GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!

Brigg scored his first goal to day, it was so awesome! Let's just say that his team is having fun, but the skills are really lacking. He plays on a team called the Killer Sharks, and it is his first year playing soccer so he is still figuring this sport out. We have had a few games so far and really the only thing he is been getting real good at is checking and body blocking the other team. Needless to say his team as not won any games until today. We played a team with a very similar lack of skill, so it was great for our guys to figure out what to do with out the ball being taking away. The Sharks were able to score 3 goals, one of which was Brigg's. The ball had been deflected by the goal keeper and Brigg was there to pound it in. I am not exaggerating either, normally he wiffs it or shanks it sideways. But this was a straight on, waist high kick right into the net. It was so cool to watch him, he acted like it was no big deal. Loren and I were pretty excited for him. After the game the first thing he wanted to do was call his grandparents to share the news with them. It was great!

blue man boys

We took the boys to Sea World this afternoon for the trick or treat event that they have. The boys wanted to wear their costumes but it was pretty warm, so I convinced them not to. My convincing was done in the form of a can of blue hair paint. We waited to put it on when we got there to protect my car seats from being exposed to fresh blue hair. Let me just say, that this stuff does not stay on like it used to. It was like powder, so either I got the real cheap stuff or they don't make it the way I remember.
Jaxon was very scared of it at first, and yes being the evil parents that we are we forced him into liking it. Which he did with the help of Brigg's hands around his neck.
Now my house is full of candy that I don't need to be eating.

A few things I have learned lately...

If you smack your kid in the head with a toothpaste tube, the back of it can split open and make a mess all over the place.
Tyden and silly putty do not mix.

The face after I discovered the mess.

The mess.

The new comb over on my 4 year old.

I am sure that there is a better method than busting out the scissors to remove silly putty, but my patience was gone. I figured that it had been in is hair for about 2 hours because that is how long I new it was missing, so it was pretty smashed in there. Even after I cut it out there was still putty stuck to his head.

I do plan on leaving his hair like that. Tiny has a huge head and he would look terrible with a buzz cut. So instead he will look like a middle aged man with a bald spot.

Don't judge me.

Fall Break

Jax and some cousins at the zoo.

The boys and I in front of NYC miniland at Legoland.
New York is where it all began.

T & J striking a pose!

Tyden flying high with a cousin who is 2 years older than him. Tyden is HUGE!

Seriously, he is already cruising with one hand on the wheel.

I don't recall the last time we actually watched Bob the Builder, I took this picture more for Tyden's hat over the hoodie look.

Hay ride with G & G Spencer at Oma's pumpkin patch.

That's Doug, Loren, Brigg, Tyden and Jax keeping it real.

Perfecting his moves in the cotton seed barn.

Warming up.

Look at that form!

Pay no attention to the white ball still on the ground. It was a-um-er-a practice swing, ya just practicing!

Last week Az had fall break so we were lucky enough to have some visitors of the Spencer kind. Loren's parents flew in on Friday night and we did not stop until the following Friday morning. Loren was kind enough to invite me along when he went golfing with his dad. I was not very good, but I am sure that I will improve if I go again. Loren says that I was bad luck because he did not play very well. I think he was trying too hard to impress me.

Sunday night one of Loren's brothers and his fam came. We went to a pumpkin patch, Legoland, the Science Center and the Zoo. We went out to eat almost every night, and my kids were thrilled! I am so thankful that Loren got his residency in a place that people want to visit!

to the dogs

We just couldn't help ourselves, the boys were going nuts when they saw these cute puppies outside the store the other day. We looked at each other and decided that we needed to get a pit bull puppy for each of them.

NOT!

Do people still say not in 2009? Well I do and I will say it again, NOT!

Our neighbors dogs had 9 puppies and our boys get to play with them every day. It is fun watching the kids run around and love up on the dogs. Brigg even gets to go over and help give the dogs a bath and feed them.

For the record I love dogs, I have a very soft place in my heart for them. Someday I would love to get one, but not today and not a pit bull.

On a funny note... we sent a picture to our parents and told them we got the boys 3 dogs.

They totally bought it!

Do I look crazy to you?

Preschool for my Tyden

One seriously handsome little boy.

Most definitly, it was the one on the right, no doubt about it.

Here is Tyden checking things out.

That is Jaxon trying to blend in, in hopes of staying at the preschool.

This is Tyden and one of his favorite buddies from church. They are so excited to be in school together, can't you tell?

Tyden has been so excited for his preschool to start. He is going to a school that is at the local high school. It is a training class for high school students who are interested in teaching. So they are learning under the direction of an actual teacher. It is 4 days a week for 3 hours each day. So it is just me and my little Jax. Yah, I know what you are thinking...

Good luck Miss Hailey!
