It's Soccer Season!

And that means it's Mohawk Time!


Daisey and Isaac both had soccer games today. And both teams won! Yay!

Donkey Basketball!

Yep! You read that right!Last week was the annual Donkey Basketball game at our local highschool. I'd honestly never heard of such a thing! Basically, the players play basketball-while riding donkeys! The kids and I went with my dad to the game and laughed our heads off! The pictures really don't do it justice. It was hilarious!






Only in Utah......

Blog Slacker #2

Yes, I remember I promised I would be better at keeping up with my blog and I had every intention of doing so.....and then our computer crashed.....dun dun duuuun! Thankfully our new one is working great!

So here it goes, another 3 month catch up with Bob and Britt and kids!

April:

Soccer! In Utah soccer season starts at the end of March and ends in May. Craziness I say! We had a few games with really nice weather but Daisey and Isaac played quite a few in the rain, snow and hail!

I don't have pictures of them wearing sweats under their uniforms and snow hats on their heads but believe me, it was cold!

May:

School let out at the beginning of May, it's been a long summer!

The teacher gifts were all Daisey's idea. She wanted to plant flowers and paint "Thank you for helping me GROW" on the pot. How cute is that? We actually painted the pots with chalkboard paint and the kids wrote the sentiment and their names on them. We added foam handprints with their names on them. Maggie insisted on giving "her teacher" one too. That would be Grandma Diane because she goes to preschool at her house. I think they turned out really cute! I should have made one for myself!

Their teachers this year have been awesome! We'll miss them!

Mother's Day Flowers!

The kids made sachets for their grandma's from a tutorial we got here.

Robert had a birthday and joined me in the big 3-0! This is him on his birthday, a model of maturity.

June:

New nephews!

Congratulations to Zack and Erika on their little one, Zaydan!

And congratulations to Nicole and Aaron on their little one, Daniel!

Aren't they sweet? Awww.....

Look who got a retainer! She's very excited about it!

Isaac went to a Star Wars party. This is what a Jedi with a mohawk looks like! Oh yeah!

And snow in June! WHAT?!!

Remember our new suburban? We love our suburban! Bertha is her name. Maggie calls her

"Su-Bertha". It's very cute! Anyway, 1 suburban named Su-Bertha +1 tired daddy getting out of the suburban to open the garage door + forgetting to put the suburban in park =

Oops! Thank goodness for insurance!

We went and saw Shrek 4 in 3D. It was a cute pic and I LOVE this pic of my family in 3D glasses!

Daisey has been growing her hair out for years but decided she wanted to chop it off to her chin. She looks so big!

Before:

After:

Father's Day! They gave him an awesome handprint fish card (instructions) and a tool belt full of cool "daddy things" including a flashlight, batteries, nails, a pencil, a notebook and lots of candy! Basically I let them go crazy at Family Dollar!

They sure love their Daddy!

And last, but not least, new cows! Last year's were Tom and Jerry. The year before the cows were named Pinky and The Brain. This year the kids have named them Ren and Stimpy! Haha!

Spring Fever!

Blue skies and warm sunshine are hopefully here to stay! The past few days the weather has been awesome and we couldn't be more thrilled! I hope that posting about the weather won't jinx it!

I've had spring fever for months and am sick of being cooped up in the house, but I think the kids have it the worst. Kids like to be outside. They live to be outside! 6 months of winter is like some kind of torture for my 3 and I'm looking forward to fun times in the sun!

Daisey and Isaac started soccer a couple of weeks ago and I have joined the soccer mom world! How weird is that? haha

The soccer trio

Daisey, #8 of the Comets!
Isaac, #8 of the Loopies!

Maggie Mo, #3 of the Silly Monkeys!

Also, the Easter Bunny stopped by our house last Sunday and there was much rejoicing!
We started the morning off searching for candy and eggs. It's always so fun to watch how excited they get on holidays!

The day started out chilly but warmed up by noon so we were able to enjoy a good part of the day outside.
We went to my mom's house for Easter dinner, an egg hunt and fun with the cousins!
It was a Hoppy day! :)

Dyeing eggs on Saturday

Very Eggcited!

How did the Easter Bunny know that Daisey wanted High School Musical dolls?

Maggie's wagon full of mega blocks equal hours of fun!
She liked it so much she carted it around with her all day long! Helping Grandma Marilyn with the Easter Bunny cake
