Happyfanily: Still here! End of July and August in review

Well I'm back. I've just survived the first quarter of school and it's going great! We've been so busy though with preschool for S.Jessen every day, Tater's potty training, and soccer every Saturday (p.s. glad that's over!). We were blessed with great weather for most of the Saturday games. We would have been fine with 3 games instead of 6. 4-year-old's attention spans don't last for 6 games. At least ours didn't :) Roger has also been very busy at work and finishing his MBA up~ he's done in December, yea!

I have been busy growing and growing and growing! We also found out in September that we are having another boy to add to the bunch! We are thrilled! We had a few worrisome weeks when they thought he may have some heart defects or worse, but he is perfectly healthy and we can't wait to meet him. Thank God for that and for all those praying for us. He is our little Miracle.

At the end of July we finished up swim lessons and S.Jessen had baseball camp.

Fort Dodge got a new splash pad that the boys really loved playing in. We got to go several times before school started.

Last night of swim lessons. Tate loved the baby pool best!

Baseball camp! Nice grab. Way to throw it back.

S.Jessen had a big time funny at camp. They were running the bases and he went from home, to second, to third, to first, and around again. We were dying of laughter! It was so cute.

August was a stay at home for the Brechts. S.Jessen had soccer camp the first week in August. We were trying to get the last of the play dates in before Mommy and S.Jessen had to go back to school! I'm just going to put a hodge podge of pics from August and then I'll do September and October hopefully before the weekend is over! Cross your fingers :)

First time poopin on the potty, yea!

Cute, but they look up to something don't they? I'm sure they'll teach the new little guy everything then know!

First day of soccer camp with shin guards on! Kicking the ball.

S.Jessen loved helping Daddy trim trees and then pulled then to the revene next door. Daddy was trying to get lots of yard work done before the good weather left us.
