Cousins!

I just got home from a short trip to Utah.

While there we were treated to the most yummy dinner ever! Carla & Mark are great hosts.

We celebrated Andrew's (Julie- my niece) birthday and Julie's (Carla's daughter) birthday! This was the first time I was able to meet Julie (& her husband and kids)!! They are awesome. Her adorable daughter McKenna gave us each a hug and kiss when we left--- she scored big points with us :)

Thank you Mark & Carla for a great time!

Cousins: Julie, Marissa, & Kevin

Add Jameson to the group!

Can you tell he works at a ski resort?? Sweet raccoon look... very popular this time of year ;)

Taking the cat for a walk!!

american idol wagdog style

We are big American Idol fans.... especially in the beginning. We were definitely amazed when we figured out that Andrea could sing just like one of the contestants... a contestant who got a gold ticket to Hollywood!!

Maybe we'll have to take her to try-outs when she's old enough ;)

G-Hawk Soccer

Riley has spent the last few months playing soccer on the JV soccer team. It has been a season of ups and downs. He has one more game to go before the season ends and he moves on to swimming. Thursday's game was a good one... we won 2-0!!

Here's our favorite player... #16.

A good number indeed. Anyone remember Joe Montana?? Yes, #16 as well. This number has served Riley well. As a freshman he started the season with small amounts of playing time. But still as a freshman, he ended the season starting every game and usually playing the whole game! He learned a lot and definitely grew as a soccer player. We are very proud of him :)
