I finally got into my blog.  Every once in a while the blogging site makes me sign back in and I have troubles.  Troubles are over now!!!

Almost a month of activity in the house.  It was pretty much consumed with football.  The season ended this past week.  Benjamin finished undefeated and Jacob's team started out strong but I think had more losses than wins.  I am glad they learn about good sportmanship and losing at a young age.

A friend of ours came to some of the last games of the boys'.  He has a really, really nice lens and got some fun pictures!!

My number 32!!


I love this, especially since this kid won't often 'pose'


Great action shot


Love this.  He gave Ben a huge panoramic print taken from the side of the field.

My 36!

Amazing colors and view!



Look at those clouds and snow.


Love Benjamin's expression...second from left.

One of our favorites!

Benjamin has also spent time fundraising for his DC trip. He spent the last three Sunday afternoons selling concessions at soccer games.  The wagon was a huge hit...although it looks a little ragged because we had something like 25 mph winds most of the afternoon.

He also spent some time bagging groceries. He is getting pretty good at that. Maybe bagging once a month, he will end up with a grocery store job when he is a little older.

Benjamin started basketball today. Joseph is still doing hip hop and is trying to decide if he is too shy to sign up for their recital next spring. (He is so funny!) Joseph is also continuing with CrossFit kids. Jacob will take a CF break...he really needs an older class. He does not enjoy all the 7 year olds in the younger class. I am excited because this winter is moving their free Sunday class to 5pm (instead of 9am) and Benjamin is interested in going. I would love for him to learn some more discipline, especially since he is getting more into sports!

Not much else happening here. I continue to do my work from home stuff and JR is trying to get his winter work lined out.

I promise it won't be another 4 weeks before I check in again!
