Soccer for T

Talan's playing soccer again! Chad is coaching with one of his friends that he grew up with, Wade. Wade's litte guy, Carter is also playing. It's so fun watching these two friends who used to play, now coaching their sons! Talan had a slow start this season, probably our own fault as we took about 6 months off. His first game the whole family came out to watch and Talan got stage fright we think :-) But he was easily bribed to play...star wars guys always do the trick. His last game he scored 2 goals! Great job buddy, we love you!!
I love this shot...look how little he is!!

The team!

1st Grade field trip

Jaeden's class went to see Peter and the Wolf at the Tempe Arts Theater. Thankfully I was chosen to go as only 2 parents per class got to attend. Yay for me!! I think I was more excited than Jaeden. Here are the kids at the park eating lunch/playing before we headed to the play. Jaeden was SO excited for the bus ride! It was a great play and a fun day spent with my daughter. Thanks Mrs. Pearce!

Vegas Trip- Feb. 2010

We took a family vacation to Vegas oh a couple of months ago...yes, and now I'm finally blogging about it. I swear I'm going to get better at this. No particular reason, but mainly just to get away for a long weekend...oh, and use our timeshare. You can't pass up free rooms in Vegas!! We were able to visit my dear friend Emily and spend some fun times with her family. Here we are bowling at Red Rock Lanes.



Emily and I
Emily is an amazing photographer, mostly for fun, but she REALLY needs to get her business up and running! She's so kind and always willingly volunteers to take our family photos everytime we visit. Thanks Em, you're the best! Here are some of our favs!


We always have to visit the heated resort pool, especially in February! This is the kids' favorite part of traveling. As you see, I was the only smart one and was lucky to just take the photos!


We were able to watch Chad's little sister play in a volleyball tourney all weekend while there. She's so talented and it was so much fun watching her games. Jaeden has now become extremely fond of volleyball and wants to follow in Jordy's footsteps and play volleyball. We ended the long day of swimmming and volleyball with a great family dinner!
Talan couldn't even make it through dinner...poor guy we wore him out!!
