The Chaos Room...

What an AWESOME way to spend our Saturday afternnon...Both Ben and Brady won their soccer games this morning and to add to the FUN they each scored a goal too!!!  After we enjoyed our morning full of soccer, Drew Gaydosh joined us at The Chaos Room with The Bishop family.  As I'm sure it goes without saying...the kids had a BLAST!!!

 Brian, Richard, Drew, Brady, Nick, Ali and Ben:-)

Little Miss Madison...

What a FUN weekend...Joe, Randi and Madison Miles came in town this weekend to visit and as always we had a great time with them!!!  Madison is getting so big and so cute...both Benjamin and Brady love playing with her.  But, I love watching Ben because he is especially gentle and careful with Madison and it is so stinkin' adorable to watch!!!  We love hanging out with The Miles family...we just wish they lived closer to us so we could enjoy them and little Madison all the time:-)

Happy Birthday Grandma Aiken!!!

Today was a great day because we all got to celebrate the one person that does everything for all of us every other day of the year!!!  Mom, you are such a fabulously beautiful person on the inside and on the outside...it is difficult to put into words just how much you mean to all of us and to simply say "THANK YOU" does not even start to express the gratitude that we all have for you.  Without YOU our lives would be far less enjoyable and meaningful...Always remember how much your husband, daughters and grandsons love and admire you in so many ways...YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Mommy And Daddy Are Very Proud Of You Ben And Brady!!!

 

Well...it's back-to-school time and back to absolutely CRAZY mornings again!!!  I can't believe that Benjamin is already starting 1st grade.  He is in for a BIG surprise today when he realizes that his school days are now twice as long as they always have been in the past:-)  My little baby Brady is also off to PRIMARY VILLAGE SOUTH this year too.  Brady is in the "Early-5's Kindergarten" class since he is still only 4-years old for another month. Brady is such a lucky little man because he has his awesome BIG-BROTHER to show him around on his very 1st day at PVS:-)  And I Have to admit that I also feel a little better about putting my little Brady-Boy onto the the BIG YELLOW school bus knowing that his classroom just happens to be right next door to Ben's new classroom this year, Room #19 & Room #20 in the GREEN neighborhood:-)  CHEERS to a HAPPY and  HEALTHY 2012-2013 school year!!!

Brady's Open House:-)

Today was a very special day for Brady...He had his very 1st Open House at his brand new school to meet his "Early 5's Kindergarten" teacher for the 1st time!  He is now officially a student at Primary Village South with his BIG brother Benjamin!!!  He is so lucky to have the same teacher that his cousin Jacob had when he was in the Early 5's program at PVS too...Mrs. Hastings:-)  Good Luck This Year Buddy...Daddy and I Are So Very Proud Of You!!!

Benjamin and Brady created their very own Zoo today... It was so cute to listen to their explanations of the animals and their habitats as they took turns being the "Zoo-Keeper" and taking Brian and I on tours of their Zoo:-)  Their is nothing better than the excited tiny little faces of my boys as their imaginations are hard at work!!!  Great job Ben & Brady...The B&B Zoo was by far the BEST Zoo I have ever been too!!!

Brady's Fall Soccer Team...

Brady started his new fall soccer season today.  He had his 1st practice with his new team and he had a blast as he always does!  Brady could play any sport involving any kind of ball 24-hours a day if we would let him!!!  Obsessed is definitely an understatement...Brian and I though Ben was a sports fanatic...and then we had Brady:-)  While Brady enjoyed practicing with his new team tonight; Jake, Luke and Ben had a great time together playing on the playground at the park...So, all-in-all everyone had a fantastic night!!!

 Go Brady!!!

 

Cousins And Best Friends...



Jacob Is 8 Years Old!!!

Great Grandma came over to spend the day with us today and we had a great day playing with her:-)  The boys were very excited to "teach" her how to shoot their new toy Bow and Arrows that they got from the 4th of July festival...only B and B can get Great Grandma to "shoot" at anything!!!  We wrapped-up our special day with a wonderful Saturday evening church service with our very favorite Minister, Charlie, at Southbrook:-)  Thanks for spending the day with us Great Grandma...WE LOVE YOU!!! 

Southbrook Summer Festival!!!

 

Ben And Brady:-)

 

We always enjoy going to the Southbrook Church Saturday evening services.  Although every week is special at Southbrook, today was extra special for the kids because they had their Summer Festival during their "Sunday School Class'.  So, while we enjoyed the service inside Ben and Brady had a blast outside playing games and jumping in the bounce houses together!!!  It is absolutely amazing how well the Minister, Charlie, speaks to our congregation.  Week after week I listen to his messages and for the first time in my life I understand and believe in what he is teaching us:-)  It is such a great feeling to actually look forward to going to church and enjoying the special time at Southbrook with my family:-)  Thank you Charlie for reviving my joy and belief in church...

SUMMER 2012!!!

 

As usual we had a fabulous day together at Kings Island today!!!  It is so incredible to watch Ben and Brady's total excitement as they run around the park, from ride to ride!  B & B talked daddy into playing the basketball game to win them the GIANT pillow-pet...and HE WON!!!  After Brian had to essentially sign his life-away; his name, his social security #, his license #, his address, his phone # and a contract stating that he will not under any circumstances play the basketball game again for a minimum of 2-years time..he was FINALLY awarded a 6-feet by 6-feet GIANT GIRAFFE pillow-pet!!!  The only thing better than being 1-of the very few lucky KI giant stuffed animal winners...is the privilege of carrying our giant new friend all the way to the car...HaHa!!!  Thanks for being our champion daddy!!!  WE LOVE YOU:-)

IT'S WEDDING DAY!!!  What a special day we all had today together as a family:-)  The ceremony went off without a hitch.  I was so incredibly proud of Ben and Brady, they did their "ring-bearing" perfectly!!!  After the ceremony downtown, we celebrated Uncle Scott and Aunt Candice's marriage with a reception at Sycamore Country Club in Springboro.  All of the months of hard work and planning paid-off because everything was beautiful and the dance-floor was hoppin' all night long.  My boys and I danced our hearts-out for 3-hours strait and the 4-of us had the BEST time together:-)  Tonight I was once again pleasantly reminded of how lucky I am to have Brian, Ben and Brady in my life...I couldn't love anyone more than I love my "Three-Bs":-)  Congratulations Uncle Scott and Aunt Candice, we are so happy for you both!!!  We hope that you two will also enjoy many years of health and happiness together in the future...
