Looking pretty!





We went to Tara's after church for brunch and to hunt for eggs



Dying eggs in the backyard




The kids hid these eggs for each other over and over for hours that night. They loved it.

The Team


Colin had another game today.  He scored another goal!!!   Then they had pictures afterwards.  Here's my camera version of the pictures, we did order the professional ones too though.

Colin's First Soccer Goal

We decided to sign Colin up for soccer this spring.  He'd done a couple of different activities but had never done a team sport.  He had his first practice and liked it but was a little bit overwhelmed.  Mimi took him out and bought him some cool cleats and he was excited again.  We missed his first game because we were out of town so Mimi took him.  It was hard for him.  There was just too much going on and he didn't know what to do.  His next game was tonight and we all went.  He did awesome!

Cheering on Colin

Leader, not a follower?

Love him!



Half of the game with these 4 year olds look like this. However, you can see his orange cleats right in the middle of it all.

Go Colin!

GOAL!!!!!

The Cousins go to St George

Early this month we headed down to St George with Jen, Jason and the kids.  It was a lot of fun. We went down a night early for some family time and extra mountain biking.   We had great weather the first couple of days but then it was pretty yucky the last day.  Jim and Sheri were able to make it down for a night too which was awesome!
