Pizza




What Your Pizza Reveals



Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either.



You consider pizza to be bread... very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US.



You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods.



You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices.



You are carefree and friendly. You should consider traveling to Hawaii.



The stereotype that best fits you is hippie. You knew it was coming.

Jake's soccer game

Jake is such a good little soccer player.  He is so focused.  His facial expressions were hysterical.
He didn't stop running the whole game.  Jake gives everything he does 110%.  I love it!  He was so proud of himself that he made a goal.  When he played in the 4-5 yr old league he would make 9 or 10 each game.  So it is good that he plays kids a little older.  Keeps him humble.
He loves playing on the same team as his friends Dillon, Kreed, Harley, and Hailey.  They are all really good players.  They had a blast and they won there first game.

Brooks first soccer game!

Brooks was so excited for his first soccer game. The other team didn't show so they just played each other.  He is so much fun to watch.
He played really well.  He made several goals.  He is really getting the whole concept.  He told me afterwards that his coach didn't know how good he was. Huh mom!  What a cutie!
In the beginning he would kick the ball and then look at us to make sure we saw him.  We were laughing so hard.  It was fun to watch.  He is going to be a great soccer player.

Haircut

I finally did it!  I cut my hair.  This is my hair before.  So boring.  I think I might fall asleep looking at it.
I cut 10 inches off the back.  I am loving it!  
I thought Ryan would freak when he came home, but he didn't.  He actually like it.   He said I should take another 2 inches off.  Who knew! Thanks Jenny!

Track & Field








Jake has really been into running lately. This brings me such joy. I have always wanted my kids to love to run as much as I do. I loved running track. So last night I was out talking to Tanya and when I came home Ryan told me Jake had run a mile on the treadmill in under 10 minutes. I was thrilled. Of course Jake wanted to run downstairs and run another mile. So this morning when I was on the treadmill Jake was chomping at the bit waiting for his turn. So again he runs a mile. I made him get off and get ready for school. He was a little bummed. I told him I would take him to the track later tonight when Dad gets home. So as promised we went to Timpanogas High track. The funny thing about this is the uniforms. They wanted to were my old uniforms from when I was nine (yes I still have them.) They were to big and they kept pulling up the shorts on the first heat. After Jake changed he ran a 400M in 1 min. 56 seconds. This is his new record. He ran the 100M in 22 seconds. He told me that he just kept telling himself "Never give up." He has more heart than anyone I know. My mom calls him his little Tiger Woods ( he thinks that is so "COOL".) Brooks was super tired tonight but he still managed to run a 400M in 3 min. and 18 seconds. He just wanted to wear the uniform. I love these kids so much I think I just might burst. I love to see them so happy. I wore my old red bandanna. I used to wear a red bandanna every track practice. Justin and Mel's came with us and she brought her spikes with her. So of course I had to time myself. Unfortunately I haven't improved since last fall. I am not sure what my deal is. I will have to try again in a few weeks.

How many have your name?

I didn't want to make 80 new post so I put the rest of my pictures on Slide shows. While we were there we went to Universal Studios on Wednesday. It was so much fun. Kathryn watched Aubrey for me. It helped us out so much. We were able to really enjoy the park with the boys. On Thursday we went to Sea World. The Dolphin show was amazing. It was like going to a Vegas show with dolphins. You had Dolphins, acrobatics, and live birds. What else is there? Shamu was a bit of a let down after that. The boys sat on the front row so they could get soaked. They didn't, but it was still a blast. Jake and Brooks kept putting sunblock on themselves this trip. I don't know what the deal was. Jake was practically bathing in it. I guess they do listen to me sometimes. Tom Anderson came with us to Florida to surprise Jason Snyder. It was so nice having him there to help at the parks. It made a world of difference. My kids love Tom and they really enjoyed having him there. In Sea world they have a little title wave ride for little kids. Aubrey was panicked. She snuggled right up to her dad. She really was funny. She was so excited before it started and once it did terror set in. It was funny.
