Soccer Season!!!!

It was hard finding a sport that Grant would be interested in playing but we did it. He played twice for the YMCA in Missouri and is now playing for Hugh Bish under the Lawton Soccer Club. Practices started last week and he had his first game last Saturday. They played the toughest team and the league and held their own! We were very proud of his team because they only had 6 players so they had to play the entire game while the other team of 12 had subs. Go Grant! Dad's been outside working with Grant on straightening is foot. It worked because he was doing awesome at his game today!

He's been working hard at practice and it paid off today as they had their first win. More importantly the entire team has improved greatly. We welcomed two new members so we actually were able to give the kiddos a break out in the brutal heat. Silly momma forgot the camera two games in a row. I caught some pics on my iPhone so I'll get those on here soon.

Caution: Children's brains are hard at work!

After the trip to the zoo we stopped off at the science center. It was full of activities for kiddos of all ages. Here's Ryan learning about those teeth that have been coming in!

Say cheese! Ryan was so hot from the zoo that he just looked out of it for the rest of the day. It made for a nice quiet ride home.

Grant enjoyed playing with the exhibits and viewing the planetarium. We learned about planes, trains, and automobiles....outer space and even attended a theatrical show on chemistry. That was the best part for Grant because they blew things up:)

Watch out Paul Blart, we have a mall cop in the making:)

Lions, and Tigers, and Rhinos??? Oh my!

With all of us having lovely allergy issues from being back in the Midwest we developed cabin fever. Labor Day weekend swooped in to save the day and we headed to OKC for some fun. First stop was the OKC Zoo! We saw all kinds of animals like Rhinos, Gorillas, Giraffes, and even some snakes(okay so Grant and daddy looked at some snakes while Ryan and I checked out flamingos, owls, and swans)

The Children's Zoo was Grant's favorite by far. They had several rides, sprinklers, and an adorable petting zoo.

The day didn't end here so stay tuned for the next post:)

Order Up!!

We found this cute onesie when we were out the other day and I couldn't help myself. It's a 3-6 month and Ryan is in 6-9 months or even 12 month clothes so we are very lucky that it even fits. Out little tot has grown into a Fry:)

Will the real Ryan Garrett please stand up!

Daddy has been working hard to get Ryan to stand on his own. Lately he has been doing it on his own for about a second, but today when JR balanced him and let go we easily counted a good 5 seconds. Now that's progress.....It is so cute and I know our little guy will be walking soon!

Brody's Baby Shower

We gave my oldest sister Michelle a baby shower in August to help her prepare for baby Brody! My mom always makes us baby blankets and here are some of them. Above is the MU attire and below is a fun monkey blanket.

Below is the baby quilt that will match his room that my mom made. Beautiful:)

Martha Stewart is her nickname for a reason. Here are the cupcakes and cookies that mom also made. They tasted great and the cookies were sooo cute!

We cannot wait for Brody to get here. Michelle goes in for a c-section on September 29th I believe, but from what I here back home she has dropped and may not hold him in there til then. His due date is October 9th but there is no way she would carry it that long. She's about to POP. So exciting!

They are growing fast

Grant just being Grant. He got all dressed up for no reason in his suit and was being his goofy self by acting like he had a lot of cash. He was throwing his 2 dollar bills all over the room. Had about 12 dollars total so he said he was rich..........I guess rents on him this month:) He is his father's son......goofballs

Ryan started crawling back in June and has really worked hard on pulling himself up on all the furniture. The only problem is he hasn't learned how to fall yet. He falls backwards with full force and cracks his head on the hardwood floor. Ouch! We thought it would be funny to put Grant's Karate head gear on him to see if it would help out. While it did cushion the fall......Ryan HATED it. Cute pics out of it though.
