"REAL ATHLETE"

Over the past 3 days Ben has been involved in a competition called "Real Athlete."  He and 5 other guys formed a team and competed in 7 different sports.  His team was in last place after the first 2 events, bowling and golf, but they brought it for basketball, volleyball, football, soccer and softball.  Their team ended up in the championship softball game to win the whole event, but came up short and ended up in 2nd place.  Ben, however, was chosen to the all state team (the best 6 athletes in the competition.)  He was also the oldest athlete competing.  He's a stud!  The young punks he schooled were amazed that he still plays at such a high level.  He was good at everything (except bowling LOL).  I was a very proud wife today. 

One of the highlights was during flag football.  Ben rushed the QB, batted his pass, then caught the ball and returned it for a touchdown,  As he neared the end zone he turned around moonwalked the last 5 yards, then "mic dropped" the ball.  Very entertaining Ben!  He should be all over the highlight real.  He was shakin fools in basketball, his kills were sic in volleyball, and his home run was awesome!  Makes me wish I had been around during his "glory years." 

Two Thumbs Up!

Qyntn turned 4!  When I put him to bed on his birthday I asked him how his day went.  He put out both thumbs and said, "two thumbs up!"  He is adorable.  I feel so blessed to be his mommy.

He was SOOO excited for his birthday.  He's practically

been counting down the past 271 days.

His favorite color is green

he had been begging for a RC monster truck

His favorite meal is Zupa's Wisconsin Cauliflower soup

He is a chocolate freak!

And LOVES Hang Time

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Celebrating our anniversary has been the pits over the past few years.  2 years ago Ben was in the Cayman Islands on our anniversary.  Last year I had shoulder surgery 3 days before and was miserable in bed recovering on our anniversary.  This year Ben had to go to Las Vegas on business.  Maybe next year we will finally have it together.  Who knows?? 

I think Ben was feeling bad that he couldn't be here so he told me to go shopping and buy myself something nice.  I wanted to find a new outfit for church but didn't find anything I liked, but I found this...

Happy Anniversary to me!  I know, I know, it looks like all the other shirts I buy.  I guess I just love raglan t-shirts.  It is super comfy!

Love you Ben!  Thanks for 6 blissful years of marriage.  This past year was another doozy with my surgeries and crazy church callings, but I can say that I love you more today than I did the day we eloped.  You are the most kind, thoughtful, loving man I have ever known.  I admire you tremendously and being your wife makes me the luckiest girl alive!
