Fancy Water Bottle

Most mornings I fill up the kids water bottles and put them in their backpacks with their lunch, but there are some days when that just doesn't happen and we rush out the door, sometimes the kids fill their own.
When the kids get home I go through their backpacks and we start homework with a snack.
Today I find this in Brielle's backpack....

Yep, that is right...
A Flask sat at my daughters desk all day!

TJ and I had matching ones on our wedding day, we needed a little pick me up dealing with the hundreds of people we didn't know :) I can't get rid of them they remind us of a fun memory. They sit in the back of our cupboard, I guess Brielle couldn't find her water bottle and decided this would make a great one, after all no one would have one like it lol. Luckily the kids have no clue what its really meant for and surprisingly I haven't had a call from her teacher!

*Note to self, check backpacks while loading the car :)

UTAH vs byu

One of my favorite traditions, fall football and the Holy War!!! Hunter told his friends at school he's been going his whole life to the Utah vs Byu Game :)

Since the game was in September TJ was able to get off work and come too, we dropped off Sophie and Callaway at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Ken's house and headed up to Happy Valley! TJ was a little excited and got a speeding ticket on the way up, we joked the Cop was a BYU fan lol. We know he wasn't going that fast and their was a ton of other cars going faster, we just happened to have a big U on our Jeep :)

My parents got hotel rooms a few blocks from the stadium and it was so nice not having to drive home in crazy traffic after the game, thanks Mom and Dad! Plus my Mom decorated it with Red and White Ute stuff we were in the mood to cheer on our team, GO UTES!




Gotta look tough




The game was THE BEST GAME ever, seriously so much fun! The best part was singing "hey, hey, hey, good-bye" half way through the 3rd quarter as all the BYU fans left the stadium, final score 54-10 :)

Rodeo

Family night at the Rodeo, nothin' better than cowboyin' up and havin' a good time!

This year all of TJs family went and the kids had such a great time.



Callaway is a tornado and did not want to sit still, gotta love this stage! Good thing he is so handsome :)

Tiny Dancers

Sophie took her very first dance class and LOVED it!! She was so funny to watch and did better than I thought she would. She was so excited to be like her big Sister and go to dance with her dance bag!

I took her to get new ballet and tap shoes since she was in-between Brielle's old shoes (dang it) she tried on the tap shoes and the lady asked her to stand up, she stood up and started kick-ball-chaining lol it was hilarious. The lady said she doesn't need dance lessons she already knows how!






Halle, her cousin, is also in the same class, it was so cute watching them together! So glad they have each other to do all these fun girly things with it makes it that much more fun!




Miss Brielle started her 4th year, she is a natural!


These two girls are so funny, so proud of you girls you make my heart smile!






I am running around crazy trying to get all the kids ready to go and silly Sophie is always making me stop and laugh

Soccer Season has started!

Hunter and Brielle played their first game of the season, they were at the same time this week and next so TJ coached Hunters and will coach Brielles next week. I was busy keeping time, video taping, and trying to watch both of them to get any pictures so I will try next week! Luckily they play next to each other on the field setup so we don't have to walk far

Hunter was awesome, I saw 1 of his 2 goals and was really impressed with how he has improved with staying with the ball and passing. His team was incredible like 15-1 GO STRIKERS!!!

Brielle was a spitfire! She was so aggressive and scored 4 goals. She really goes after the ball and won't give it up! Her team also did really well they won I think the score was 12-0 GO NEON FROGS!!

We are so excited for the rest of the season!! I was also complimented on my great organizations skills by some of the Moms :) I laughed but when we are coaching 3 teams I have to be overly organized.

Arizona

Hunter and Brielle has so much fun visiting my Sister in Kingman, AZ with my parents over Labor Day weekend. While telling me all about their adventures it reminded of me when I was little and all our family trips. I am so thankful for my parents, they always take time and make special memories with us, the kids will never forget the armpit of America :)
They arrived and stopped by Ashley's work :) they love her so much!
