Soccer Season!

This year the girls wanted to play soccer. Well if any of you know how skilled I am when it comes to sports then you will know how I worried that they wanted to play. But their dad said "they can play if they want to" so I signed them up. Mally is very excited to play.

Of course she had to get her doll ready for the game as well in her very own soccer attire. Honestly!!! She is on team BLAST!!! She was a little nervous when she got to the first game and realized she is on of 3 girls on a 12 person team. However she was the only one with a pink ball so that made it ok!! haha She was so cute to watch play. At one point she started to kick it and we had to yell "THE OTHER WAY" she was kicking it down the wrong way. She never even noticed (or cared) she was so proud of herself for kicking the ball at all!
She would just wait until the coaches said "break time" and she would come running over for water as if she had just ran the mile or something. When we asked her at the end of the game what her favorite part was she said "the snack after the game" So we will see how it goes!! I will post pics of Chandlers game after this weekend. Her game rained the whole time so they ended up canceling it.

Off to Preschool

Aubrey had her first day of preschool and boy was she excited. She has wanted to go to preschool since her big sisters go to school. She thinks she is big time now!! Well, she is!
She was given her own bag at school to bring with her every time. Its so funny because its like twice the size of her. But she loves that thing. She got to pick out the color because purple is her favorite color.
When we got to school she found out one of the little girls name was Hayden and she said "two Haydens, my brother and a girl" "thats silly". She is so funny lately (and a stinker too) but Chandler has been learning the National Anthem at school so she has been teaching it at home to her sisters and boy can Aubs sing this one! Its so funny!

10 year Anniversary!!!

I know I am so behind on my blogging so be patient as I have alot to update! On August 21st we celebrated our big 10 year anniversary. I cant believe how fast those 10 years have gone and boy was I spoiled. I woke up (and it was the first day of school) and Dave had made an agenda for my day starting at 9am I had a shopping spree to the mall till noon and then I met him at the Olive garden for lunch. From 1-4 I had a trip to the spa for a massage, pedicure and manicure. It was so fabulous!!! He stayed home with the 2 little kids all day while I was gone. I came home just in time for the girls to get off the bus. He had 10 roses for me. Just a side note- He gives me a rose for every year we have been married every year with a poem that he writes. This years was a good one! He made me feel so loved! I love him so much! Thanks honey for the great day!
I had to get a picture of my feet soaking. They are going to have to work real hard on these babies!

First Day of School!

I cant believe Chandler is going to 2nd grade. It makes me sad to think how fast they grow up. Jillian and Chandler on the first day of school. Chandler has Ms. Gehringer, she is great!
Mally always wants to make faces for the camera so we let her since it was the first day!
Kristi, Jillian and Lauren with me and the girls at the school. We were trying to be brave leaving our kids.

August 21st was the first day of school here. Mallory is starting kindergarten. I am so sad to have her go. She goes ALL day long. She was so excited to go since Chandler has been telling her all about her school. Mallory is ready for the day! Emma, Mallory and Chandler on the first day of school!
Mallory with her new teacher Mrs. Shaw. We have heard fabulous things about her and she seems really nice so I think we will have a great year!

Already 8 months!!

Oh my, I cant believe my little man is already 8 months old. He is seriously so happy!

Birthday Girl!

I had such a great day on my birthday. I started out going to some gargae sales with Danyelle. She is the best gargae seller EVER!! Then I went out and mowed the lawn which I do love to do now! My beehive girls showd up with a card and a yummy fruit pizza made by them and Danyelle. So they came in and ate with me. However I had just gotten out of the shower so I had NO makeup and my hair had air dried. GROSS!! Ya it was not a pretty sight! Dave and the girls gave me a chi!! Hip hip hooray!!! We went out to dinner at Murris while the Isoms watched our kids. Thank you so much!!

St Louis Trip!

We went to St Louis a few weeks ago for a night with some friends. We stayed in a hotel and the girls just love to do that. We stayed just a few minutes away from the temple. We went swimming at the hotel and then back to the room to watch the olympics. In the morning I went and did a session at the temple with our friends the Towes.
After the temple we went to Grants farm. Its basically a big zoo. They keep the budweiser clydesdales there so we got to see them. They are huge!
We rode a little tram throughout the farm to see all the animals.
Chandler was the only brave child to feed the goats a bottle. The goats were pretty jumpy!
These are our good friends Eric, Danyelle, Autumn, Haley, and Ella Towe. They are so great!
