Soccer Starts

Tonight was the first soccer practice for this year. Kyle and Nathan are playing Torro's and will have licensed coaches. Dan is excited about that. The boys had fun. 

They were working on ball control and kneeing and heading the ball. Nathan was so cute and working so hard.

Stretching...
Kyle's ball control
Dan and Kyle have the exact same soccer cleats this year (different sizes of course). Kyle thinks that is SO cool, so do I!!



I just posted a bunch... keep scrolling down.

When Daddy's in Charge

My mom and I were giving the puppies haircuts and Dan was 'supervising' Dallin and Nathan painting. I think we're still waiting on this one to dry!



Meet Maxter

This is our new puppy Maxter, a maltese. He's a smart little puppy and we love him so much.

Hit the brakes!

We were going on a walk last week and Nathan decided to ride his bike. We noticed that he was dragging his feet to stop. Dan and I were blown away that he didn't know how to use his brakes. He has been biking for 3 years now. So I was showing him how to use the brakes and of course the paparazzi had to snap a picture.

Dallin in Action

Dallin taking a whiz in the backyard before heading out for a walk.

Playing in the park


Dinner and a present

We went out to dinner with some friends and Nathan got a late birthday present. He got a huge box of art supplies. He has been in Nathan heaven creating all kinds of projects with his new supplies. 

This is one of our friends son. He read Kyle's Star Wars book throughout dinner. Kyle can't wait to hang out with him again. Kyle said, "wow, he's a cool teenager mom!" 
Dallin chatting with friends.
They cook your food right in front of you. The big fire scared Dallin at first and then he couldn't get enough.
Dallin loved the fish in the lobby. He went missing during dinner and we finally found him visiting the fish at the other end of the restaurant. 

Baby Melonie

Dan did another baby photo shoot. This time it was a newborn less than 1 week old. Very sweet.

Snow Day #2

Frosty...

Nathan rolled the base all by himself. It was pretty impressive.
Building Frosty...
What a cutie!

Snow Day #1

The fat lady must be singing somewhere because we got snow today!

Dallin is a smart guy. He played in the snow with his beach toys and made 'snow castles.' His hands stayed warmer much longer this way. 

Snow was blowing in his face...
It had just started to snow and Kyle and Nathan didn't waste any time jumping right in. Dan told them to get a black piece of paper to see the snowflakes better. Guess they couldn't resist having a taste.

Red Devil

Dan use to give red devils to my little brothers when he was on his mission. Now our boys have the privilege of experiencing them. Dallin, just LOVES them. He asked for one and then just kicked back and enjoyed it. Kyle and Nathan were laughing so hard!


A West Weekend

This is what Dan and I woke up to Sunday morning. Nathan poured Dallins cereal and Dallin helped himself to a straw for easier access to the sweet milk. We had a good laugh as he slurped up every last drop.
Kyle and Nathan playing with Maggie and Baxter.
I usually don't make the kids wear ties to church but Dallin saw Dan's and requested one.
Dallin's first official walk without his stroller. I leashed him up though, he loved it.
He always drags a stick on walks... stroller or no stroller.

The Wheels go Round and Round...

We take lots of walks around the neighborhood. Now the boys always want to ride something instead of plain ol' boring walking. There's biking, skateboarding, heely's, or the scooter. Dallin, on the other hand, wants to ditch his wheels and walk now. I'll post those next...
