Spring sports

Both of the boys have started playing spring sports.

First up is Adam that asked to play soccer. Although I didn't volunteer to be a coach they were desperate so I get the "opportunity" to coach again. :) I tried to talk him into cute teal or red jerseys but he insisted on the blue. As I was walking out to the car I realized they are the same color as Sarah and Steven's when I coached their team three years ago.

Here are my cute Blue Dragons on the field. (Adam and Steven helped choose the name and you can see their influence in Steven's team name below)



Here's a video of Adam with the ball.

Steven didn't ask to play tee-ball but a group of kids from the neighborhood are all on the same team so Steven decided to join. Their first game was REALLY cold, so they cut it short, but it was long enough for Steven to make a great hit. Go Red Dragons! (Can you guess who chose the name?)

Line drive to Will

Great job Dude!

House update

Here are the newest updates on our house. 

April 8th- Stucco


April 9th- Still working on the outside

I went to take pictures and noticed they had the wrong trim in our garage. I called and they were able to switch it out and install it that day. 

April 11th- They installed all the closet and storage shelving


Sarah is excited about this bench. (so am I)



After looking at the house we took a trip to Blackridge reservoir AKA "Herriman Beach". It is one of our kids FAVORITE places. (Look HERE if you don't believe me) Now we're only a mile away. 


April 15th- Paint and baseboards




April 16th

April 19th- Hard floors put in.


Another trip to the reservoir. The weather wasn't great but the kids didn't mind. 
Rats tail, farmers tan and bum crack. A perfect combination. ;)


We're only about a month out which is very exciting!
