Spring Soccer

Charity's first season of soccer - she was actually pretty good.
She was one of the only players that would
actually go on the field and play, so she played a lot.

Ammon was a little less flaky than last season and had fun on his team.

Easter 2009

Finally updating....

It has been so long since I have updated our blog, that I don't even know how to do it anymore. I had to call Seth to get the password even. I am not sending out any info in our Christmas cards this year, so I thought I better update this so that you could have a little peek into our year.

When Seth broke his leg, it turned our world upside down - or mine at least. All of the work landed on me, and I no longer had any free time. I eventually got my free time back, but never got back to the blog. So, here is our year in review

Caught wet handed

Yesterday I noticed Levi was wet. His sleeves were wet and his pants were wet. I asked the kids if they knew why he was wet and Sadie said he was playing in the toilet. I have never had a kid play in the toilet (though I am sure it is about my turn) and didn't really believe it coming from Sadie.

But today, he was caught in the act. The funny thing is that he even had the toilet brush in the toilet and was scrubbing away. I wish I had gotten a picture of my little helper!

Ice Skating

Last Wednesday we took the kids ice skating for the first time. We went with our good friends the Cupsas and we really had a great time. I was worried that the kids would hate it because I knew they would have a hard time learning, but they had fun and Ammon and Charity were getting much more confident by the end of the night. We took our camera, but of course we were too involved to take any pictures.

We did get this picture taken later that night though.


Notice the smaller bone (fibula). You may have to click on it to get a better view.

Apparently someone needs to teach Seth how to skate. I guess it'll be a while until we go again.

Just missed it

I just read about the new stimulus plan (as if it's going to work), and found out that first time home buyers in the year 2009 will receive an $8000 tax credit - that doesn't have to be repaid.

I guess we bought our house just a few months too early. grrrrrrrrr

Valentine's Day

I feel bad not commenting on Valentine's Day, so here goes, with no pictures to share.

Seth and I had a nice night on Friday night going to dinner and a stake dance (really, but for adults). Seth brought me flowers and candy - points for him. We haven't danced in years. Most of you know we met at a dance, so it is always so sweet for us to get to go dancing. There was someone there taking pictures, so maybe we will end up with a picture of the night someday.

Dinner was nice, but we are terrible at picking new restaurants. Anyone in the area - HELP. We tend not to go to chains with just the two of us, but we always seem to strike out when we pick on our own. The menu listed lemonade as "lemon aide." Aide is what this place really needed. Seth ended up tipping $1 - not typical for us. We were full by the time we were done, and we enjoyed our time alone, so it must not have been all bad. Thanks to Grandma for watching the kids.

After dancing we went to Target to get some Valentine's for the kids - I never even got Seth a card. It was somewhat of a long week for me. I never was feeling 100%.

Saturday we had a nice breakfast with the kids complete with heart biscuits. After breakfast we took the kids to the movie. We came home and made cookies for Grandpa, and ended the night with homemade individual heart shaped pizzas. Not too adventurous, I know, but I had been sick that week.
