Flag football

Today bra went out for flag football. Well this was not even going to happen. Braden has so much going on with soccer and then Julia with soccer and ballet our plates are full. But Braden begged me to sign up. Against brad's will i decided to sign him up. So i did. Today bra was very excited about the game he has been practicing evey night with Brad. So today he ran out there ready. He actually played Miles Atkins and Jordan Cordreys team. Maybe Braden just needed to beat his buddy maybe he was just in the right mind set, but Braden went out there ready to play today. He took the field and begged to be quarterback. Braden has never begged to play anything. Soccer, basketball, and every other sport we have ever put Braden in he has never begged to play anything. Braden is very shy and afraid to dissapoint, but not today. Braden took that field like a bandit ready to play. First play bra busted out a stop on defense!! Wait i thought to myself was that bra i had to check the shorts to make sure that was him. he played a great first half. Score was 2 nothing his team loosing! Bra went back second half and not only played great but scored!! Yes my Braden scored!!!! Not only that but the only one on the team that scored!!! Braden's team lost their first game, but it was a win for my little boy in everyway!!! Way to go BRADEN !! I love you!!

The State Fair

The Kentucky state fair!!! We love the fair!!! Nana and Bopa would take Me, Ryan and Bretty every year!! We would look so forward to the fair, could wait to have funnel cakes, pork chop sandwiches, Fish sandwiches, cotton candy, and my favorite Carmel apples!!! The fair is now one of Braden, Julia, Abbie and Ryson's favorite things!!! This year was however was a little different for the Timmering family. This year... i realized... my babies are getting older..... no stroller to push through those tiny isles, no baby bag to bump into people with. It was this day i realized my babies were kidos now!! And wanting to throw balls for prizes and ride wild rides. Where has the time gone....

Braden and Julia had the best time they looked at all the booths with Mom and Dad!! Ate all the food with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jodie and let out some
screams with Abbie and Ryson!!! What a day our family had they loved the animals especially the piggies with their babies!!! And the duckies on their slide!!!

We did it all in just 8 hours at the fair... yes the whole day at the fair and the best part we will do it again next year!!

First day of school!!!!

Today my little girl started kindergarten!!!! Yes my little Julia Rose is going to school. Where did the time go. How can she be big enough for school. What am i going to do without her. She is very nervous, and that is not her at All she popped right out of bed and was ready in plenty of time for the bus!! For the bus ..... what!!! She looked adorable from the top of her head to the bottom of her toes. It was time 6:50 time for the bus to come we waited in a long line of 11 kids and braden was amazing... telling her, "Julia don't be scared!" Julia knew bra would be there!! The bus pulled up and julia squeezed my hand at that moment i knew she was scared, but i didnt say a word just pulled her up closer to the bus and she started crying saying "Moma i cant do this!! i just can't do this! i don't want to go !! i want to stay with you". At that moment it was all i could do not to cry myself. I just swalled as hard as i could and told her you are have to brave and a big girl!! You are such a strong person you can do this!! i put her in her seat with Naporh, a little girl across the street that julia was not crazy about, and she was just sobbing...... the bus pulled away and Julia was crying waving good bye....... a sight i could not erase from my mind. As the bus pulled away i let it goooooo. I lost it. Julia was a big girl on the bus. i was alone ....... she was gone my baby all day. No more Mcdonald runs, no more picnics, no more late mornings, no more girl days, and no more mommy julia time, while big brother Braden was at school. The day went by and it was time for her to get home. i anxiously went to the bus stop as the bus pulled up and opened the door there stood Julia with a huge grin and she ran to me as fast as she could!! And said " Moma i missed you!!" if she only knew how much i missed her too!!
