Warrior Football

Football is here and in full swing. The Warrior's are playing like just that.... Warrior's! They have had an unbelievable season so far, I hope it continues this way all the way to the playoffs! I can't even explain how many hours a week Gavin along with all the other coaches put into this little team, but is sure has shown. They come to every game prepared and ready to play. Landon has played great! He loves to hit and has got plenty of "Mama" stickers to show for it! (Those are stickers for his helmet he receives if he has a hard hit in the game.)

Addie loves football too! I'm not sure if it is to watch her brother play, or to hang out with her friends... You know you have a good friend when they will share their pickle with you! :)

We have had lots of family support at the games. We took this picture of Great Grandpa Bowler with Landon. He hadn't been to a football game since probably the 60's! He liked it, and Landon was happy he was there!

Landon has made some lifelong friends on this Warrior team. Every Friday the team (meaning the boys)  plan "Warrior Fest." They basically ride their bikes from one house to the next, playing, eating and having a great time. It usually last until it's time to go to the Varsity Football Game and the party continues there! It will be a fun memory that I'm sure will last a lifetime.

Football is a sport that teaches a lot more than just hitting. It teaches to work as a team, trust your teammates, do your part and most of all discipline. I am so thankful Landon has had this opportunity. I know it is making him a better boy all around.

Good Luck Warriors!

Addie Started Preschool

It's finally time for my sweet little Addie to start Preschool! She has been asking when she gets to go to "her" school ever since we signed her up last January. Excited isn't even the word to describe for how thrilled she was to finally get to go! The day of her open house {Aug. 30th} she was all smiles! It was fun to go look at the classroom and see all the fun things she will learn.

Then the first day of Preschool finally came!! Oh boy, was she excited! I hope her excitement last through college! ;) Here is to a great year, Add's! I know you will learn lots!

Carlee 11 months

 {August 22, 2011}

All 4 top teeth came through at the same time. She looks a lot older now. She is a busy little thing. She is pulling herself up on to the couch and furniture. Her little red check are finally going away, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't come back! She is a joy!

Addie the Ballerina

Addie has started Ballet/Tap at Westside this year.  She is loving it! There is only one hangup and that is the tights. Every week she has a little meltdown as we are putting on her tights. She hates them to say the least they hurt her toes, then they are all bunchy, then her toes hurt again... It is a nightmare! But as soon as she has the tights on properly she is really excited. She loves her teachers, her friends and dancing with the ribbon. She loves tap class too. She is learning her left from her right foot and having fun while doing it. There aren't many things cuter than a group of 3 year olds learning how to dance. So much fun! :)

First Day of School

{August 15, 2011}

Summer flew by this year, but the boys were excited to get back to school. I can't believe I have a 3rd and 2nd grader! They both love their teacher's and have adjusted to the new routine. 3rd Grade for Landon meant a lot more homework than he has been used to... I am glad he gets to make good study habits at such a young age. He will be thankful later, I know it!  For Preston 2nd Grade so far has been great.  I have been so concerned about him, but I think this is his year. I know he is going to make great strides in both reading and math.

Here is to another great school year!

The Lake

 {August 6, 2011}

It is always a good time at the lake. I'm not much of a fisherman, but I do love hanging on the boat while drinking a cold Pepsi. Life doesn't get much better than that! The boys love to fish and this year Addie loved swimming with her cousins.

We also went cliff jumping this time. I loved it. Landon and Preston turned into little jumping beans!

Good Times at the Lake!

The Wolfpack

The Wolfpack (a new St. George club team) asked Landon to play with them in the Color Country Classic baseball tournament. This was his last 8U (8 and under) tournament. I guess he is growing up, even in baseball. Dang it... ;) It was a Friday Saturday tournament and we thought about staying over, since the last game on Friday got over at 8ish and then he had to be back in Cedar by 7:00 am for his 8:00 am game the next morning, but we didn't. Gavin and my Dad just went up early Saturday morning and Mom and I (with the kids) came later. The crazy thing was Gavin and Landon had to go back to St. George after the second game to weigh in for football. While they did that we hung out in Cedar and had a little Costa Vida (Yum!) and the best shaved ice this side of the Virgin River! :) We made it to the championship game so Gavin and Landon drove back to Cedar just in time for it to down pour! We waited around and the rain stopped. They ended up playing the Championship game it just got over late that night. Talk about a crazy Saturday... which made getting up for 9:00 o'clock church Sunday even harder! We did make it though, maybe (or maybe not) a little late! :) Typical, we're never late for a sporting event, but to church, now that's a different story.
