Sometimes I wish this were actually possible.... sorta.
I hate it when you're trying to get online somewhere & everything is firewalled.

Birthday Bonanza!

Today was Olivia's party, we combined it with their friend, Eliza, who turned 4 today.

The kids had a blast, it was a princess party themed after the park scene in Enchanted... we had a cotton candy machine, BBQ hot dogs, ice cream cones, face painting, the works.

I am so proud of her cake (thanks Aleisha), I think it turned out awesome!!!! Eliza wanted a dragon one so the castle/ dragon thing worked great.
Yum... mommy's frosting.

Princess Brynnah.

Daddy-o & Livvy.

(awesome Dad who took Olivia to the E.R. at 2 a.m. this morning for her ear infection)

The weather turned out to be so nice, we stayed in the backyard the whole time.

Dragon/ castle cake-ness.

Kaitlyn & her cotton candy.... good stuff.

ohmygosh! Another Barbie, a fairy Barbie!!!!

Trevor whacking away at the pinata.

Eliza, the older Brithday girl/ butterfly princess.

...just swingin' with Ryan.

She begged me for a princess crown for her Brithday all day yesterday.... good thing her buddy Kaitlyn had her covered.

Happy Birthday Livvy!

Three years ago today our little Miss Olivia was born. At 9:30 a.m. she tipped the scales at a whopping 6 lbs 7 oz & was 19" long. She had auburn hair which (of course) fell out & is now totally blonde. Looking back I can't believe how fast the time has flown by.

Here's some pictures to walk you through our memories of that day.

Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Paintball

It's that time of year again.... every saturday morning Rick will get up at 6 a.m. to go play paintball up in the hills for hours. He plays with a group of guys from our Ward & the area & they have such a blast.

What you can do with your GI Joe action figures:

I got this picture in an e-mail.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are....

Just for fun

Freak yeah baby!

C'mon...

you know you want to click on it & give it a try.

(thanks for the link Kristen, you rock)

Color time, sorta

So I guess Mom shouldn't be allowed to play with the (washable) markers with Olivia anymore.... I wanted to add purple too but Rick said no.

Game Day

Game day at last for the Green Tigers!

The weatherman forecasted 50 degrees, but he forgot to mention that with the windchill factor it'd be a blistering 35 degrees.

Not exactly prime weather for a U-5 soccer game but they had a blast.

Seriously, if you're ever bored & driving by one of these just stop & watch... I dare you not to laugh.

I just love this action shot, he was right in the middle of the play.

making a run for the goal...

This was the only time that he just picked it up & ran for it.

Lining up for kick off.

He was so into it, I love it!

Oliva just wanted to play, once she figured out she couldn't she didn't really care much about the game anymore.

He had so much fun, as soon as we got back in the car he was asking to play again.

Trevor's 1st soccer practice

So last night was Trevor's first soccer practice, he was so excited.

We were able to request that he & a bunch of our friend's kids be on the same team, this is going to be such a blast!

Just look at that intense concentration....

Trevor's ball would be the one zipping to the goal from way back there.... so proud!

Trevor, Ryan, & Kaitlyn getting their jerseys.

He wanted to put his jersey on right away... first game is tomorrow!
