September

Since I haven't had a chance to blog till today, I decided to get the whole month in one post!


A few weeks ago we made a quick stop by the Galema's after we watched a high school soccer game for recruiting. Before we left, we had to get in a few games of Guitar Hero!

Jared loves Benny. Period. When I'm over at the house and Benny isn't there, Jared asks about him at least 300 times...so cute! Well, it was just adorable to watch him "play" guitar hero with Benny.


He was pretty serious about the game...


Meanwhile, Cassity was playing with Barbies!! Little girls are the greatest!





The Anderson Ravens are almost halfway through the soccer season already! I'm having a lot of fun watching the games and getting to sit with Wendy (the head coach's wife) and her kiddos.

The starting lineup, right before one of the games.



A little action shot...



This picture is great...all of the coaches watch the game with their arms crossed! To the left of Benny is Chad, the goalkeeper coach, and to the right of Benny is Scott, the head coach.



Madison (head coach's daughter)...the AU soccer cheerleader!


One weekend, when Benny was out of town for a couple of games, I got to spend Saturday with Wendy and the kids. We went to see "Fly Me To The Moon" on I-MAX.

Here was the best part of the movie!

I have two cousins who are like sisters to me. One of them, Cara, is getting married next month. A couple of weekends ago, I went to St. Louis for her wedding shower at a really cute tea room in "The Valley."

Andrea, with her 8 month-old son, Brayden. I love his cheeks!! (Andrea and I both had some chubby ones just like his when we were babies!)





Last week, one of my fun work friends from Ruston came to visit with her kiddos. She drove 14+ hours...just HER and the kids...through the night, to get here to Anderson. After resting a bit on Tuesday, we went to the Indianapolis Zoo on Wednesday, and they headed out on Thursday. It meant so much that they traveled so far to see us, and we had a great time!


Marie, ready for the zoo!



A little baby baboon.



Mitchell feeding the giraffe! This zoo was great...he got to touch/feed lots of animals!



Sheryl, me, Marie and Mitchell ready for the dolphin show. (We were sitting right up close...)


And here's why that's not such a good idea with a 5 month old! (Sheryl and Marie got soaked by the splashing dolphins!)


Mitchell and I petting the goats. They were probably the tamest goats I've ever seen!


Back at our apartment...Benny playing with Mitchell. He loves him some Benny, too! When they pulled in on Tuesday, before he even said hi to me, he said, "Where's Benny?" I try not to take it personally... :)


There you have it and there you go!
