Last day of soccer




Last day of soccer was on Saturday. They had a little scrimmage and then received their medals....they were so proud and very cute, I might add! They are doing really well dribbling! We were going to have them join an actual soccer team this season bu it ends up that we were out of town or would have to miss half of the games so we are keeping it simple and just doing a dance class. Preschool keeps up busy enough :)

Fun at the Zoo

We went to the zoo with my friend Morgan and her kiddos Noah and Kristian. Avery wanted her picture taken with the iguana...there ya go! I don't know what my new interest in reptiles shedding is but this one was pretty cool!

Random thoughts...

I think I like Andon's hair longer like in his first day of school pictures....he looks too grown up in the new hamper picture.I guess we'll just trim up over the ears and around the sides.

I am so excited for Tahoe...we leave on Wed afternoon!!!! I can't wait to see Jenni and Steve and just spend time with my family! Oh, and the ike ride around the lake will be fun, too :)

Why is it that I am exhausted and ready for bed on nights that Mark is home and I stay up super late (like tonight) and can't get off the computer when he's gone?!?!

I'm down 23 lbs now....3 away from pre-pregnancy :) I feel awesome!

Tonight, at 9:15pm, I had a scary experience at the drive through teller. I needed some cash to pay the babysitter so I was going to do a quick drive through when a car pulls into the drive-thru teller lane, parks by the machine, turns off his lights and sits there. I quickly pushed cancel and drove off. I got stuck at the light right out front of the credit union and another care came in the opposite direction and stopped right next to the bank....I wasn't quite sure what to do because then the light turned green and the car on the street drove off slowly. Was I just paranoid or should I have called 9-1-1???? If I hear on the news tomorrow that the credit union was robbed then I know my answer!

I think Avery and Andon finally figured out what they want to be for Halloween this year....Avery has been stuck on Dorothy and Andon has teetered back and forth between the Green Witch and now the Green Lollipop Kid.....I am trying to talk him into the Scarecrow because I think it would be so cute and an easy costume!

Peek-a-boo....3 years later



Andon climbed in the empty hamper today (yes empty for a change) so I had Avery hop in too....they look a lot different now years later!!!! Time FLIES!!!!!!!

Dance Recital




Avery had her tap and ballet "recital last night...it was just too cute! She is really starting to dance, not just flop around. SHe knows all her positions and can go there on her own.

She simply ADORES her teacher, Miss Lindsey! She just told us she is 14 weeks pregnant and will only be teaching 1 more 6 week session before taking an 11 month break! So, we weren't going to have any outside school activities this semester but be HAD to sign her up for it! Of course we are going to miss the first class next week while we are in Tahoe but that's ok...it's worth it!

Avery Got her Hair Cut!!!










Well, we finally did it...we cut Avery's hair....7.5 inches to be exact ! With her thin hair, we had so many tears when trying to brush out her hair each and every day and I was so frustrated! I have wanted to get this done for a long time but debated doing it before I was able to get them in for their color 4 year pictures (we had it scheduled and then Avery bonked her head and managed to have an enormous black and blue goose egg smack dab in the middle of her forehead).

I will also go back and post pictures from their first day of school...and she has long hair!
