Madison's Soccer Game

Last Saturday, Madi had her first soccer game of the season. Her team is called the Ladybugs. Her team lost, but she did an awesome job. I definitely think soccer is her sport! She absolutely loves it, and she's really good at it!

Luke's 1st day of Preschool

Today was Lukesters first day of Preschool! He was so excited to finally go and take his spiderman backpack. He loved it. (which I was grateful for, since a couple of months ago he wouldn't stay in nursery!) He looked so cute. It makes me sad to think my baby isn't a baby anymore:(


Lukey telling me,"I'm free (three) mama, I gonna go to precool (preschool)!"


My sweet boy! I wish he'd stay little forever:( I love this little guy!


Lukey and his cousin, Christian. Luke was so excited that Christian was going to be in his class with him. They looked so cute!

Kindergarten

Madi started Kindergarten today! She did such a good job and was so excited to go! I, on the other hand, was scared to death for her! I started worrying about anything and everything that could go wrong! She did great though! When I asked her how it was she said, "BOOORING!" Well, that wasn't quite the response I was expecting! LOL. I didn't think I'd have such a hard time with her going, but I was so stinkin nervous for her! There are a lot of her little friends from our ward in her class, so I think that helps a little bit!


My cute girl before school!

She had to wear her guitar outfit for the first day:)

Standing in line, waiting to start her big day!
I'm a little relieved, now that the first day is done! But, I still have lots of fears. I guess it's just the mother in me:)

I "heart" Daughtry!

Saturday night I went to the Daughtry concert! Can you say...hot, hot, hot! LOL. The concert was awesome!

He's even better lookin' in person:)


Chris singing to me...hehe!
Don't worry, I'm still madly in love with Mike!
I was going to post the picture of me, Kerri, and Tina, but I look quite disgusting so I opted not to:)

Gettin rid of clutter...

This is kind of a random post! Since moving in our house, I've come across many boxes of "should I keep this or not items" that I've kept over the years. My question to all of you is, "What is important to keep, and what do you toss?" For example, I have a ton of cards that Mike and I have given to each other, cards other people have given to us, etc. I have Christmas cards people have sent to us since we've been married (I usually only keep ones with pictures!) Is this normal or a waste of space?
I also have quite the problem with keeping everything Madi and Luke have made in nursery, preschool, etc.
Tell me what you keep and what you toss!

9th Anniversary Weekend!

This past weekend Mike and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. We started out by eating at Texas de Brazil....let me just say, "YUM!" The food was awesome! Then we went and saw "O" at the Bellagio. It is amazing what these people can do...kinda freakish if ya ask me! Some of them I thought for sure were animals instead of humans! It was an amazing show! Afterwards we stayed the night at the Bellagio. My mom watched the kids for us at our house. They upgraded our room to a strip/lake view for our anniversary, and sent us up a box of chocolates. I'll save you any extra details...hehe!

Our view from our room! This past 9 years has flown by!

I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful husband!

Girls Weekend & 4th of July

A couple of weekends ago, I was able to go on a girls weekend with some of my wonderful friends. We drove up to St. George on Friday, ate lunch, and shopped. We went to Tai Pan (loved that store), Downeast, and a few other stores. Then drove up to Pine Valley to Michelle's parents' cabin. Their cabin (house) was beautiful, and so was the weather:) We played a game, and talked till around 3am. (did I mention Nyquil???LOL) It was so much fun catching up with everyone...I have some awesome friends. We slept in the next morning...(well tried to huh, Callie?) We all got up and got dressed and were getting ready....when what do you know....I FAINTED! Yes, I said fainted. I'm contributing it to not eating breakfast that morning and the altitude! Either that or I'm a complete FREAK! LOL....and No Girls, I'm NOT pregnant:) So after I scared them half to death, fixed my makeup, and popped a couple of tylenol(according to them I went head first), we went back down to St. George, had some Pizza Factory, and headed back home. Thank you to all of our wonderful hubbys who let us get away...It was a blast!



Callie, Michelle, Holly, Me, and Mindy at Pizza Factory!
