Cutest soccer player...EVER!!!!!!

Ellie played so well today in her soccer game. She really figured out how to go after the ball. It was so fun watching her try so hard the whole game and she scored her first goal!!!!

(She's the one in white #5)

1st Grade

Mason is now a 1st grader, and he has been eating his lunch at school this week (that's weird for me). It's kind of sad not having him around. After we dropped him off on the first day, Ellie said, "I'm going to miss Mason." She has spent her whole life with him only being gone for a couple hours at a time. Now she's not going to see him for 7 hours! Cassidy also said, "I miss Mason." Even though we miss Mason, he has a great teacher and we are very excited about this school year!  



Soccer Time

This year both Mason and Ellie get to do soccer. Mason is playing on a much bigger field with goalies, while Ellie gets to have a practice before and then play a 20 minute game. Ellie is #5 and is taller than anyone else on her team, including the boys. Mason is #7 and puts forth a lot of effort running up and down the huge field. It is so fun to watch them play! They enjoy it a lot too!

 Cutest preschool soccer player EVER!

 I love this shot! You can see how much more intense it is at this age. There is constant running and players are always falling down!

Big Girl Bed

Cassidy is SUPER excited for her new big girl bed. We got it for her yesterday, and she has spent a lot of time snuggling up in her blankets. She slept great and didn't even think about getting out! Now, if she'd only figure out potty training!


Our New Place

Here it is! My goal was to have our stuff out of boxes in a week, and I got it done in about 5 days. I can't stand leaving things out with no place to put them.

 Here is a photo gallery of our new place. It is a super nice condo community and we are about 20 steps from the clubhouse, fitness center, pool and playground. 

 Our front door is downstairs, and you walk up to get to the living area. 





 Mason is loving his own room.



 Ellie and Cassidy love sharing a room. The change worked out great.




I have really enjoyed being so close to the mountains. They are quite impressive to look at when you live right at the foot of them!

Another adventure!

Well, we have moved! We packed up the truck last week and moved to Provo. Dave starts his orientation for the BYU MBA program on Tuesday. Here we go! 

The kids thought the big yellow truck was pretty cool and had to have a picture taken next to it.





A couple last pictures in front of our house. It will be kind of sad to leave this home. It has been great and we will definitely miss the yard.
