Ready-Set-Hike! Football Season is Here!

The last couple of months Tristan and Ashton have made quite a few friends in our circle.  I love watching them run around with all the neighbors playing games, from house to house.  The boys are all older than them, but no one seems to mind.  Sam across the street has been playing basketball and football with them.  It is so neat to have older boys willing to teach Tristan and Ashton a thing or two about sports.  As I was watching them the other day I saw how good they were getting.  They are both able to catch and throw really well.  So I told Das we needed to get them a football and stuff.  To my surprise, Das on his way home from the airport, picked some up.  The boys have been begging him to play all weekend.  He played with them a few hours on Saturday, and after church on Sunday(between games of course.)  And during the games they sat with him and he coached them on what was going on.  They start soccer this week and Das is going to help assist my brother coaching when he can.  I am so excited that they are getting excited about sports and they have such a great dad to teach them.
Ashton still needs a little practice....he closes his eyes.  But the boys aim seems to be pretty good. lol

28 weeks down.....12 more to go.

The last couple of weeks have been so busy.  Das was home for a week and we took off to St. George for Labor Day.  Unfortunately....I forgot the camera.  We had a great time though swimming at the pool and Sand Hollow and mainly just taking it easy.  Just what I needed.  Some time to sit and not think about all the things that are coming up.  I know Christmas is still 4 months away, but I have already started making lists.  With the baby coming in early December, Christmas is gonna be crazy. I need to go through baby clothes and the boys start soccer this week.  And to top that off, I have no clothes that fit.  But I did buy a few shirts today and my visiting teaching companion is lending me some of hers.  Our little boy is quite the active one.  Sometimes I can't even sleep at night he is moving so much.  We still haven't decided on a name yet, but middle name is going to be Ralph, after Das's dad.  I can't wait to meet this little man that is kicking me all the time.  3 months still seems like a long time, but I know its gonna fly.
