We've had alot of fun so far this summer!

Soccer

Spring is here so that means SOCCER!

The kids were really excited to start again this year. Khloe's team has played two games and haven't won yet, she's getting closer to scoring a goal though!
Khloe is #6

Last fall Gage would run circles around all the players that were going after the ball. His first game was on Saturday and he actually kicked the ball a couple of times! He was really proud of himself! I was too!!

His team just scored a goal

This typically sums up how Gage plays.

The ball is behind him and he's running somewhere else

Khloe's 7th birthday

The Bubs turned 7 on the 2nd of April. Really I can't believe I have a 7 year old in first grade!

I thought because she had a big party with all her friends last year that we could pick and friend and go watch a movie. Well the movie she wanted to see wasn't in the theaters anymore but it did come out on dvd. So I though it would be a great idea to have some of her friends come over after school on Friday to watch Tangled. BIG MISTAKE! It was so nice out they didn't want to watch the movie. Oh well they are just little girls so what are you going to do. We made pizzas and I had them frost and decorate cookies. My brilliant husband had to work til 10pm so his awesome brother helped me. Thanks Jon for helping me keep my sanity! The next day we had a family party with BBQ ribs, cake and ice cream (heaven on earth in my opinion)

A new house guest!

Brett's brother Jon asked us if he could stay with us for a little bit until he got back on his feet. Because we are so nice and love family we, of course, said YES! We we Sheetrock the addition ceiling and put in insulation and moved Jon in there!!! The only bad thing for Jon is we didn't move the exercise stuff out so when Brett gets up at 5am to workout Jon works out with him. Which is good, Brett needs a spotter. Another good thing about Jon moving in, he's a REALLY hard worker and all the little projects that aren't finished or Brett needs help with I don't have to do!!! Thanks JON!!!
We were hoping the gas insert in the corner worked but alas in the mayhem of remodeling the gas line was cut and doesn't work. We need our awesome plumber to come hook it back up!

Some spring pictures

Its been so nice the last couple of days. I'm really glad the kids got to get out of the house (and my hair) and go play out side!Jetty just relaxing on the grass

There are other things that are new and exciting but I have to wait to take pictures when the boys are done!

Arizona!

Brett, his dad and two brothers decided to take a boys trip to AZ to watch some spring training games! They all had a blast. (I was hoping they would get a little sunburned because it was nice and warm there and a little chilly here)

Since this was Brett's little vacation I don't really know what else they did. Well he told me when he got home but I don't remember details. All I know was that he had fun and him and his brothers got yelled at by some old lady for not having their shirts on when they walked back from the pool. (they stayed at Brett's uncle's house and I guess they have alot of crazy rules!)
