The pink piranahs had an interesting Spring season. They only won 1 game, tied 4 and lost 4 (by usually only 1 goal). We entered the AA tournament in last place but worked our way to the finals. (the Salem game was the best! We knocked out the 1st place team!) We actually had previously beat the team we played in the finals, but ended up losing 2-3. The girls were so sad, but it was a great game! Taylor was so upset because she didn't score and thought it was her fault they lost. In the semis and finals she kept shooting great shots that the goalie either got or that hit the bar. It was crazy!
They weren't thrilled with the 2nd place trophies :)
our soccer geeks! Luke was the only one with a little pride :)
so I literally RAN in from our trip back from California, grabbed Taylor and drove back to Provo for HOPE of AMERICA. Taylor's in the flag and sang in the program. No one warned us, though, that it was a 2 hour boredom fest :)
It was so long that Hudson had to use a water bottle :) Luckily I found Tiffany...we complained together!
She's still the best corner kicker :) She gotten the team several goals off of her great kicks!
Corndog's sad tumor. After we had it removed, along with ear surgery, they told us it was cancer. Taylor said "why do all of our animals have to die?!" It does seem to be a curse in our home.
Zacky plays pitcher, short stop and sometimes catcher. I just think he looks so adorable in his gear...and he uses grandpa's glove :)
I had a great Mother's Day. I got breakfast in bed, then while Bryan was making his famous salad, I was sent to bed. The kids made brownies and Zacky gave me a neck massage. He's actually really good :)
Taylor gave me coupons and a cute card. I have the best kids :)
Zacky gave me a mini foot massage too!
Thank you Bryan!
Jeff was in trouble, so he wrote funny messages in chocolate :)
Zacky got his first cup! He was excited :) Who has a picture like this!
Taylor and Noelle are still taking private lessons from Alicia. They love it! They're still in trouble for not getting their splits yet :) but are doing great. They've learned 3 jumps and Taylor can do a one footed spin now. They're so cute!
She's actually learning grace :)
Mom got new grass after they had to rip up her whole yard!
Devin was not pleased that the boys kept taking breaks!
Poor corndog had his tumor removed and his ear quilted. The kids took good care of him....
Zacky even slept on the floor with him because he couldn't jump up on the bed with his stupid ginormous collar!
Our last soccer game of the season! They won 6 out of 10 games. They're a great little team if we could just get everyone there most of the time! who knows what we'll do next year...and all the boys just complain about going to training! I'm over soccer right now :)
We had a soccer party. The boys love to swim and play together! We then watched Bryan try to burn down the entire neighborhood! Dang weeds!
I made it through my Woman of Steel triathlon! I almost chickened out...especially after Jen bailed. I used her bike so I didn't half to ride my pee wee bike! I did it in an hour and a half so I was happy. I can check that off my life list! Bryan was out of town so I was so alone :) Kara came to cheer me on, but we somehow missed each other! I ran the 5 K in 30 minutes and considering that I had to walk much of the first up-hill mile, I was happy. The swim was the most frustrating because people put themselves in faster lines than they should have been in so I literally was walking on the bottom of the pool trying to pass. It's over! Yah!!
Corndog was the boys good luck charm :)
We had a 4 hour soccer swim party on Friday to celebrate a great tournament! The girls had a blast!
They made Darren get in too!
Daddy's been out of town a LOT lately interviewing for jobs...so the kids decided we should have a slumber party. Not the best night's sleep ever! :) Kara said Corndog was on the bed too, but jumped off right before she took the picture! She and Dan stayed over after our late night spa party. He was knocked out from allergy meds and I told him he wasn't allowed to drive home! Although I wanted to kick him out after he shared all of his bad childhood pranks with Zacky! Zacky has never looked so entertained! :)
He was supposed to be out cleaning up dog poop!
Zacky practiced his pitching with Daddy in the backyard :) Then he went in and hit off the pitching machine...he's getting to be a great hitter! I told him that I didn't want to see any more boring walks...although kid pitch is definitely tricky and LONG :) He's now going to be playing on a Super League team too so he's wanting to practice lots more.
Zacky got Sunday sickness...although he actually threw up so we believed him this time :) I'm sure it had nothing to do with the JCW's that Daddy brought home last night!

We ate dinner at del taco...kelly was very pleased with her tacos and my nachos slurped! We laughed and laughed on that drive home! We stopped at Nancy's house to stay the night before the second leg home. Mom got so mad at us because we couldn't stop laughing and were being too loud at 1:00 am. I don't think Jared will ever take a trip with us again! :)
