Monkeying around...

Wow, I have managed to get on here twice this month...

I thought I would try to upload some photos that I took recently. There are a lot, but it has been a while since I have been able to add pics. Not to mention, who knows when I will get on here again. We'll see if I even last long enough to get all of them on tonight. It is already 11:30 p.m. and I have to be up very early in the morning to get Braji to her volunteer job. Yikes!!!

These are pictures from Zach's last football game. They won 36 to 26 and it was a great game. The best all season I think and a lot of fun to watch. Way to go Zach #75!!!

This particular play he made a fabulous tackle. That is him there in the middle, just before he threw #33 to the ground. Excellent tackle!
Next is Braji's new haircut. I didn't want her to cut her hair because I thought she wouldn't like it, but turns out I was wrong. Boy is she cute, and looks waaayyy too old to only be 12. I am glad she likes it though since it was such a drastic change. Love you Braji, you are beautiful!!!

These are pics I just took yesterday of Jud and Braji riding together and working with the horses. Jud doesn't get on very often, but really looks great when he does. I have wrangled me a cowboy...who knew!

Here are pics of the Paxton and Miranda's last gymnastics meet. They did so good. I don't know how many more pictures I will get of Miranda in a leo after this season though, because I believe she is going to move on to another sport. Paxton, however seems to be set to stick it out...so we will see. Kids change their minds quite often and sometimes mine are no different. Hmmm...

These are some odds and ends from the recent past (last month or so). Face painting, hay in my truck, and a basket of veggies from our garden. The hay pictures were so funny to take. I didn't think they would ever get that 1500 lb. roll of grass hay out of my truck, but ingenuity won in the end and it is now in our hay barn! Good job guys!

This is Braji at a country fair type event hosted by the place where she works. It was so much fun. There was scarecrow building, pumpkin decorating, face painting, chili to eat, pony rides, hay rides, a blue grass band and horse decorating contest. Braji took 2nd place in the contest and won $50. She did such a great job. The horse is actually painted! I just couldn't believe that he stood still for all that, but I guess he felt it was his patriotic duty! Hehehe...yes, I know that was corny, but I couldn't resist!

I didn't realize I got a picture of the back of Paxton and Miranda's heads while they were looking at the horse before the contest. Braji and I braid pretty good I guess, because their meet was earlier that morning and their braids still look really good. Guess that comes from doing little girls hair for so long! I will secretly miss it when they are grown, for sure! Which reminds me we have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks. My baby will be 8! Is that possible? Oh, never mind don't answer that. Sigh.

Well I hope that you enjoyed the small peek into our lives recently. These are some of my excuses for not posting as often as I used to. Priorities, priorities, priorities! Happy Fall to you all!
