Harlem Globetrotters

Last Saturday we surprised the boys and took them to see the Harlem Globetrotters. They had a blast and it was a great and entertaining show. Spencer's favorite part was when "Globie" the mascot was on the court and Braden enjoyed watching the player's joke with the ref and the other team.

Braden and I fought our way through the crowd to get a couple of signatures

Family Pic's

Things have been busy around here with moving and unpacking and traveling for the holidays plus getting ready for baby #3... 8 weeks to go!!! (That still sounds like a long time!) I realized I haven't posted anything since halloween and it's time to get caught up. So for a start here are some of my favorite pictures my friend Mandi took of our family back in November. I think she did a great job! Thanks Mandi!

Halloween

This year Braden was Spiderman and Spencer was a dragon. They had so much fun trick or treating. A couple of the houses they visited gave them very large candy bars!



Braden's preschool class had a little halloween party and decorated spider cupcakes

We also visited the Flower Mound pumpkin patch


Braden's helping Spencer through the maze (he's such a good big brother!)

We're Having a....

GIRL!!! We went in this afternoon for my ultrasound appointment and were able to find out the gender! Ben, Braden, and Spencer all thought the baby was going to be a girl and when we found out Braden said "I knew it"! He also asked me if I could tell that the baby had long hair :) I guess he imagines the baby already with long hair since she's a girl but if this baby is anything like her brothers she's not going to have much hair for a while! Braden also said he's going to be gentle with his sister and give her lots of hugs :) Our doctor asked Braden and Spencer what they want to call their sister and suggested George. Spencer agreed. (I think not!) Luckily we've already picked out the name Ashley Marinn. So we are all very excited to be having a girl in the family and glad that she's healthy and are looking forward to meeting her sometime in March :)

Braden's 1st Soccer Game

Braden was sooooooo excited that he finally got to play in his very 1st soccer game today. His first 3 games were cancelled due to all the rain we had been getting and the field conditions so finally he got to play today! He did great! Braden scored at least 5 goals he's got some great natural ability must have gotten that from his Dad. Ben's helping out coaching and is enjoying that as well. Poor little Spencer wants to play so bad! He'll have to wait a couple more years.
