F.H.E. or ESPN?

So last night after F.H.E. we took the children to get an ice cream cone at a near by restaurant. As the children sat at the table eating their ice cream Casey sat tinkering with his phone as he often does. Mia looked up at him and said "Daddy, are the Lakers winning?"

Spring soccer ends

Maxwell finished up with his last spring soccer game this last weekend. It has been really fun to see how he has improved from fall soccer. He loves sports so much. That kid is constantly running, literally. He has so much energy, I wish I had some of his energy.
Casey loves teaching him different techniques and ball handling skills and Maxwell just eats it up. He could play sports all day everyday. He is such a natural athlete, just like his Daddy, he's good at everything!

Running through the tunnel after his game.

Got his game face on.

Waiting patiently for his turn to go in

I love this picture, we were constantly yelling "same team!"

So Sweet!

Yesterday while driving home from picking Maxwell up from school this was our conversation:

Maxwell - "Mom, are we going to go to Brian's baseball game today?"
Me - "Yes, in a couple of hours."
Maxwell - "Where is the game at?"
Me - "I don't know, you will have to ask Daddy when we get home."
Maxwell - (a little irritated) "How come Daddy knows everything?"

To bad he won't always feel that way:) Later that day while driving to a friends house I started telling Maxwell that he was going to be able to attend hero camp again this summer like he did last summer, our conversation went like this:

Maxwell - "Mom, what's a hero?"
Me - "A hero is someone you look up to and want to be like, Daddy could be your hero if you want to be like Daddy when you grow up."
Maxwell - "Or Jesus, if you want to be like him. He could be a hero."

It's moments like this that I need to remember when my children are having meltdowns and screaming like they are possessed.

Summer already?

Last week it was hot enough that we had to bust out the wadding pool. The children had a great time splashing and playing...... Summertime here we come!!!

Mother's Day and Kylynne's blessing

Mother's day was wonderful this year because we had the special bonus of blessing baby Kylynne on Sunday. She is such an angel baby and brings so much joy to our family. Casey gave a very sweet blessing and it was great to have so much love and support from his family. Although we missed my side of the family we felt lot's of love from them that day. Thanks to all of you who came and for all the yummy food you brought with you. We love you and appreciate all you do.

A week of firsts!!

Last Wednesday night while watching the Laker game with Daddy, Kylynne rolled over for the first time. She is getting so strong. Then on Sunday morning after breakfast I got her to laugh for the first time, it was the sweetest thing ever! She is growing so much and will be 3 months old tomorrow. She is the most pleasant baby ever. She is so content to just lay there and watch what's going on. She rarely cries and loves it when anyone talks to her. We are so glad she is in our family. We love little baya-bia Ky Ky... (as her older brother and sisters like to call her)

Our trip to Utah and Washington

So the last two weeks we spent up in Utah and Washington state visiting family. We went up to Utah to attend my girlfriends wedding. It was a wonderful day and so much fun catching up with old friends.
We then took a trip up to WA to visit my Maternal grandparents and were able to spend time with my aunt and uncle. The children loved talking to Great Grammy and Great Grandpa and loved playing with all their cool toys.
The Last 4 days we were there we were hoping to spend time seeing friends we haven't seen in awhile but instead we were all layed up with colds and the flu, Yuck!
So friends if we didn't get a chance to see you last week, you are in luck because we will be back in town the end of next month for my baby sisters wedding. So hopefully we will get to see those of you we missed:)
There are lots of pictures... I don't know how to download them right, they are all mixed up.
