Real Soccer Game

We had the opportunity of going to the Real soccer game on Saturday.   Dave and I weren't sure how the kids would do, since it was a 7pm start time.  But the kids surprised us and had a wonderful time. 

It was a lot of fun.  Jace asked me if he would be able to play for Real and be in the World Cup.  I said if he continued to practice and do good in school that he might be able to.  Real won 2-0!!  Such a great game.

Thanks Tysen and Heidi for letting us use your tickets!!!

Piglet Plunge

These are pictures of the kids doing the piglet plunge at the dirty dash.  They had a good time.  Abbey did a cannon ball right into the mud pit.  The boys weren't quite so daring.  It was a fun day!

Dave and the Dirty Dash

Dave and a few friends entered the Dirty Dash.  It was a lot of fun for them to get dirty and run.  They had a great time!  Many q-tips were needed.

Happy Birthday Ty

Ty turned 5  this month.  He is getting so big.  He goes to preschool 4 days out of the week.  He loves Mrs. Pam.  His good friend Preston attends with him.   Ty is so fun.  He loves to make everyone happy and likes to make them laugh.  We love you Ty!!!

School's in session!!!

Abbey and Jace started school on the 11th of August.  Abbey is in Mrs. Schofield's second grade class and Jace is in Mrs. Love's first grade class.  They both are enjoying school.  Jace, last Monday when he got home from the first full day of school, says "today was the longest day....EVER!!!!"  I wish I could have captured that moment. 

Awesome quote by an awesome woman

“As you create a home, don’t get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don’t dwell on your failures, but think about your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey”. Sis Marjorie Hinkley

Antelop Island

This past weekend, we took our family to Antelop Island.  It was a lot of fun.  The boys had fun kicking the soccer ball around and climbing trees at the ranch.  Abbey was content sitting and drawing pictures.  It was a nice day.

Our new addition

This is Mousey.  He is our new kitten.  The kids love him to death.  They just can't decide who gets to hold him when.  Mousey has a very mild temperment and does well with the kids.  Hopefully, the kids will get used to him soon and not fight over him so much. 

Disneyland

Yes, we have been slackers.  While Abbey and Jace were off track in March we decided to go to Disneyland.  We had so much fun.  The kids had a blast,except for Space Mountain.  Here is a priceless picture of them just getting off the ride.

Here are the kids with their faces painted.  Ty was so cute to roar like a tiger and bring out his "claws".  Jace was also a tiger, and Abbey had a Unicorn mask done.  Lasted for a about 5 hours. 

 

We had so much fun.  It was great to celebrate Dave beating cancer!!!
