FRIENDS!!

We are so lucky to have friends just right down the street!! We have known the Lundwalls since the good old days of Daisyfield drive in Draper, and all of our kids are the same age and the best of friends. Many of the days are spent with the older kids playing all day with each other, flip- flopping between houses, and Noah and Elsa are learning that they are getting left behind and are wanting in on the playing fun!! Noah says " I go to! wait for me!!" These pictures were taken on one of the last days before school started at Thanksgiving Point Gardens!!

SOCCER TIME!!

Which way is the goal??????? THAT A WAY!!!

Pre game stretching, Hadlee seemed to take this very seriously!!

.............Umm.....need I say more......

Among everything else, the girls started their first ever season of soccer!! They are both having fun! Allie is on the 2nd grade team and Hadlee is on the Kindergarten/1st team. Both teams are full of kids from our neighborhood, so that makes it fun for everyone! Allie is more of a social soccer player, ie picture above, and Hadlee truly LOVES to play, ie pictures above again, and is pretty darn good!! Her first game she almost scored 7 times, missed it by an inch!! ( I'm really not trying to brag she really did!) In the end she did score a goal, and was very happy with that. Her coach is recruiting her to be on his flag football team he is coaching in the fall!! She does the count down from every practice to every game, it seems she inherited my patience!! We'll both have to work on it together!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

Well school is in full swing, and all 3 of our kids are having a great time!! Allie started 2nd grade on Aug 18, she is getting so old and is such a good little girl and is really excited to be in the 2nd grade!! Noah started the next day, he is going across the street on tues and thurs, our GREAT neighbor does preschool (she is awesome I might add!!) and Noah thinks it's pretty fun!! He is always saying "Tecia's house, Tecia's house!" Our Hadlee was the last to start and her patience was REALLY put to the test!! The day finally came today and boy was she ever EXCITED! She goes in the afternoon, and it was PURE torture for her to wait after we sent Allie on her way in the morning! She had a great day and did a great job riding on the bus for the first time on the way home!! Hadlee has been waiting for Kindergarten since she finished preschool last May!! Well, it seems weird to have the kids back in school already, the summer really flew by!! Our schedule will be CRAZY and I feel like a true "soccer mom". with all 3 going in different directions, carpooling and going to the bus 3 times a day, not to mention soccer practic and games!! WOW life is good!!

Swimming Fun!!

Our little fishies!!

Noah LOVES the Pool!!!

And I love that Suit!!

LOOK!! My boy can walk on water!!

So we have spent A LOT of time at our neighborhood pool this summer!!! GOOD, CHEAP, FUN!! The girls have really improved their swimming skills, and our little Noah has really suprised us, the first of the summer it took him litterally 2 hours to get 1 foot in the water, and look at him now!! He is amazing!! We have all had a GREAT summer at the pool!!
