Brayden and the Cowboys

Brayden had an opportunity of a lifetime last night. He was able to play at Texas Stadium during the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings football game! Unfortunately, with our crazy sports schedule this fall, only one of us was able to attend. Any guesses of who? Yep...BJ. Brayden's teammates and parents started it off by having a big tailgate party and then they all headed into Texas Stadium. They had great seats as you can see from the pictures. We don't have too many pictures because when Brayden went to the lockeroom to get ready he took the bag with the camera and left it there for the rest of the game...but you can see how close they were to the action. One of the dad's was able to get some shots of their actual scrimmage during halftime so I will post those later when he passes them on to us. Brayden was extremely excited and had the time of his life.

Happy Day!

Today Brayden starts 4th grade and Baylee starts 3rd grade. No more "What can I do?"..."Can I have something to eat?"..."Can we go somewhere?"..."I'm bored!" With the exception of having to wake up early, it is truly a Happy Day!...Now the countdown to preschool begins!

Bryson's Birthday

I can't believe Bryson is already one! This year has really flown by. It seems not too long ago our families were here helping us adjust to being a family of six. Bryson has been such a blessing to us and is such a good baby! With having 3 kids in 5 different sports we do a lot of running to and fro. Luckily, Bryson likes to go, go, go. It won't be long before he is one of those kids I'm running to practice or to a game...oh the joy! Anyway, Bryson is now taking a few steps and trying to keep up with the older kids. He does a pretty good job of it too! Happy Birthday, Baby!

Ozzy's obsession with Tiger Woods...

From the video below, not only has his swing improved, so has his attire.

Ozzy (our three year old) has an obsession with Tiger Woods. He loves to watch him, talk about him, and now he even likes to dress like him. We took him to the Range to take a few shots of him in action. He had an audience while he hit range balls and while he did a few putts. They even applauded for him. He was in his element. We finished the night by dropping by 7-Eleven to drink some Tiger Gatorades.





If you look close, you can see the ball in the air...what great ball flight!

Ozzy at the Range

I came across this video that was taken about 10 months ago. He has been working on his swing and we will get an updated video of his progress posted soon. His favorite thing to do is go the Range...

Baylee leaves for Utah

Today is the day! Baylee woke up excited to start her 3 week trip away from mom and dad. A couple months ago we found out that Miley Cyrus was coming to the Stadium of Fire on July 4th. We thought it would be neat for her to go but we didn't plan on going to Utah until the end of July for a Hoaldridge family reunion, but BJ's mom was able to get tickets and we thought it was too good of an opportunity to miss so we booked Baylee's flight 3 weeks ahead of ours. She has been really excited and not nervous to fly alone until she woke up this morning. She was really quiet and I had to reassure her a few times everything would be fine. The airlines really take good care of unaccompanied minors so I feel really good about it. I'm sure she'll have lots of fun and I'm sure she'll be checking this blog so..."I miss you tons already, Baylee! Have fun and we'll see you on July 23rd! Love ya!"

Happy Birthday BJ!!!

Today is BJ's Birthday! He is 33 years old. I just wanted to give him a shout out on this special day. We started the day off with his favorite breakfast, Puffy Pancake. I've only made it twice this year with the other time being Fathers Day. I guess I need to make it more often, but those of you who know me...I hate to cook so I think he's lucky he got it that many times. We will be heading to the mall in a few minutes to get his present and then we will finish the day by having a yummy meal at III Forks with some good friends. Anyway, BJ, thanks for being my best friend and always being there for me. I hope you have a wonderful Birthday and may your next year be as rewarding as this year. I love you!!!
