Last Football game 9-29

Porters football is over for the year... I'm a little sad, but a little relieved too. It has been a crazy couple of months for our family! Football is very intense, and Chad and Porter have been gone every night practicing. It's been so fun, and his little team was Awesome! They won every game after the first one... Finishing as the region champs. I think Porter loved every second of all of the hard work!

Syracuse Vs Northridge 9-28

We decided to go to the Syracuse game... It was CRAZY busy. I have never seen so many people at a high school game, but we made it in, and enjoyed a nice night of football.

Hogle Zoo 9-27

We are off track!! We've been enjoying our time off so far. Lots of play time! Today we went to the zoo. Trace and Roc haven't seen the new polar bear, so Porter had lots of fun showing him off.

GEEEEZZZZO... we have a bunch of kids now!

More Rosie Newborns 8-31

A good friend of mine is an amazing photographer.  She was so awesome and came and spent hours with me in the hospital taking birth pictures...  When Rosie was a little over a week she took some newborn pictures for me too.  I love them, and seriously can't wait for my birth story pictures!!

Chads Hunt 9-26

Chad got to go mussel loader hunting this year on private property.  He has been so excited.  As our busy lives would have it... the hunt was over a weekend that was full of games.  Porters last football game, Trace's soccer game, and Roc's soccer game.  Chad decided that he would shoot the first "big" buck he found.  They saw this beauty the very first morning.  By 11 AM he had shot his deer!  I was one happy wife!  Now, I just can't wait to see it mounted ;).

Roc's Parties 9-26

We have been busy celebrating Roc's 4th birthday ALL week!  Sunday was his family party, and then we did it again today for his friends!  Roc had fun, but might be a little birthday'd out by now.  He cried when he he didn't get to go first in the bean bag toss, and threw a good fit when he didn't win the race... kind of a little stink!
He has been so excited about all his new toys though.  Captain America Costume, Spider man costume, pillow pet night light, a scooter, stompeez, balloons, Trucks him and his brothers painted, matchbox rollie guys, and lots of fun toys!  Yikes... a little spoiled by all of his friends and family!

Daddy is in love :) 9-24

Roc is 4 9-18

The other day Roc got on the scale to weigh himself...
Roc: "Wow, I'm really getting big."
Me: "you sure are buddy"
Roc: "Soon all be a daddy.  Then I'll be able to eat on the couch."

When Rosie was born...
Roc: "I'm huge now.  Just like Porter."

I was making caramel apples the other night and Roc dragged a chair over to see what I was making...
Roc: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking"
Me: "what are you thinking?"
Roc: "That I shouldn't be climbing up here."

Our wild little man is 4.  He is "HUGE"!  I can't believe what a stud he is, and yet he hasn't grown out of "trouble"... at all!

And just for fun... Since she had to come along for the ride.  One of Rosie.  4 Weeks already... Where has the last month gone?  She is growing up too fast.  Yesterday her Newborn clothes fit perfect, today - too small!!  Crazy.

Flag Football 9-12

Trace started Flag football this year.  His little team has been practicing at least twice a week for the past few weeks.  I'm surprised how much it has helped... all of them got a chance to carry the ball, and all of them did really good!  Trace scored a long touch down... WAY TO GO TRACERS!!

I had my camera on the wrong setting for Trace's touchdown, but decided to post it anyway...

Annie's Wedding 9-8

My bestest friend from high school, Annie, got married today!  It was beautiful.  She got married at la Caille... Seriously so pretty.  It was a perfect day, and I am so happy for her and Chuck.  It is always fun to get together with my friends from high school, and the past few months leading up to the wedding have been a great excuse to be together!

AYSO 9-8

Fall soccer has started again... and look who is "old" enough to play.  (Not actually... you technically have to be 4 before September, but we decided to ignore that and sign him up anyway :))  Trace is playing up a year too!
They both did so good.  I can't wait for Saturdays full of Soccer, Soccer, and more Soccer.  Mix this into our already crazy football filled lives, and we are C-R-A-Z-Y!  Today Chad and I had to split to get all the kids where they needed to be.  Chad went up to Coalville with Porter for his football game, and I stayed and watched both boys play soccer.  It might be a wild life we are living right now, but we love it!  I'm so proud of all three of the boys.

Rosie is going to get use to being on the run...
