~ADDICTED~

Okay so I am coming out! I am addicted to Facebook. My blog has fell by the waist side but will be updated this week on Spring Break. FB has been so much fun reconnecting with High School Friends, Co-workers (even from the 90's), Friends I did activities with, couples we use to hang with, mothers from mothers groups...and more.. Talking on FB, meeting up with some and talking over the phone has been just incredible! What an awesome way to re-connect....So many interesting things I have found out and learned...Kids seem to be the biggest topic besides where everyone is residing now and what people do for a living! :)

I LOVE FACEBOOK!

~The Gladiators Rock the Field~

Yesterday Scott filled in for the Coach at CCV Soccer. The boys won 12 to nothing. Scott only had 7 kiddo's and it ended up that every kid scored yesterday! Harrison had two goals....Way to go!!!

Blocking a kick!
Hustle...Hustle....

Carson and Harrison had five of those goals!

~A Heart of Gold~

So yesterday at Maddy's softball game she got to pitch! Normally she plays outfield or 2nd base. HOWEVER yesterday she decided she wanted to pitch. Cherie her coach lets all the girls try but after the first inning the coach pitches anyway. Well Madison threw 2 strikes and walked all the rest until the other team got so many runs and we switched. I just love this girl, she stood out on the pitching circle the WHOLE time with the BIGGEST smile and was just so excited to pitch strikes/walks whatever...SHE was just so proud to be pitching! We all need her heart of gold she is PRICELESS!

The cute thing was she pitched windmill then under hand

she was definitely changing it up!
After pitching she was a sport and wanted
to catch!

~The Angel has ARRIVED~

On February 18th Kyla Emily Richardson made her way into the world! She was 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Our whole family is SO excited about this beautiful Angel who has come down to touch our lives. My sister is doing great! Now she and her husband are getting ready to experience PARENTHOOD, and you know what they say "Toughest job you'll ever love"

Before her first bath!
RELAXING!

~Skid Row Update~

Just an update as you can see the road rash on Avery's face is clearing up very nicely...We continue to apply Neosporin which she gets mad about but I do not want my little beauty scarred for life....I love that girl so much...Swak!

My little hammy!

~My Valentines minus Two~

Avery and Dad got out early on Friday the 13th. However, the other three were dressed in their V-day attire and ready to go to school for the festivities! They all came home with lovely valentines from their friends and teachers...Even Miss Avery had a bag which she thought was the neatest thing since sliced bread! On February 14th we had an AWESOME family V-day with movies, games, church and dinner! We even played some football and softball in the greenbelt!

SWAK!
My happy little trio!

~Charlie Hustle Award~

WOW for recognition of Harrison's valuable contributions to the team and the exuberant amount of hard work and hustle he displayed in practice and in the game, he got the Charlie Hustle award this week......Way to go Harrison.... You rock buddy!

Only one game left and then the tournament...

~Par-Tay~

Madison oh Madison! First she wanted a swim party, then she wanted a Sweet & Sassy Party, then she wanted a swim party again (in the summer time) HOWEVER, she decided that a Skating Party was what she wanted for her Birthday which was in November. SO we had 17 girls at Rollerplex last week and I would say only 9 could skate. It was quite the Adventure. It was really FUN to have all the parents there skating and rockin out to the tunes...Maddy has an AWESOME group of friends...She had such a great time with her girlfriends.....Thanks Everyone....... :)

~Skid Row~

Poor baby Ava...she experienced her first bit of road rash on her scooter! WOW she is almost three years old in a couple of weeks and has never had any BIG accidents or anything....Yes I know you all are wondering, and she is healing very nicely...It is actually all gone but a little pink mark on her right cheek....She LOVES to run with the BIG DOGS (harry,maddy,carley) Who would of thought a three wheel scooter and a mighty almost three year old could do that !

Awwww.....
Mama lovin her baby!

She actually fell asleep from the trauma!

Father/Daughter Dance 2009
