Soccer 2010

Brayden moved up to the U-8 division this year for soccer. He's really doing very well - getting in there and trying real hard! He seems to be enjoying it this year! We're really proud of him! Here are a couple pics from sunday's game - Brianna sweating on the sidelines! Brayden kicking the ball... I'm sure we'll have more pics to post in the future!

Labor Day weekend, Zoo, etc.

One of our funday mondays we took Brianna to the zoo - we hadn't seen the cheetahs yet. They were really active for cheetahs - this one was very interested in Brianna (let's just say it's a good thing there was a fence here)! It kept hiding then peeking out at her... Brianna giving the goat some love:)

Give me a kiss!

Brianna stuck between the tusks:

Our favorite - the sea lions and seals!

Last sunday we wanted to do some putt putt in honor of Gary and my first date 13 years ago - but Great Times was closed. So instead we went to Rustic miniature golf and driving range. Here's an attempted pic of the kids...

Brianna's photo shoot - next to our butterfly garden!

Old fishing dog Boston - chilling in the boat over Labor Day weekend!

Ryan and Brayden going on the fixed jet ski!

Indian's game

For a Father's Day gift we told Gary we would take him to an Indian's game - but being gone all summer at the lake we almost didn't make it! Last minute we decided to go after one of Brianna's gymnastics classes. Bri wasn't too sure about it at first - she kept thinking Brayden was going to go play soccer or something. But as soon as she saw the field, she and Brayden's eyes lit up! It was such a fun night of eating junk food, dancing goofy to the music, and giving Rowdy high fives! We even won 4 free car washes for sitting in the winning section!

Baby shower for Alivia:)

Back in August I hosted a baby shower for my sister at my mom's house:) We're so excited to meet baby Alivia! Here are a few pics from the shower:
