Happy Fall Ya'All!

A couple of weeks ago we invited some of our friends and family to go to Neosho to my grandparents farm for a hay-ride and weiny roast. The weather was perfect! We could not have asked for more beautiful weather to enjoy a day out side.

As the kids and families began to arrive, the kids rode around the farm on their powerwheel toys. They all had room to ride around and not get in each others way. Some of them threw the football around, it was just of those days that it was just nice to be outside.

We had a pumpkin for each child and foam stickers and paint to decorate the pumpkins with. There were some "boo-tiful" pumpkins - I am sad that I did not get a picture of the the finished products.

This was my best attempt at a group picture (we all know how much kids like group pictures), and I still don't think I got everyone in the picture. They were loading up on the trailer for the hayride out to the bond fire for the weiney roast.

I am sad that this is the only pictures I got from the evening. My camera was doing funny things and I was not able to get pictures.

We had such a fun time and hope to make this an annual event. Grayson is still talking about his hayride and wants to know if he can have one next week!

Disney on Ice

Last weekend, Matt and I took the boys to Tulsa to see Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3. The boys loved it! Especially Grayson, he sat still the whole time and did not take his eyes off the show. With Toy Story being one of their favorite shows, they were able to follow along with the story line which made it even better.

I love taking my kids to see these shows. My Mom and Grandma Sue took Blake and I when we were younger so see Disney on Ice and those are memories that we will always have. It is fun to see my kids get enjoyment out of the same things that I enjoyed when I was a kid and to make the same memories with them.

The Army guys were both of the boys favorite part of the show - they came in parachutes and landed on the ice. It was pretty cool!

We had a fun time, despite me being sick. I think we will make it an annual family event!

Tour of the Bentonville Fire Department

A couple weeks ago, we went on a tour of the Bentonville Fire Department with some of our friends. The kids had such a fun time! They got to see where the fire fighters sleep, eat, watch tv, cook and of course, they got to see the trucks! The fire fighters were so kind and let the kids climb and sit on the trucks - they were so patient with them. They also demonstrated to them how quickly they have to get all their gear on when they are called out on a fire.

They Have No Idea.....

How good they have it!





As we have been spending every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning at the soccer fields, my friend Jo Ann and I have had to get a little creative in ways to entertain the little brothers. They want to run on the field with the big boys, because they are just as big as they are, you know :)

They have tried playing trains on Sawyer's "doe-doe" aka blanket

They tried watching the game in their cool Lightening McQueen chairs - and yes, it is better that their chairs match or that is just a whole other issue! And by the way, the watching the game option, didn't last too long ;)

And this one is my favorite - they have the DVD player proped up in the stroller with their chairs in front complete with their snacks and drinks.

Love these sweet boys but they are a mess - a good mess though!

Another Fun Week in the Life of the Daspit's

This week was a fun, yet low key week. We really didn't have too much going on other than football and soccer.

Thursday is football night at our house and we are pleased to annouce that we had another win this week! Cougars are 2-0! We are hoping for another win this week against Rogers.

Lance took my camera at the game and was our "photographer." There were a lot of "similar" pictures :).

Lance took this picture of Grayson - I thought it turned out sweet.

Friday night Allison came down to help me make a wreath for a baby shower gift. Who am I kidding - Allison made the wreath! It turned out soo cute - I will post pictures later since it is a baby shower gift, I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Grayson was Allison's big helper! The boys love to have Allison at the house!

Saturday morning was soccer for us. Lance had his first game this week. The Dynamos played so hard and gave it their all but they came up a little short, they lost by one goal. But they all had a great time! Lance was excited to have Nana and Papa there to cheer him on!

Grayson and Sawyer playing with their trains. They are so cute, unfortunately, this lasted for about 2 minutes!

Busy Week of Firsts

This week we had another busy week of firsts - Lance had his first soccer practice, Matt had his first football game and Grayson had his first day of Mothers Day Out.





Here is Grayson showing off his new back pack, complete with his name on the back. He was so proud of his back pack and was super excited about getting to go to "school!"

Tuesday night Lance had his first soccer practice and Matt had his first football game. Lance was so excited about soccer season going he decided that he would rather go to soccer practice instead of going to watch Daddy's football game. Grayson went with Nana and Grandpa to cheer on the Cougars - and they won their first game!

This year for soccer, Lance is on his buddy Carter Wayne's team, his Dad Rodney is the coach and we all are so excited to have such a fun coach and team mate! Matt is helping out with the team when he can - Lance is very

to have his Daddy be the "helper."

We are looking forward to a fun soccer

season! Go Dynamos!!

P.S. - Not sure what is up with the alignment of the text and pictures on this page.

Three Day Weekend!

We started the weekend off with no plans other than soccer practice and celebrating Matt's birthday on Saturday. But it ended up being such a fun weekend - just perfect!

Saturday we woke up and had a slow morning then headed off to soccer practice. Lance was excited that Matt was going to be there. Their team had a scrimmage and did really good. They won 6-2 - but we didn't keep score ;)

Honestly, I didn't get a chance to watch too much of the scrimmage,

Grayson was in rare form at the soccer field!

Grayson and Sawyer love to watch Thomas the Train on my phone - they are such good little buddy's!

After naps and some relaxation time, we headed to Fayetteville to celebrate Matt's birthday eating dinner at Shogun's. The boys had never been there and they loved it and had such a fun time watching the chef cook our food on the grill and trying to master using chop sticks. It was a fun evening!

They came out and sang Happy Birthday to Matt and brought him a "special" dessert. Here he is loving being sang to at the restaurant. Yes, they made him stand up while they sang to him and he LOVED it, ha ha!!

After we got home, we wrapped up the festivities with some birthday cake. Here is Matt with the boys - it is impossible to get everyone to look at the camara at the same time - errr!

Matt was itching to get to the river and do some fishing on the long weekend. Sunday he made and impromptu fishing trip - so the boys and I decided we did not want to spend the day at home doing nothing so, we loaded up and headed to Mimi and Papa's. Mimi and Papa have been missing the boys since they don't get to see them on Tuesday nights anymore since school started so they welcomed the visit.

The afternoon was perfect - the boys played in the dirt and got filthy and just loved it! Mom, Dad and I sat outside and worked on a Halloween wreath for her and we just enjoyed each others company. The boys did not fight or tattle 500 times - they just dug in the dirt and road their bikes - it was great!

Then Monday rolled around. We didn't have anything going and my friend Allison called and wanted to get together to make a Hogs football wreath and grill out. So, she headed down and off we went to the craft stores to get our supplies for our wreaths.

I must give Allison all the credit - she is just so creative and good at putting stuff like this together. While she was working on the wreaths, I made dinner. Good trade off, right :)

Here is the final project! I think it turned out super cute - perfect for Hogs football season! (I did position the football on the wreath - I have to get a little credit, LOL!)

It turned out to be a great weekend of unplanned events!

Hope everyone has a great week!
