Football and Bible Sunday

Mason had his first football game this week!  It's so fun to watch him now that he is in his second season!  You can tell the boys all know what is going on a lot more now!  This week he played quarterback and said it was his favorite!  He got one flag and was on his way to a touchdown, before he stepped out of bounds!  The team worked well together and looked great!

Planning their play

Set...

Get em!

HIKE!

Team meeting after the game
After the football game we went to the YMCA's block party.  There were booths, freebies, inflatables, and the police!  The boys enjoyed climbing into the police car and trying all of the buttons out!

Making tons of noise!

Look close...Mason in front and Zane in the back!

Today was Bible Sunday at church!  Kids in grades 3-5 can get a Bible!  Last year we were gone for Bible Sunday, so this year Zane got one!

High five to Pastor Mark after getting his Bible!

Praying for the kids!
It has been so crazy busy around here lately!  Between school, sports, scouts, and just keeping up with the house, it's hard to find time for much extra!  Saturday night we did get our fire pit out and sit outside hanging out together!  Hopefully we can have some more nights like this!  Loving this fall weather!

Baker Family Fun!

Last weekend the boys took a trip to the batting cages.  This has quickly become a favorite of theirs!  I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of Mason...oops...

Dad giving his words of wisdom

Bryce waiting *patiently*

Swing batter!
This weekend Matt's family came down.  Friday night we went to the Royals game.  Too bad they are in a little slump right now - it wasn't a super exciting game, but we had fun nonetheless!

Zane and I snuck down close to the field, trying to see the players.  Soon after this they shooed us out...
Mason hanging out with Nate and Marcy

The whole crew!  One of my parents from last year was 2 rows ahead of us and I asked her to take our picture!
Play ball!
In the bottom of the 9th we finally scored.  Zane put on his rally cap, but it didn't work...

The whole fam!

The traitors...wearing Cardinals gear...
On Saturday we took everyone to Oklahoma Joe's for lunch - yumo!

BBQ!
Then grandma took the kids to Build a Bear.  They each had fun building and dressing their furry creature!

Mason chose a minion

Zane got a bear

And Bryce got a Ninja turtle

Getting the hearts ready to put in their animals

I thought this was adorable how Bryce folded his hands while he was watching her!

Madison with Chewbacca

Zane made Eric "Paws"mer (his favorite player is named Eric Hosmer).

Of course Mason wouldn't be in a picture...but here's Derrick Thomas
We had such a great time!  It was nice to have everyone here and get to spend some time together!  Everyone was gone by early Sunday afternoon.  Sunday night a little before midnight my friend and co-worker called to tell me she was in labor.  I was the person who was going to come to her house to watch her 2 year old because their parents are both a couple of hours away.  So I was there in about 15 minutes and 2 1/2 hours later their beautiful daughter was born!  I just returned from cuddling her and she is adorable!
