Career Day

The other day at school, my kids had career day. So we loaded up in the car and headed to the DI to find scrubs. Shane has told Shayna that she is going to be a doctor when she grows up so she can take care of us. Well we found some scrub tops at the DI and we were making name tags. Shayna and Bryce told their dad that they both were going to be veterinarian's. He was disappointed and still told Shayna that she was going to be a doctor and Bryce is going to be a linebacker or a UFC fighter. He is headed that way, he is 81 lbs. and still in kindergarten. He really doesn't care as long and they love what they are doing. The kids had a great time at school that week and learning about all the different career's. BTW I am not sure how many vet's have Star Wars or HSM lunch boxes.:)

The Prophet said to plant a garden so that's what we will try to do...

Shane and Shayna have been hard at work plating a garden. Shayna is doing such a great job checking on it, she has become quite the little gardner. Byrce loves it because of the tomatoes. It's been a wonderful thing for our family to do together, however I just don't like the bugs.

It's been a long time......

So I know that it's been a long time since I blogged, I am going to blame it on Facebook. I not sure of any other reasons, but I do have lots to blog about. So check back often to see what we are up to or have been doing!

I am going to be a bragadosa...

Last spring Shayna was in a soccer tournment. Here are some of the great pictures that were taken. There team ended up going updefeated in the tournment and also Shayna was never scored on. We had a great time!

 

Our Christmas...

Every year we go to Tooele, Utah for Christmas. That is were my family lives. This year we left Las Vegas on Christmas Eve. We arrived in Tooele at about 8pm. We were famished. We stopped at my Grandma and Grandpa's for some dinner and visiting. Then we were off to my Mom's home where there was a houseful. 4 kids, 8 adults, and 2 grandmas. Once we got the kiddos to bed, we (the older kids) stayed up and rocked out to Rock Band. It was fun!! Then it was to be to await the big visit. We were all together to opend presents and eat a fabulous breakfast that my Mom works so hard on. We spent 2 days in jammies, playing Gutair Hero and Rock Band. Thank goodness we had 2 wii, so the adults could play on one and then the kiddos could play on the other. On Christmas night it started snowing and snowing and snowing. My kids were so excited to go sledding the next day. It was such a great Christmas and the kids, I mean adults, were so excited to get tickets to Disneyland.

Rugrat Tournment 2008

Shayna has been playing soccer for over 3 years. She is the team goalie. This last season we played in the co-ed under 8 division and they definatley held their own aganist the boys. Then we went to the Rugrat tournament this year we played in the under 9 girls division. This particular weekend was the same weekend that I hurt my back, Shayna got baptized, and I had 15 family members staying at my home. Shayna and her team played very well. They played a game on Sunday morning and it was very exciting! The game was tied and we had to go to penalty kicks. Now, our team has never done that nor have they practiced it. We were all holding our breath!! Our girls scored all 4 of their kicks and Shayna blocked 2 of the 4 kicks, so their was no reason to kick a 5th kick. We ended up winning the game 6 to 4. We ended the tournament 4-0, and received 1st place. It was SO exciting, and I was so nervous. I think that it is much harder for a parent to watch their child to play than to actually play themselves. We devote a lot of time and effort to soccer and after that game it made it all worth it. Oh, and accoring to her coach she is the best U-9 girls goalie in the state! Such a huge compilament for Shayna!
