~First Blog Communication Error~

It was reported last night at an undisclosed location that Grandpa and Carley did not receive the recognition they deserved in the first annual Birthday Golf Tournament. Let me give them a little toot.... CONGRATULATIONS Pap and Carley for beating the pants off of Eric & Conner (Team Divits) and also beating Scott & Harry (Team Par) We look forward to seeing all the participants next year maybe even some wives.... Also the winners check is in the mail...... :)

~Bend it Like Harrison~

Soccer practice at CCV.......The coaches are teaching the boys not to use their hands when playing soccer. ...Needless to say the boys kept forgetting and they had to run the length of their field about 15 times......The funny part at the end of the practice is when Coach Allerd asked the boys what team name they wanted, the boys shouted: "Tigers" "Scorpions" "Groundhogs" and this one little boy says how about the "hot mama's" well we are the "Gladiators" ......"Are you not entertained"

Harry shoots but did he score?
Run..Run...as fast as you can....
"First one to find Avery gets to KISS Carley"
WHO SAID THAT?

~Two Peas in A Pod~

Having twins has been an experience I will never forget. I thank god for blessing us with this unique love and bond that two children share! My twins have always had their own unique personalities. Maddy has always been so maternal with Harry, but he lets her know he only has one MOM! I am so grateful that god gave us a son, he is so incredible and loving , I love when he tells me about his day or just wants to snuggle. Maddy is totally independent and strong willed, it must have come from being in the womb and having to fight for everything! She has the biggest heart and is so loyal! Lately, these two have been cracking us up. Harrison for some reason has found a little devil streak and has been getting into some trouble at school, first he took about 8 crayons and decided to break them in half and then throw them under another students desk. Now today he went into the bathroom in the Cafeteria and decided to SCREAM with his friends Riley and Gino. Needless to say Harrison has been gettin caught..Consequences...Consequences... Madison comes home with an 85% on a test and has a huge melt down and crys crocodile tears for 20 minutes, she is our over achiever. She also is so regimented it drives me CRAZY... she definitely gets that from Scott, whoever knows me, knows ORGANIZATION is not my strong point. Lately she has to know what is going on hour to hour and minute to minute...UGH....

~Our Song~

Mason and McCall thanks for an awesome time! I am so glad we were able to hang out, I miss seeing you at CHEER! You both ROCK and are SO much fun to hang with......Remember....

"Our song is the slamming screen door,Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When you're on the phone and you talk real slow Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laughThe first date "man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have"And when I got home ... before I said amen Asking God if he could play it again"

~Once a Daisie, now a Brownie~

Madison had here Brownie Bridging Ceremony at Neena's House! All the girls were so excited to move onto Brownies! Also they are stoked they can sell COOKIES this year.... All the same girls moved up and Madison is so excited for all their new adventures. We have a Scavenger hunt coming up and Encampment in November....Maddy we are so proud of you!

My little Ava........

My little Angel sure has been a TROOPER! Last born and was able to spend every waking moment with MOMMY. Now at 2 years, 5 months she is part of the Daycare Extravaganza, since Mom is now back in the workforce! She LOVES, LOVES,LOVES her school. Her favorite thing is to eat breakfast with some random children in the morning. She blames everything on this little girl name Aubrey. We can only laugh at dinner when she tells us about her day. Avery has a POSSE already Aubrey, Emma, and Kiley. We hear about these little girls every day. It is a good thing we are a loud family because Avery does not miss a beat on Communicating her trials and tribulations at school. She loves the playground and she loves telling other kids to stop wearing pull-ups and go on the potty. This picture is an example of how tuckered out she gets after her day at school. this is 5:30pm........

~Cutie Patooties~or they would say.... Fashion Divas!

Madison's friend Gwen went home to Texas for the school year. These two had alot of fun this Summer. Thanks Eric & Karen for introducing the two of them! Gwenny can't wait to see you again. Call, Write or email...... We will send you these pics soon!

~CCV Soccer~ The journey has just begun......

Last night Harrison started Soccer at CCV. That was one crazy area up there at the fields. The coach was great! It seemed a little intense but Harrison got right into the mix and absolutely LOVED it! He liked the conditioning, and loved juking his teammates when he went to score! It looks like they are going to have a real competitive team. The kids were really nice and inviting, some have played together for a while. The parents all seemed really friendly and introduced themselves to Scott and I..........We were all joking about getting stickers that said Hello my name is....just to remember all the adult names.......:~)

HaPpY BiRtHdAy DaD.....GrAnDpA........

~My Parents Beautiful Home~

Here is my Parents home up in Pinetop! They have a beautiful home on the 9th Fairway on the Golf Course. My parents have built and created such a great getaway for the family. The interior is just as nice as the exterior. All the grandkids love to go up there and play and relax. The adults love it too for a little peace and quiet! It is so beautiful up there, all the trees, all the stars at night and the cool weather is the best.

~Unconditional Love~

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Scott and I talk all the time about how lucky we are to have 4 amazing kids. We had a great weekend and will be sharing our getaway soon. Our kids continue to amaze us everyday with their love, compassion, and thoughtfulness! We love you guys SO much.
