Soccer

The boys started soccer a couple of weeks ago and it has been so neat watching them improve with each game.  They are on the same team so we are able to watch both of them at the same time.  Both of them get right in there and have each made a couple goals.

I am so proud of my boys and I love watching them play.  It is the highlight of my week.  I get to yell and cheer for them and nothing could be better.

Women's Walk 2010

The End is here!

Every year, my sisters, sister in-laws, and mom get together and do the Women's Walk.  It is always so neat to see the number of people that show up and it is a great time with the girls!  This year we did the walk and then went to my sister's house and ate and did a craft.  My mom found these cute block pumpkins that we made and it was a lot of fun.  I am already looking forward to next year.

First Day of School

Caleb brought the boys by so I could see them and we were able to take a quick picture.

On the 30th of August, the boys had their first day of school.  Unfortunately, that was my first day of school too, so luckily I have a wonderful husband who took them to school and took pictures for me.  They are both loving school and love their teachers.                               

What handsome boys I have!

Family Pictures

We recently had my sister, Emily, take some family pictures for us. She took pics of the whole family and I thought they turned out great. Addison didn't cooperate very well and so we might be having her take some more pics of our family, but these will have to do for now. There are a ton of pics so take your time!

Trenton Turns 8!

On Monday, my little man turned 8! I can't believe how the time has flown and what an amazing boy Trenton has grown to be. He is so compasionate, loving, caring, giving, sensitive, handsome, and just plain wonderful!

On Monday, we stayed home and had dinner. Trenton had requested lasagna and he sat at the head of the table for dinner. Earlier that day, Trenton went shopping with Grandma and had a blast. He found a scooter, some scuba gear, clay, and some really cool books. I think he loved just having the time spent on him.

On Thursday, Trenton went to the bookstore with Aunt Cammie. He picked out several books and has already finished them all! Again, he had a great time and had some special one-on-one time with Aunt Cammie.

On Saturday, we celebrated his birthday with the Barker family. We ate food, spent time in the pool and on the water slide, and enjoyed the wind storm.

Family Weekend

This last weekend we were able to have my family up to the cabin to spend some time together. We were only missing two of my sister's and Joe. We missed all of them and the family just isn't the same without everyone there!



For those that were there, we had a great time. We all came in Friday evening and enjoyed some hot dogs and a campfire. My brothers decided it would be "fun" to play capture the flag in the forest in the pitch black. There were six of us dumb enough to play and needless to say, only a few people were hurt and the competitive boys won! We roasted marshmallows and enjoyed time together.



Saturday morning we all headed up the mountain for a hike. It was a mile long hike and we took everyone, babies and all! It was a steep, long hike, and there were a few of us that realized how out of shape we really are! The little kiddos lead the way and had a great time. We hiked into a lake and it was beautiful when we got there. That afternoon we went to the lake and did some tubing, skiing, and I did some sunbathing! Mom made it up for the evening and we had dinner and celebrated Andy and Trenton's birthday. Most the family headed home that evening, and those of us that stayed were quite exhausted.



It was so nice to have everyone together and it we made some great memories. Thank you to my wonderful husband who helped with all the entertaining and for dealing with my stress!
