Soccer Season

Fall soccer season has started. Only Andrew is playing, as the games for Anna's age group are on the same day as dance. She is only sad about not being able to play when we go to one of Andrew's games.

Andrew I would say likes soccer just okay. Sometimes he really enjoys it and other times he wants nothing to do with it. His attitude is actually pretty consistent with his personality.



My parents were here for Andrew's first game. My dad is never been known to shy away from helping in anyway that he can, especially at a sporting event. The kids all the loved the assistant coach that game.

Anna is 7

Anna turned 7 on August 25th. The weekend before her birthday my parents were here for BYU Education week and to help me with the kids while Danny was in India. To celebrate her birthday we went bowling and out to dinner. We had a great time!

On her real birthday she picked out some cupcakes to take to her class at school and dance class. She then requested for dinner that I make steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, and salad. She loved the gift card to Wal-mart that she got from Grandma Mary, when she opened the envelope she squealed, "I always wanted a credit card." Seriously, where did she get that from?

At Fat Cat's for bowling with Grandma and Papa

I don't know how, but Nathan slept through the first part of the bowling

Where did these ramps come from? I remember being little, using two hands, spreading my legs and trying to roll (throw) the ball down. Bowling has gotten way too easy for kids. :)



Andrew is going through the lovely stage where he does not know how to smile.



Nathan is up and ready to party.



We are so glad Uncle Jason is back from his mission and going to school at BYU.



It wouldn't be a party without at least one melt down.



Happy Birthday Anna! We are so glad you are in our family. You are such a sweetheart.
