Jacob took this nice picture of our old maple tree

This morning we finished cutting the tires and hauled them down to the dumpster.  We lit the brush pile behind the barn.  Then we worked on cutting large branches from the aspen and cottonwood trees by the driveway.  I lifted Jared with his chainsaw in the bucket of the tractor so he could reach these large branches.  The boys all helped clean up the trees.  After lunch we headed into town for soccer games.  Adam had to be there at 1:30 for his 2:00 games.  Eli had to be at his game at 2:00 for his 2:30 game.  After taking Eli to his field Jared came back to watch the first half of Adam's game.  Then he went to watch half of Eli's game.  I came over just before Eli's halftime and Jared went back to watch the end of Adam's game.  It was hot on the field with no breeze.  We went to 7 eleven for slurpies/pops afterwards. At home we worked outside until dinnertime.  Jared had to take apart the lawn mower because it needs some parts replaced.  The boys played with legos. We took a walk in the woods and then sat on the swing and called Grandma and Grandpa. When it got dark the boys and Daddy had fun playing with Wyatt new glow ball.  It glows bright and they rolled it on the ground and play some tag game with it.
