Family photos...oh boy fun!

So we spent the afternoon taking family photos....let's just say it was a long afternoon. Thanks Nana for you expertise and photographic skills. We appreciate your patience!

Yet another day of soccer...

We had a great couple of days of soccer. Landon and Logan played Friday night. Both boys did great! Landon FINALLY played without crying and, in fact, didn't want to leave the field. He scored 2 goals and is becoming quite the little soccer player. Yeah! Logan was awesome as usual! He scored 4+ goals...but who's counting! :)

Bright and early Saturday morning Emma and I headed out to her game. It was a bit cold, not too bad, but the grass was soaked. You would think they wouldn't water the night before! So with freezing, soaking feet, she played and I watched from under my blanket. She did super, scoring 1 goal which was well earned! She is so much fun to watch...zipping here and there and occasionally having a girl moment (ducking from the ball, screaming, etc.). She keeps volunteering to be the goalie but so far we have lucked out! Mommy and Nana do not do well when she is back there!
And Josh's game...like always they are fun to watch! Those kids actually "know" how to play soccer and can play positions without getting all scrunched up in the middle. It's fun to watch them pass around others and dribble with some "moves." Josh had a great game as well! He scored 2 goals that were amazing! We are so proud of him for his hard work and determination on and off the field. Yeah Joshy!!!!

Yeah for Emma! Emma was choosen as Student of the Week for exhibiting the character trait "forming good habits." We are so very proud of her! She is doing great in school and loves her new teacher. The boys are enjoying school as well and hopefully we will get to see another one as Student of the Week this year! Way to go Emma girl! We are so proud of you!

Just the three of us...

So while the kids were away for the weekend we played around with the camera (preparing for family pics next weekend!) and got a few good pics to share of the grownups and dog. :) It gets pretty darn quiet around here when there are no kiddos to entertain us and we often end up doing random things...like taking pictures of ourselves! Anyway, hopefully by next Sunday we will have some wonderful family pics to share.

Since soccer was cancelled today, we thought some recent pictures of the three younger kiddos would do. These were taken at their daycare, hence no Joshy in them :( and turned out pretty darn cute! The kids have grown up so fast. It seems like only yesterday they were learning to walk and talk! How time flies!

A day of soccer!

We finally got a picture of all 4 kiddos in their uniforms! Yeah! Then Joshy discovered that the numbers went in order so we had to get another picture of the backs in numerical order. How lucky to be able to put them in numerical order!?!? Crazy! We had a very, very long day at the fields...8:30-2:30 but the kids held up well and we all survived. Thanks to all those who made it for one game or another. The kids were so excited to see baby Andrew come watch! They love their cousin and Landon even got to hold him for awhile. As you can see Andrew is almost as big as Landon! And...we finally got Landon on the field without crying! It may have been the last five minutes of the game, but it's a start. He had his daddy on the field helping him and hopefully next weekend he will play longer with no help. Baby steps I guess! All four kids won their games, for those keeping score. Logan scored 4 or 5 goals, Emma scored 2, Josh scored 2, and, well, Landon almost got 1! Have a great week all and hope to see some of you at the fields soon!

All About Miley

Miley was born on May 4, 2008. She is four months old. She had brothers and sisters but she got tooken away from them because we wanted her. We got Miley when she was three months old. Miley likes to go in the neighbors yard but she doesn't like to go in her kennel that we built. She likes to eat sticks, bugs, and poop. We like to go fishing with her, camping, and other stuff like that. We went to our cabin and threw her in the lake and she could swim. She likes to jump on people. She likes me, mom, Josh, Logan, Landon, and Lavon. Nana and Christine love her but Christine can not see her that often because she is allergic. I love Miley because she is my sister. Written by Emma!

The first days of soccer...

Soccer season has started! Here are a few pictures of the kiddos at the games. Everyone did great scoring lots and lots of goals....well, except Landon who refused to play and spent the entire time crying and being bribed to no avail with candy and gum. Little bugger made out in that department but never did move a muscle on the field! He even got a snack after the game! Oh well, maybe this weekend will be better! The picture of him is before the game when he was happy! Logan and Josh scored masive amounts of goals. We lost count but I bet they could tell you the exact number. Emma scored her first goal and is becoming quite the little soccer player (maybe like her mommy!) even though her team as a whole, well, is "learning how to play together." We have another busy Saturday at the fields and for the next five or six weeks that is where we will be ever weekend. Come by and check us out if you can!

1st Anniversary

For our 1st Anniversary we spent a day at the spa...honey wraps, massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures. It was quite a day with many laughs and stories to tell! Then we went up to Horseshoe Bend for the Zipline! What fun we had! If you have never done it...you are missing out! We can't wait to go back and do it again!

A Trip to Lowman

So we decided maybe we should try this blogging thing to keep family and friends updated....with that being said, welcome to our page! Here are the four kids in Lowman. We had a great summer only it was too short! We are now busy, busy with soccer and school so we will try to be good about updating!
