

Park Fun!

 My boys love to be outside! We play in our backyard all the time, but sometimes it's fun to get out and try out all the different parks around Beaumont. I LOVE this picture!

This is a gated park, and it's smaller, so Brady can really run off some energy, too, without me having to chase him all over the place! :)

Jayden loves driving the school bus!

Brady on the go...

Riding on the cow!

Brady wanted to drive the school bus, too.

Such a big boy!

When Brady finds something he likes, he sticks with it for a while.

He loves to climb!

Jayden wanted brother to "race" with him down the slide.

He didn't realize that there was a step on the other side, closer to the ground. 

He kept climbing up this big one.

On Wednesday, we went to a Duck Pond with my Little Lambs group. Well...as you can see, it's not much of a "pond." It's more like a swamp. We still had fun, fed the bread to the ducks, and enjoyed a picnic lunch.
