Ben’s parents have been in town for the week so we have been on the go…

Ben went to Strawberry Reservoir for some fishing with his Dad, Grandpa Becker and his brother Matt.

 

We played our last softball game of the season on Friday night. Go Sausage Racers!

 

On Saturday we went to “This is the Place, Heritage Park” in Salt Lake City. They had lots of history mixed in with some trick or treating, animals, crafts and rides. We were all anti craft but I did let Benji do one and it ended up being his favorite part! This is our hay ride and the kids liked the train ride too.

 

Benji and Packer both loved the Pony Ride. These little ponies were cruising. I’m surprised Packer didn’t fall off!

 

Here is Ben with his parents in front of the monument. They live in Indiana so its great when they come to visit and spend time with us and the kids. We still have 4 more days to spend with them so I’m sure we’ll make some more fun before they have to go home.

the boys all got haircuts…

 

This was Packers first Haircut! He had some cute curls but they were only cute for the first 20 minutes after you combed his hair and then he had some major bedhead and fro going on back there. Benji also needed a cut – we are still trying to figure out if long or short is best for the double calic boy.

 

This week has been Park week. It is wednesday and we have been to 3 different parks! It’s been great weather and mom and the boys are loving it. On Monday we went to a park near Bens work and had a picnic with Dad. I even brought the dog which is a big step for me. Brewer is inches away from being able to catch a frisbee – that will be fun once we get him playing frisbee with me.

  

Packer really wanted to get up on this bench… what a big boy! He really is getting TOO big – the haircut, moved up a size in shoes and clothes, and now that he is trying to communicate he is quickly turning into a little boy instead of our baby!

   

On Tuesday we went to the park with the Hancocks. Erica let her kids put their feet in the water so mine had to too! It was a really fun park. Benj loves playing with Pace Pace and Cam Cam… even when we have to have timeout because we really want that stick that Pacen has!

  

On October 1st we went out and picked pumpkins out of our garden and put up all of our Halloween decor. The boys love helping Dad in the garden and they loved that there are candy bowls around the house! 🙂

Benji always does funnny faces in his pictures. I guess he’s just that age.

Packer is our no clothes boy. He is always filthy and always needing changed. The older brother wouldn’t be caught dead without shirt and pants. He rarely goes without socks!

Enough Loot for one night. Good work boys.

Our porch’o’pumpkins. Do our boys need haircuts??

Tonight was the first round of the CO-ed Rec League Softball Tournament. We’ve had a “Nettesheim Family” team for about 5 years now and love Friday nights August through October.

I got to play in the game tonight. We were tight on girls so – – 7 months pregnant, Here I am. Erica also played! She got a standup triple her first hit back from pregnancy!!! Go Pace!

Ben has been molded into our 3rd baseman and knocked down tons of stuff tonight. Check out this picture – you can see the stitching of the ball embedded in his wrist after a zinger tonight! We are still trying to teach him to use his glove hand over his bare hand 😉

Go Team!
