Prayers

Sydney's prayer tonight at dinner was, "Dear God, Thank you for this day, thank you for our house so we don't have to live outside. The end"
Dylan's prayer at bedtime went like this, "Dear God, Thank you for the whole world, thank you for everything....Thank you for my toys...I don't need them. I just need food and a house....so thank you for my toys."
I absolutely love listening to my kids pray.

Dylan's Birthday

Dylan is 6 years old....seems like just yesterday I was at the hospital holding my brand new baby. He is such a charming, funny, sweet little boy and I love every minute that I get to spend with him. I'm so glad that I'm his mom. We celebrated his birthday, every day leading up to his birthday...for 6 days.

We sang a song that Dylan actually taught us..."Three Cheers for Dylan, Three Cheers for you...It's your birthday in 6 days, Three Cheers for you." and he got a present every day for 6 days. He was very excited....then we had a small family party at home for him, with sports cupcakes. We went to Bandidos for his birthday lunch, had pancakes for his birthday dinner and went to build-a-bear with his birthday money.

Pulling Flags

Garrett is playing flag football this fall. He is on the Texans, and he is so excited. Today he pulled 3 flags, caught a ball and did a running play. He already knows more about football than I do and it is so much fun to watch him out there.

Soccer Star

Our kids are playing Soccer at the church again this fall. We have 4 out of 5 playing. Sydney, Dylan and Macy are all on the same team...and Garrett is on the older team. Dylan has been a scoring machine. After scoring 3 goals in his first game, he told me that he was the BEST SOCCER PLAYER EVER....he was so proud of himself, and we were proud of him to...so we let him gloat a little... Then we all went to Bob Evans for lunch. He was sure we were going because of him being such a great soccer star. We'll talk about good sportsmanship tomorrow... today I just love knowing that he is proud of himself. :)
