Soccer

So many of you know that Joel is in under 6 soccer again this year.  You would think under 6 soccer, childs play, to the kids however it is all business enjoy the pics. I call the second pic "let me hear an amen", the  pic with the girl in the gray uniform shows a girl that took down like every player on our team through out the game, the last pic I call karate kid. 

Heather and St. Johns wedding

Darin's niece got married two weeks ago it was such a beautiful wedding I just had to post some of the pictures.  We wish them all the best and for all us old married folks reading this we know they will need all the luck and patience they can find.  And yes that was our boys climbing the tree at the temple with their cousin.  I am sure Sidney will be up there soon enough. 

For the Dems

So I am an Independent, and Darin is a Republican, but I come from a very strong Democratic Family (Mother, Grandparent, ect.) My Father is also a Republican and wanted me to point that out.  This picture was done by my brother and this is my shout out to them.  Enjoy (or not)

Sydney Turns One September 7

So Sydney finally made it to her first birthday.  It was crazy exciting and I can't say enough how much fun all my kids are, but lets face it girls are just so fun to dress.  Here are some fun facts about Sydney...

1. She is the only family member with blue eyes
2. She is my only child who loves when I sing to her
3. She loves wheels on the bus
4. She loves shoes all shapes and sizes, but especially her own
5. She already thinks she can do everything her brothers can do
6. She loves the water
7. She is a total mama's girl (sorry Darin)
8. She is only in the 3% tile for weight
9. She loves chocolate (um, I wonder who she got that from)
10. Last and not least, She loves to wrestle with her brothers

Happy Birthday Sid =)

So my Camera is back online and where do I begin.  I will tell you my story of the importance of giving back, recycling, and a pinch of white trash dumpster diving.  Darin and I had gone through our closets and had a bad of old cloth sitting in our garage.  It sat there like a month and finally I decided I needed to take it to good will.  I was having a busy day and I thought how much easier it would be to just throw the bag out in the trash and save myself a trip.  But I really hate waste and some of the shirts Darin threw out had hardly been worn so I threw it in the car and hauled all three of our kids to the local Goodwill.  On the alley to the Goodwill donation site there were dumpsters and as we were driving away and spotted a green plastic slide inside one of them.  The Irony or just good old fashion luck is our slide to our play set just broke a couple of months ago and a replacement was like 100$.  So I ignored all the things my parents taught me rolled up my sleeves and fished the thing out, this was no small task.  To get it into our Pilot the boys and to drive home with their heads down, I wish my camera was working to show you all the picture of that, lets just say I got more than a few looks on the freeway.  Well I got it home cleaned it up and it fit and was better than our old one =)  So that story was like my story of the month.  Here are some pics of Joel's soccer game today where he scored two goals.  Yeah, he scored more than any other player and half the goals of the entire game. 

Ok that did not work here I go again...

Ok So sorry I have not blogged for like two weeks, I have some great white trash stories coming your way, but I believe all good stories should have pictures and as fate has delt me a cruel hand again my husband lost the battery charger to our new expensive camera so I am in download limbo.  Sydney just had her first birthday which was way fun and I totally wanted to blog about that but now I am bummed because all her cute outfit pictures are on my friends digital camera. s I began having a pity party for myself when I was reminded of a video clip I saw on youtube and thought I would share it with you.  It has a couple of Mormon missionaries on it.  For our friends and family that are not Mormon don't worry it is always fun to tease the missionaries even for us Mormons.  Here is the link I hope it works
