Soccer days

We play soccer every Saturday morning at a nearby park. Our league started out with a few families that wanted to let their kids enjoy soccer without breaking the bank, and as word got out, we ended up with over 50 kids. Alex's team has some little 3 year old girls that spend most of the time holding hands, as you can see!Tanner plays with the older kids and LOVES it! We are thrilled to find a sport that he enjoys and isn't completely intimidated by. His best friend, Brock and he are on the same team (of course!)Natural athelete, we think.....don't all parents??




Alex's 5th birthday bash!

Our big 5 year old!A game of musical chairs was pretty fun upstairs! Matt put some black lights in and the kids enjoyed dancing with glow in the dark sticks, necklaces and bracelets!The line for slamming the pinata was long... Our birthday boy with his homemade chia pit with real grass!




A visit from the Cox family

Katie and Brian Cox, our best friends from college joined us for a long weekend with their newest addition, Josie (3 months). With our 5 kids altogether, we discovered that hanging out at the house, napping, playing games and eating was our best bet! A bit different from our adventurous college days!All of us, except little Elise....where was she??? Okay, so we had one outing to Pojo's for a fun afternoon of games and bumper cars.Addie and Josie hanging out.Yes, 3 year old Berkeley likes olives!




Sunday, April 5, 2009

We spent a fun afternoon at our friends, Hannah and Ava's house. Little did I know that the boys have been watching "Dancing with the Stars" at their Nana's house and have learned a few moves. The four kids came out from "rehearsal" with these choreographed dances (all Tanner's doing). Hmmmmm.....

Happy Birthday video

A cool talking phone from Granmimi and Granpa Howard. I think she likes it!
Our happy birthday song to the latest princess in our family!

April Fools....no, she really is ONE!

I guess we'll go in reverse. She has now figured out that cake is GOOD, and she wants to share with Daddy. We switched to a small cupcake as the "little cake" was a bit overwhelming for her! Daddy is helping her say, "I'm one now". My cousin JuDawn make these sweet petal cakes. One for the big guys, one special cake for E and cupcakes for all else. They were so yummy! Her cousins, Dillyn and Mia passed on this cool ride for E to enjoy. She loves being pushed around by her brothers. I might have another "motorhead" on my hands.....Now, this is how we started the day off. Look how big my little girl is today! She even let me put a barrett in her hair. Notice by the end of the day, she had NO clothes on and who knows where that cute barrett is.
