School

The kids are having a great time in school this year. One of the days was hat day. My kids looked like a couple of thugs. Sammy had a cute girly purple hat, but she wanted to be like the boys and wear a baseball hat. Love that she can be girly but tomboy.

They also got their school pictures taken. I love how awkward kids look in their pictures. That's what makes it the best!

Football Fall 2012

This year Nick and Parker played football. Luke coached Nick's team this year. It was a tough year for them. They didn't win one game and it was hard on the kids but they got so good towards the end. We had a very young team. Nick and 1 other boy had only played before. So it was a learning adjustment for everyone.We had a couple nail biting games and came so close.

Parker liked it but wasn't obsessed like Nick is. Parker never complained, which really surprised me. His team the Chargers did make it to the Superbowl, but lost. He got a huge trophy for being 2nd place. I wasn't very good at taking pictures this season. Especially with Nick's team. I was always chasing Noah out of other fields that had games going on. One day I might be able to enjoy my children's games without a hyper toddler running around.
 
 Our Saturdays were crazy and not so fun with the heat but I absolutely love watching my kids play sports. It's so fun seeing them progress each game. I hate it when I have to miss a game. I'm getting a little nervous for basketball season. Our Saturdays will be crazy! Sammy start volleyball, so I will have 2 basketball games and 1 volleyball. Which means I bound to miss at least one kids game every Saturday.

Sleeping Noah

Noah sleeps in very weird places and positions. I have found him in his closet, under his bed, blocking the door, naked, and half naked. I wish I had pictures of all these. I debated about sharing one but it's too funny and I want him to see this one day in my blog book and laugh and hopefully be glad I took it. I also found a great app that blocks out the private parts. You know, since we take so many nudey pictures.

Sammy Loves the Camera

Miss Sammy loves taking my phone and camera and taking "modeling" pictures of herself and random pictures of her brothers. See for yourself.

The Lake

I grew up going to Lake Mead every Saturday. I loved it and it was so nice to be surrounded by cool water when it was 110 outside. Luke's not much of a water person so I don't see us ever owning a boat. Luckily we have friends and family members who have them and ask us to go out. This was the kid's first time going out on a boat. They loved it! They were like little fish and couldn't wait to jump off the boat.My Uncle and his family took us out we had the best time. It was also wonderful having Noah take 2 naps in my lap. I never get cuddles from him.

First Day of School

It was a hard, long, and hot summer. The reason why it was so hard was because of my first trimester sickness. It was the worst it had ever been. It didn't help that I had 4 little munchkins wanted my attention all day long. We made it through and I was ecstatic that school was starting. I love when school starts. It means there's a schedule, and honestly I am lucky to have kids who love school. They never ever complain about it. So it's a win win situation. We are all happy!!

Nick is my planner. He loves to have things mapped out. When I walked in his room the night before this is what I saw.

 I can't believe Parker is in Kindergarten. Crazy!

 Yes Nick's feet are huge and this shoes don't help at all. I think he is a size 5 now.

 Sammy loves first grade. She could stay there all day. Look how tall she is? People are so surprised when I say she is only 6.

 This guy thought he was going to school too. This is his last year with me before he goes to preschool. I should be sad but this mommy is excited.

I am so lucky to live by a school that is great. Las Vegas doesn't have the best school district but I feel good knowing my kids go to a very top rated school. Their teachers are amazing too.

A Cub Scout

This was a big year for Nick. turning 8, getting baptized, and being able to go to scouts. He made it just in time to go to scout camp. It was all week in this awful Vegas heat in August. Nick loved it even thought it was 110 degrees. Didn't bother him and he never complained about going. He loves anything social and sporty. He was able to get some awards and it made him excited about the cub scout program.
