Busy Weekends

We have had a super busy month already! 
We started off in Hays with Grammy and Grampa.  We got to go to Ben's grandma's 75th birthday party.  We saw lots of family while we were there and the boys loved playing with their cousins.  We also tried out Home Depot's kid project and Grampa helped the boys make their little football goals, which was really fun! 
 

Then, I participated in the NEMO triathlon with a couple of friends.  It is a 3/4 mile swim, 18 mile bike ride, and 5 mile run. I did the running portion for our team.  We didn't break any speed records, but we all finished and had such a blast doing it together.  I think we finished in just under 2.5 hours and good news--we weren't in last place!
 
This past weekend my parents, the boys, and I went down to Wichita for my cousin's wedding.  Ben was on call, so couldn't come with us.  We made a super fast trip down there, but the boys did great.  We even got to go to the zoo Sunday morning and the boys both really enjoyed it.  The weather was perfect and all the animals were out and really easy to see.  The reptile house seemed to be their favorite of the day.   

 

 

So far, September has been a little crazy.  Now, Ben just has to finish preparing for his boards.  He takes them at the end of this month.  He has been studying non-stop, so we are both ready for them to be over with!
