Enjoyable weekend

We were able to have a very nice, enjoyable weekend as a family.  On Friday evening we enjoyed watching "Puss in Boots".  The kids liked it so much I think Sariah has now watched it 7 times.  On Saturday morning we headed down to the Soccer fields for the last game of the Season.  It was very intense, but the team was able to win with the final score 1-0.  Timothy played some of the best defense I have ever seen him do.  We then had the end of year party, and of course the annual parents vs. Kids game.  This has been a very relaxing and enjoyable Sunday.  We are all looking forward to this week.  

Family fun with friends!

We were able to go down to San Diego on Thursday night and all day Friday to meet some college friends.  We all had so much fun we didn't want the day to end.  We went to the Mormon Battalion visitor center, the park and of course the beach.  We also had to stop and have lunch at In-N-Out.  Here are some pictures from the day.

Busy!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything.  I have been extremely busy.  It is a challenge having such a span in age between my kids.  The soccer season for park and recreation is nearly ending and then the High School season will begin.  The kids didn't want to do anything for Halloween, so I just took them to the community center for games.  I have been busy volunteering for the Navy Marine Corp Relief Society.  I spent all of last week in training.  I am looking forward to serving our service men and women.  The kids continue to do well in school. Timothy is constantly checking his grades to make sure his A's don't become A- or B pluses.  He makes me laugh, how much he is like his dad.  He is working hard to get his tenderfoot and 1st class in scouts.  He is also almost done getting his service learning hours for the Jr docent program.  His piano is also coming along.  Sam is Sam, I love how good he has become in soccer this year.  He is also doing awesome in school.  Last of all, Sariah is so adorable going to school.  She loves it and loves riding the bus.    I have been feeling sick most of the week and am starting to be on the mend.  Nathan of course is busy, busy what else can I expect.  His responsibilities at school, church and the community keep him young, at least that's what he says.
