Matthew's Flag Football

Matthew is about half way through his flag football season.

I have been TERRIBLE about bringing my camera (I've only brought it ONCE).

But, I had to share my favorite play of Matthew's!

In the huddle.

Matt has been playing center.

Fake the handoff....

Start up the center....

Heading into the masses...

It looks like this kid has him!  Flag in hand!

But Matt makes a clean getaway! 

And nearly gets to the endzone!

We sure do love his coach!  (Our neighbor, Brent).

And Matt always has quite the cheering section!!

Red Butte Gardens

Friday my mom, sister, and I took the kids to Red Butte.

We went on Arbor Day so admission was free and everyone got a free tree to take home!

They also had some activities and free gifts (coloring books, leaf fans, glow sticks, etc.)

It was a little too cold for us so we didn't stay super long, but we had fun while we were there!

Andrew's 3rd Birthday!!

Our little Andrew turned THREE last week!
With planning for Japan, and then being gone until right before his birthday, I didn't do much prep work for this party.  I did the Happy Birthday sign the day before, but everything else I did the day of!  It was kind of a crazy thrown together party, but I was really happy with how it turned out!  (And thankful to copy others ideas online!)

He had two of his buddies come over for a birthday lunch and playdate.  The night of his birthday my family came over for hawaiian haystacks as a birthday/thank you for babysitting for two weeks party.  Some of Darin's side came and joined us for dessert.  It was a great night!

Happy birthday sweet Andrew!!
