Carson starts Basketball

Carson LOVES basketball and has wanted to play on a team forever! For various reasons it hasn't happened, until last week. He had his first game with his team at the rec center and it was soo much fun!!! I'm not a sports mom, but there is something magical about watching your kid doing something that they are so passionate about. I loved every second of it and thought he was pretty darn good. Especially considering most of his teamates have been playing for 5 years.

He was in heaven!

My awesome little pointguard.

Go #2!!!!!!

The Zoo

Another day of fall break we went to the zoo. They were having a free admission day and Rylie had never been, and Skyler hadn't been since he was a baby! I know, I'm a bad mom :/!!! The weather was perfect and the crowds weren't too bad so we had a ton of fun!

Bowling

The kids had only one week off for fall break so we decided to stay home and do fun stuff in town. Jared also took the whole week off, which was great! The first day we decided to go bowling. The kids had a blast and I am regetful to say that I was dead last in both games! Next time I may use the bumpers!

Fall 2010

One evening we went out biking, wagoning, and walking through the neighborhood. It was fun and the weather was beautiful!

The kids had career dress up day at school. Madelyn wants to be a popstar like Taylor Swift. Carson wants to play for the Lakers. Skyler said he wants to be a professional golfer.

They're ready to go!

Unfortunately baby #5 isn't meant to happen right now :(

Rockies Game

Last Saturday we went with Jared's company to the Rockies game. They were playing the Dodgers, so we got our gear together and had to represent! His boss got a party suite and had it catered. We had a blast!!!!

Go Los Angeles!!!!
