Soccer Fun! The boys are both playing soccer this year! They are in different age groups, whick means different teams, but they usually play about the same time. So, Ben and I are constanly walking back and forth from one field to the other so we can see both of them play! As crazy chaotic it seems for us, they seem to be having a great time!

Sl is in the red shirt. He is one of the youngest on his team, but it doesn't seem to bother him one bit! Their jerseys should be in soon and I will post some better photos then.
Havey is in the blue shirt. He has done well since he has only played one year. We missed the sign up date last year, so he did not play in '06. He has caught right on and is dribbling the ball well, as you can see in this photo.
The boys have had so much room to play outside and they have found so much to explore. They had so much fun las Sunday afternoon playing on the neighbors hay bales!
We met "Mrs. Emily" last Tuesday at City Bagel Cafe. Stephen Louis had been talking about Community Helpers at school and a local Doctor came to their school that day for a visit. I didn't tell him we were meeting Emily, but when I picked him up I asked him wouldn't it be cool if we saw a nurse at lunch-(Me and SL have made Tuesday our Out-To-Lunch-Together day). He quickly told me we would not see any nurses at Bagel Cafe, but he was so surprised when Emily came over and sat at his table. He was so glad to see her! We had fun visiting with you "Mrs. Emily"! See you soon!
SL's class went to Piggly Wiggly for a Field trip during Community Helper week at school.
The firetruck and firemen were there too! They would ask the kids questions about their equipment to see if they knew what it was for. Stephen Louis quickly told them all the answers-his Uncle Buddy is a fireman, so he knows all about it!

Ben had arm surgery about 2 weeks ago in Birmingham, so Nan and Pop helped keep the boys while we were at the hospital. The boys were so glad that Daddy had to recover for a day near the hospital because that meant more time at Roosttree (Nan and Pop's home). We will be doing this whole routine again in a month because Ben will have knee surgery at the same hospital! Get rested Nan and Pop they are ready to come again soon!

Pop gets the boys Georgia hats! Benjamin Harris is not too excited about cheering for any team except Auburn. SL will cheer for Georgia and Mississippi State, as long as they are not playing Auburn at the time! He also knows Nan and Pop are GA fans and they know the way to the cricket and candy store!! He is one smart, deal making, negotiating little boy!

Stephen Louis and Pop cook some of the fish that they all caught over the weekend.

The boys had lots of fun decorating and carving pumpkins with Pop and Nan!

We went to the Alabama Forestry Association meeting again this year. It occurs every year in September at the Perdido Beach Resort. We sure are glad Ben has to go for work. We stayed a few extra days so Ben could have some fun too!

I think Havey totally enjoyed himself this year! He had so much fun riding the waves!

Ben had fun playing with Havey's toys too!

Yes, even Mommy played! It's all fun until you fall on your rear-end! The boys quickly told me I wasn't doing it right! Oh well, at least I tried!

Stephen Louis loved climbing on the rocks and looking for treasures around them.

The Race is on with the brothers! They teamed-up and would not let anyone pass them! Too funny!

The alligator hunters...

Ben snaps a picture of me and our beach boys!

We built a sandcastle which was really used as a war zone for all of our tanks and army men that we had to take to the beach! Uncle Buddy, this castle was built with you in mind! We are praying for your safety!

So tired... Benjamin Harris didn't make it through dinner without falling asleep!

Cool cousins- best buddies- a few days at the beach...What more could a kid ask for!

Benjamin Harris gets his first Hole-in-one!

SL has figured out if you slide your ball into the hole with your club, you can at least get a Hole-in-two!I almost got a Hole-in-one! I'm not too great at this putt putt thing! It was fun anyway-even though the boys kept leaving me behind because it took me so long to get the ball into the hole!

Havey does a really good job as the photographer!

We want to be Your hands, we want to be Your feet!
