Soccer Season

Tanner had his first Soccer game today. He loves it. He is playing with his friends Caleb and Bradley. Their team is actually pretty good.


Tanner I think made one goal and was able to get some good kicks on the ball. His team is called the White Sharks. They are all so cute. I love this age of soccer because they are just so excited to run and chase the ball and get a few kicks in.

He ran so hard one time and someone stepped on his shoe that it came off. Poor coach.


He looks like a real soccer player out there.
Way to go Tanner!!! Go White Sharks!!




1st Days of School

Where does the time go? I can't believe summer is over and the kids are all back in school. My Tanner boy started his 1st day of preschool on August 7th. He was so excited to go back. His teacher is Miss Sheila and he really likes her. He was so confused why he didn't have his old teacher at first so that took a little bit of explaining.
He now goes three days a week and we put him in the afternoon. It makes for some really big quiet time in the afternoon. One more year of preschool and then off to the big school.




Kaya's first day of 1st grade was on August 18th. She was so excited to go all day so that she could eat school lunch. If only it could stay this way. They did the colors for the first two weeks and so they had them wear the color of the day. The first day it was red so we really had to scrounge for something red. She loves her new teacher Mrs. Milne. She seems like she will be awesome. She is super organized and has great structure in the classroom.

It is so hard to watch your little ones getting older but so fun to see the little people that they are turning into. If only time would just go a little bit slower!!

St. George Birthday

So for my birthday this year all I wanted to do was escape. So we took off with our little family and some friends and went to St. George. We pretty much spent our days at the pool swimming. It was pretty hot the first day, like 112, so we definitely stayed in the water that day.
The kids couldn't get enough. They played so hard and swam so much.
The pool had a great little shallow end that Cole stayed in almost the whole time. It was perfect for him. He still gets a little nervous going into the deep water.

Tanner loved diving into the water. This kid is such a little fish. He would let Dave chuck him up into the air and he would splash in the water. He has gotten so good at swimming under the water too. He is going to be a great swimmer.


Kaya did a great job swimming too. I thought she would get tired of all the boys around her and being the only girl but she did great. She had so much fun.

Then at the end of the day this is what would happen. It doesn't get much better than that. Sleeping Kids!!! AHHH!!
It was a great birthday. Some good sun, awesome pedicure, good relaxation, great friends!!
Dave also gave me an awesome new video camera which will be great. Thanks babe for a great time!!
Thanks Brooke and Jeremy for making it happen!!!

My BaBy is 2!!


Cole at 1 1/2 months old1 year old


2 YEARS OLD!!!!

I can't believe it but my baby is 2 already. He is such a sweet boy! We celebrated his birthday this year with two parties. On August 1st we went to my brother Jared's house and took our big waterslide to have a big Summer Birthday Bash celebrating all of the birthdays during the summer. It was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast playing with their cousins in the water and jumping on the tramp. We had a great BBQ too.
Then on the 2nd we had all of Dave's side of the family over to our house to celebrate it. Dave BBQ'd for us and we had a great time watching the kids play and Cole open up his presents.

We sure love our Cole Bear. He is a bundle of energy and growing up so fast. He talks so great and is a little parrot of Tanner. He loves his big brother and wants to do everything like he does. Lately he has been way into Thomas the Train and loves everything about him. He is definitely all boy with loves of cars, trains, balls, tools, and anything else that boys are into. Oh yeah can't forget his army guys and tractors.
Happy Birthday Cole Bear!!! We love you!!
