Hunger Games

Well, I gave into peer pressure and starting reading "Hunger Games". I try to avoid these books because once I start I can't put the darn thing down. And as usual I did nothing yesterday but read. I absolutely loved the first book. I read it in one day, and went first thing this morning to get the second one. Guess I won't get much done this week, might as well finish the series and get it over with. It is The Truman show meets Avatar. If you're a reader I highly recommend them, I think they will be this years "Twilight". I'm sure there's a movie in the making.

Maizee and Faith

Maizee and Faith were playing in the yard tonight, I took a couple quick video clips. Not sure who is leading who, but they are sure cute doing it :)

Run Traeson Run

Wow what a difference a week makes. Traeson's football team kicked butt today. They played West Haven, who is notorious for having great teams. Traeson had 2 huge runs for Touch Downs. He had 3 60 yard runs in a row, the first 2 were called back, but he just kept doing it again. He is such a fast little streaker, if he can get on the outside, its over!! We are so excited to see what he can do.

J.R.'s team had a rougher week. J.R. had a great game himself. He had several nice blocks to spring long runs, and a couple really nice touchdown saving tackles.

Fall is a fun season at our house!! We will see what next week brings.

Season Opener

Saturday was J.R.'s 12th birthday. He celebrated with a great football game. He ran for a 60 yard touchdown, threw for a TD, and an extra point. He had a blast.

Traeson had his first game too. His team wasn't quite as prepared. They got beat pretty bad, but he got to play QB and is ready for another week of practice.

Calendar Update

I have updated the calendar with football games for the boys, and Taylors volleyball game schedule.

Maizee the Jabber Talky

Maizee has gotten a very large vocabulary the past couple months. She is obsessed with horses. She talks about horses and spongebob all day long. Here is a link to a youtube video of her saying some of her favorite words. You can subscribe to our youtube channel and be notified whenever we add new video clips. This video was taken about a month ago and she had changed so much already, but it's fun to listen to your little voice. She is such a little ray of sunshine in our lives.

Super busy weekend

Well we had avery busy weekend. Welcome to spring around our house. In a 24 hour period we had a softball game, went to the Jazz playoff game is SLC, a volleyball tournament in Idaho Falls, a soccer game, a dance competion, and 2 baseball games. Needless to say, we had to divide and conquer. I got the easy task of taking Taylor to the volleyball tournament in Idaho, Jared had to stay home and get everyone else every where they needed to be. He even did Dodee's hair and make-up for the dance competition.

We went to the Jazz playoff game on Friday night. It was tons of fun. The kids enjoy the pregame as much if not more than the game.

Then Saturday morning came and the real choas began. Taylor and I left at 5:30 am to get to the volleyball tournament. Dodee had a soccer game. She always plays great and is such a little hustler.

J.R. had a double header for the Beavers. He plays 2nd and does a great job.

Then Dodee had a dance competition. She performed 3 dances and always looks so cute. She is only 6 and is in the group for girls 8 to 12. She does a super job.

The full dance is too long to upload but can be viewed by clicking the following links.

Then the boys ended the weekend with a round of golf on Sunday. It was colder than they thought so they froze, but still had a fun time.

Now we need a weekend to recover from our weekend. Only problem is that next weekend looks just the same.
