Go Devils!

This year we managed to get ASU season tickets...something we will do as a family! It's been really nice to have something to do together and it's really fun! We go and tailgate each game with a bunch of friends of ours and it's been great!

Andon is getting the football fan routine...yelling "DEFENSE" and "GO DEVILS" anytime it's quiet! Avery just loves to be all cute and dressed up...she wants to be a cheerleader or a twirler so that suits her well :) So far we are 2-0 so hopefully we keep it up! The "real" teams are yet to come :)

We haven't taken the pictures off the camera yet so those are still to come :)

Upcoming Vacations and Events!

October and November will be busy, busy months for us!

For AA's fall break, we will be heading to WY! We found a steal on tickets (only $10 more than our pass privileges) so we jumped on them and don't have to worry about not getting on the flight! We have not been back there since Avery and Andon were 13 months old....WAYYYYY too long!!! I am looking forward to taking a bit of a rest and enjoying some beautiful fall weather!

In November, Mark and I will be taking part in a 72 mile charity cycling event for Helping Hands in Africa. We have never participated in this one before but thanks to many who have supported me financially, I am well on my way to reaching my goal of $500! Mark is working on it, too!

This event will be the first one where I am riding on my own bike (instead of tandem) so prayers for safety are appreciated! My goal? Simply to finish this one!!!

Then we finish that up and head out on a cruise to Cabo san Lucas! It's Mark's first cruise and I am really excited to see what he thinks of it! I love cruising :)

Then we get back and a few days later we head down to Tucson for our 3rd Tour de Tucson 109 mile ride! We will be heading down with Mark's cousin and her husband (who also ride tandem together) to enjoy a fun weekend :)

I think after all that travel, we will be staying here for the holidays :) I would like to try and get to Disneyland before Halloween (or during the Christmas decoration season) but I don't think that will happen with all that it going on....Mark will be thrilled! But, that just means a regular visit in 2010 in addition to a visit to Chicago! Boy, it's hard now that all 5 cousins are in school!

Soccer

AA started soccer this year! This is the last year that they are able to be on the same team since next year they go to all boy and all girl teams if we stay with this league. Andon scored his first goal at the first game....a hole-in-one right from kick-off!!! Avery has shown that she can hustle and can play with the big boys! She is right in there all the time! Andon is doing great, too! Here is the team picture that was taken this weekend....next month we get official pictures taken :)

Kindergarten!

Lots has happened since Disneyworld and I have been way behind on posting!

AA Started kindergarten! We have had some bumps in the road with some "rough" kiddos and some adjusting to all-day school but they are smart, smart, smart!!! I have finally adjusted to having them in all-day k and I am loving helping in the classroom! Friday is my morning to help and this coming week we have our first field trip....to the park next door to the school..Pizza Party!!!

Here are some pictures of their first day of school and meet the teacher....meet the teacher they are not wearing backpacks :)
