We swap baby sitting on Friday night with Ben’s siblings – Â on our night with the kids I had them all entertained with ZOMBIES!~ Â (I admit that I like the game as much or more than the kids)
Plants vs Zombies with cousins
If you are up for a video – here is a glimpse of the chaos!…

We are back in the thick of soccer season. Ben is coaching Benji’s team again! They have a lot of the same kids from last year and are having a lot of fun. Benji still hasn’t learned to go to the ball – his first step is always backwards. BUT he loves being out there and loves being on the team. He loves that they have a new color jersey this season and he lives for the snacks. We had a half time talk about going to the ball as fast as you can even if other guys are going for it to. He made a conscious effort and did get 3 or 4 touches after that.
BENJI - GO RED DRAGONS!
Benji is #5 this season.
Ben just started up our indoor family team as well. I am obviously on the bench this season but I love going to the games and watching and just enjoying soccer.
We had Joy School at our house the last 2 weeks – Here are Packer and his friends taking their rest time on the stairs. They thought they were so big.
JOY SCHOOL FUN
Cali loved being a part of school and threw a huge fit this morning when she didn’t get to go with Packer to school.
We had never been to the Lehi splash pad so we went and ate lunch there and the kids loved it… we aren’t ready to put our swim suits away yet!

The Hancock’s came to visit a couple weekends ago. Erica and I were in Heaven Saturday morning playing BIG Boggle and then again on Sunday we managed to get another big game going!
The kids just loved playing together. They picked up right where they left off – hopefully that’s how it will always be. They are all such good friends.

It has been fun having the same due date as Erica but I think it would be safe to say that we are both ready for these babies to be born. ( and yes Erica I am hiding behind you in this last pic – sorry 🙂 )
Thanks for coming Hancocks!
I was playing basketball and soccer twice a week until half way through this pregnancy and then I just quit everything. The other day ( two months ago) I was literally out of breath after going up my little stair case in my house – NOT ACCEPTABLE. So I’ve started walking….
the first day I took Packer and Cali in the stroller and walked 2 miles – I wore my flip flops and came home feeling like the bottoms of my feet were bruised. So next walk I put my nice new running shoes on that I used to wear daily until summer hit and by the end of that walk my toe nails were killing and I almost had a heal blister! OUCH. My Chaco flip flops have been deemed my best walking shoes for now – especially now that I can’t reach my toes to tie my shoes! Anyway – making an effort to have  a healthier pregnancy has been good for me. I haven’t had high blood pressure at all this time and I just feel better.
Cali loves our walks! She used to hate the stroller so this is a great break through. She now goes out in the garage and sits in the stroller and ‘asks’ to go, actually she throws a huge fit until we go… so if you see her and I walking down to the corner and back you know that she was ready for a walk and not me. Another good sign for Cali is that she has started pointing out babies – every time she sees a baby she points to it and says baby and is very interested – I’m seeing this as a good sign since little sister will be here soon. She can also do grocery stores again! For the last several months I have avoided shopping when at all possible because you are guaranteed a huge fit if she is with you. everything from Not staying in the cart to having to eat whatever she sees – NOT FUN – so – she is better now 🙂 I can return to shopping and not rely on Ben so much 🙂 until this new little baby comes in a week and then I’ll rely on him more – sorry Honey!
Cali loves dress ups and babies now!
