Soccer

Soccer! Tyler played on a little co-ed team this past fall. They were the Cheetahs! He had a lot of fun playing and scored a total of 1 goal the entire season. :) He had a blast!

 Tyler is number 9 chasing that ball down.

 Kicking off.

 I don't even know what to say about this crew. Two sets of brothers who are the best of friends.

 This is what Carson did during Tylers games. Worked on his skills over on the sidelines.

 The Cheetahs had an end of the year party where they had pizza, pop, and cake. At the party each kid recieved a trophy and a medal. Tyler was beyond excited to get a trophy.

So proud of his trophy and medal! It was a great season and we look forward to next year.

Taekwondo!

We signed Tyler up for 6 weeks of Taekwondo lessons. He LOVED it! What boy wouldn't love it when the teacher is actually encouraging you to punch and kick as hard as you can. :) He did really well in it and we only caught him practicing on his little brothers a couple of times. :) 

Tyler and his buddy Alex from church. You don't want to mess with this duo!

Tyler and Alex with Master Karstadt. We really liked his teacher. He was amazing at Taekwondo and was also really great with the kids.

Push-ups! They are always part of their warmup and they are always hilarious to watch

Hike!

Workin' on his side kicks. Pretty good form!

Jab! Cross! Guard! Tyler is on the end there on the right shouting as loud as he can in his "black belt leadership voice".

Halloween!

We had a really fun Halloween weekend. On Friday we went to a pumpkin patch, on Saturday we had our ward trunk or treat, on Sunday we carved pumpkins, and on Monday we went trick-or-treating. My boys really got into Halloween this year and my sister Lisa even came down to spend the weekend with us. It was a lot of fun!

My three scarecrows

Kings of the mountain

 

Picking out pumpkins. Literally impossible to get all three looking at the camera at the same time.

 

Family Halloween shot

 

Carson LOVED this big box of corn! Couldn't keep him out of it.

 

The boys rode the little train ride and of course LOVED it!

 

Rick and the boys raced around the track on these cool bike/cart thingies.

So what were our boys for Halloween?

Tyler was the infamous Darth Vador! Oh man, did he feel cool!

Logan was Sheriff Woody! Seriously the cutest cowboy ever!

Carson was Donald Duck. He was so fluffy he barely fit in the stroller

These two joined forces and it was an unstoppable team!

The three munchkins at the trunk or treat

 

Love my family! It was seriously such a fun ward activity. Good food, good company, and perfect weather!

 

The boys with some of their friends from church. Everyone was supposed to be making their best superhero pose.

 

We carved pumpkins Sunday night. We were all excited that Lisas/our good friend Shilo could come up from Chandler and spend the evening with us. We ate dinner and then we all had fun carving pumpkins while we listened to the Ghostbusters theme song over and over and over again thanks to Logan begging for it All. Night. Long.

Love my Tyler

The boys with our pumpkins this year. I was just glad no one picked a gourd to carve like last year.

The boys loved having aunt Lisa here to visit! We all had a great time with her. Thanks for coming and thanks for such a great aunt/ sister to our family!

 

Tylers teacher emailed me this pic. At school on Halloween his class broke off into groups and opened pumpkins. They were making predictions of capacity using different sized pumpkins. At parent teacher conference his teacher told me that Tyler loves any chance to be social, and I believe her!:)

Random Pictures

I have not been good about taking pictures lately. Going through my camera though I did find some summer pictures that never made it on my blog. So here is a little recap in no particular order.

Tyler LOVES Darth Vador. I came home one day to find Tyler dressed like this. Rick had made this costume for him out of a ski mask, one of Ricks long sleeved black shirts, and a toy light sabor. Rick kept playing the Darth Vador theme song on the computer over and over again and Tyler would march around the house dressed like this. You could tell he felt pretty cool!

Carson loves to ride these little bikes and loves it even more when one of his brothers rides with him!

What's up Doc?

A BBQ in the park one night with some friends.  Rick and Logi had fun playing a little catch

The kids thought this was the FUNNEST thing ever!  I was just glad it wasn't my white sheet. I'm pretty sure after this activity those grass stains were never going to come out.

Macaroni and Cheese gone wrong! This was one of the first times he was eating it and he couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough. He ended up picking up the whole bowl to try and shovel it in his mouth but he ended up dumping it all down his head instead!

Ricks dad came out for a visit back in July when Rick got his new calling. The boys always love when Grandpa comes!

Tyler and Logan can sometimes be very sweet with each other.

Brothers!

Getting buried in blankets

Bath time! They LOVE baths. I always have to drag them out when they are starting to look too wrinkly.

Rico turned the big 3-0 at the end of September! Happy Bday to him! He entered a new decade so I guess he is getting old. :) I think Rick and I still think of ourselves to be our early 20s but I suppose we need to convince ourselves that that is not really the case anymore.

The boys are lucky to have such a fun loving daddy.

This kid fell asleep on the couch with his gogurt still in his mouth.

Little cheeseball. He seriously has the biggest teeth I have ever seen on a baby. They are huge for such a little mouth. His baby teeth are almost as big as my permanent teeth.

These two love to sit on the couch first thing in the morning and drink their milk together.

  Every time I turn around this kid is on the table. He loves it up there. He is constantly climbing up the chairs and climbing onto the table.  It is his favorite place to be.

Love this cute face!

 

Stole his brothers hot dog right off his plate. Didn't even bother to take the bun too.

 

We got to watch some friends of ours kids one night and they all had fun having a big movie night! 

 

 I stole this picture off of my friend Charbel's blog. Me with some girls from the ward after the R.S. Broadcast. We all decided to go out to dinner afterwards at Claim Jumper. It was lots of fun!

Go Cardinals!

 Are You Ready For Some Footbaaaaaaaall!

We are! Football season is here and we are excited at our house, especially Rick. We went to a Cardinals preseason game last week with some friends of ours from the ward. They played the Denver Broncos. We of course got the cheapest tickets we could find so we sat way up high in the corner but we had a blast. It was a great time! 

Our family in front of the stadium. Our kids had so much fun! They loved all the action at the stadium and they loved to dance to all the loud music that was played during the game.

Trying to get a family shot in our seats. We root for the Cardinals because we live here but Rick wants everyone to know that his true heart still lies with the NY Giants!
