Football!!!!!

Slade has started pee wee football this past two weeks. I have never seen him this motivated. The other night he told me he needed to study his plays. He is playing right guard, and from what I can tell, he is to the right of the center. He tries so hard during practice. It is so cute. The other day I took him to practice and we pulled up at 6:28, practice starts at 6:30, and he was so concerned he was not going to make it to the field on time. 

He hustled across the field to his team. He also has been trying very hard at practice. He runs hard, hits hard! It is so exciting to watch. 

He also has a big bruise on his arm. I just love him to death.

27 weeks

This week has been crazy busy. I had to work every day, Billy started two a days, and Slade started football. I feel like my stomach is gotten huge. It's getting really hard to sleep comfortably and I wake up couple of times each night. Brant is so cute with my belly, he will talk to the baby and it night he prays for the baby and says how much he loves the baby.
Slade did great at football this week. They wore helmets and they had to do tons of drills. He told me that they had to do so many downs and then run across the field at least 10 times. He is loving it though. I got five run-ins, even though they were not very long ones. I still held up to almost 21 miles. The boys went with me today and we did 2 miles. Brant road the go cart and Slade rode his bike.

Our walk around the neighborhood.

The boys love to play with the kids around our neighborhood.  They ask and ask us if they can invite kids over to play.  Slade's friend Caleb lives down the street and the boys are inseparable.  Sometimes to get a little exercise in the boys, I will ask if they want to go and walk around the block.  They love to ride their scooter and throw the tennis ball.  They switch places when we get to Caleb's house. I love them so much!  It helps me get another almost mile in.

23 weeks-State tournament

It was a fun, exciting week! The boys and I took a little vacation to our friend's ranch out side of Austin.  The boys love to go there.  We swim, fish, play in the creek, stay up late, and have smores.  This year, they put in a lake are bringing in tons of sand for a beach area. They also had a drone that the boys got to see fly all around the ranch. We love it because it is so lasted back. We stayed there Sunday-Wednesday. Then we headed to San Antonio for Brant's Tball tournament. 

Brant's Tball team made it to the state tournament. The tournament is in a little town outside of San Antonio called Shertz.  Billy was in Portugal on his yearly mission trip and he was not able to come. We missed him so much. We ended up getting 3rd place, but we played so hard. Brant had good hits and played catcher and outfield. Because we made 3rd place we qualified for the World Series in Louisiana!!! Brant would fall asleep every time we would load up and head to his game. It was only about a 20 min drive, but he would go fast to sleep. 

We had fun in San Antonio. We stayed close to the River Walk and the Alamo.  When we went to San Antonio last year, the boys wanted to do the mirror maze, but we did not have anytime, but we did this time. It was so much fun. They even had a laser obstacle course at the end. The boys loved it.
