AZ State Fair 2013

Chad's favorite ride!

 Green monster truck!

 First rollercoaster ride alone! Big boy!

 It took a lot of convincing to get Chad to ride the ponies this year.  He is certain "ponies" are for girls only! The only reason he rode this "horse" was because his name is twinkie, which is what daddy sometimes calls Chad.

 Silly faces!

Sea Life Aquarium

Grandma, Sarah, Leah and I hauled up the kiddos and went to Sea Life Aquarium at AZ mills mall while Leah was on fall break.  The cousins had a great time!

T-Ball

We signed Chad up to play T-Ball at Crossroads Park this fall where his cousins Jake and Cole play.  He has been having a lot of fun and so have mom and dad watching him!  He does great at batting but when it comes time for the field he can't stay still and we will find him talking to other players or throwing his hat or glove in the air and catching it.  We sure do love this boy!

Josh and Chris baby shower

We got to be a part of Josh and Christina's baby shower at the end of August and celebrate the soon to be arrival of baby girl King! We are SO excited for them and can't wait to meet her!



California trip for Alec

We took a trip with Grandma Bennett to David and Lindsay's at the end of August to meet our new cousin Alec and play with our other cousins! We had a great time snuggling that cute baby boy and Chad was in heaven with Logan, Ava and Lacy!

Our 4 year old goes to Pre-K!

Our big 4 year old started Pre-K on August 5th at Elona Early Childhood Development Center which is located at the new Cooley Middle School.  He was SO excited to go to a BIG school and buy a new backpack! He was sad to see mom and dad go but we are working on it and have improved already.  His teacher is Mrs. Legg and his favorite part of school so far is recess and snack!

First day

 We have to stop and fill our water bottle up each day!
