Soccer Spirit

We've got spirit. Yes, we do! We've got spirit....how 'bout you?

Alec and Micah have started playing soccer for school. They have played two games and have had a blast. They are playing pretty good considering they only had two practices. They will be practicing and participating in games all month long. Check out a few of these pictures.

The last game was against a team of friends of Alec and Micah. "Go Alec!" "Go Oli!"

"Go Micah!" "Go Nephi!"

Happy Birthday Skyler

Skyler is a brand new four year old! Skyler's day started out with our traditional Birthday Breakfast in Bed. My boys love having breakfast in bed and so it makes for a special treat when they get to have breakfast in bed. Micah even made sure there were flowers on the tray!

The whole family took Skyler out to the movies. We saw "Puss in Boots". Pretty good movie but if you ask Skyler he was most excited about getting popcorn and candy at the movies. ;) Skyler had fun playing with all the gifts he got from his family.

Skyler even got a cake all to himself.

Make a wish!

I guess I forgot to give him a fork. Not to worry though, Skyler is a problem solver!

Happy Birthday Skyler!

Creepy Creatures Cupcakes

It was a wet and rainy Halloween. Trick-or-Treating is not a big thing here in American Samoa so it wasn't hard to decide not to go out on this soggy night. We did have fun though. Grammy had sent us this great kit to make cupcake creatures.

We each got to make two cupcakes. The boys were very successful in making their cupcake creatures creepy.

Everyone had fun making them except Riley who viewed all the excitement from under the table. Poor Riley Owen.

The best part of it all was eating those Creepy Creature Cupcakes. YUM!

We hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Happy Halloween

It's not Halloween yet but my kids have already celebrated. They spooked everyone at the Ward Halloween Carnival last Tuesday and partied with their classes Friday. Check out these haunted pictures. Introducing.... Alec as The Shadow:

Micah as The Phantom:

Brady as a Clone Trooper:

Skyler as a Haunted Skeleton:

Jason as a Cowboy with his Cow Riley Owen:

MOO!

For the Ward party I painted Skyler and Brady's face. Skyler was so thrilled to be "Scary". Thanks for the face paint Grammy!

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

School Boys

Just got the boys school pictures for this school year 2011-2012. This year the school went with Brenda's Photo Shop. Check them out.

I asked Skyler where was his smile and he said, "Mom, I smiled like this..." and he showed me the same hidden smile as in the picture. I guess he was trying to pose with feeling. ;)

Pouring Rain

It's raining. It's pouring. Brady is exploring. Splish and splashing all around. He's getting soaked and dirty.

Come Skyler, It's pouring. So much fun just running. In and out of puddles too. We're wet but really smiling.

Come look here. Come see here. It's really coming down here. We've found a spot that we can stop, And really swim around here.

Mmm Mmm Mango

It's that time of year again. Mango season. This season we are getting some sweet mangos! We all enjoy these mangos and Riley has decided he likes them too. Check him out going to town on a mango seed.

That was Mmm Mmm good!
