Blast Off

Nate Dog from next door got a really cool rocket.  He was kind enough to ask if we wanted to watch him launch it.  Of course we were all over it.  We had a few failed attempts, but Larry finally got it figured out.  We did a drumroll with a count down and then BLAST OFF!  What is even cooler is they gave us a 2nd rocket to put together to launch ourselves.

Only difference this year is we have two big helpers this year.  :)

Our New Family Activity

We have a new favorite family activity this summer.  GOLF!  We have been hitting the course for 9 holes with the kids at least once a week.  The kids beg us to go when we get home from work and of course they don't really have to beg.  ;)  This is the most golf that Ben and I have been able to play in a long time and we have no complaints.

Warm up time...

A brief Daddy lesson.  Tick tock, tick tock...

Teeing up...

Then there's Miss Addie.  She likes to take a few swings...

And keep score...

She loves her pink ball...

And seems to do a good job of adding a little bit of adorable to the course...

Soccer Time!

I'm officially a soccer mom now!  Wes seems to really love it and he has shown a lot of improvement.  He has scored several goals and is always out there giving it his all.  After his first practice/scrimmage he asked us if his team won, because he wanted to get a trophy.  :)
