An Aquarium Adventure

The day before our friend Malino started preschool, his mom took him, Konner and Kassidy to the Long Beach Aquarium with some free tickets. They got to check out all the fish, touch lots of sea creatures (including a jelly fish!!), and have the run of the place since pretty much everyone was back in school already. They had a great time, although they would tell me almost nothing about it themselves. Thanks Crystal!!

Soccer - Game On!

Kyler had his first game today and boy was it a success!! Kyler's team won (a lot to a little), the boys looked great as they ran around in a bunch, and the whole family game out to watch. Best part for Kyler was getting "Player of the Game" for his great work and hustle not only during the game but at practice too! He is not the best athlete on his team - those little guys can just zoom through traffic - but he is making such great improvements, has such a great attitude, and most importantly, having a blast out there. Great job Kyler!! Here's to a great season Penguins!

Soccer has Begun!

Kyler's opening day for his first season of soccer was yesterday. Not much soccer happened, just some team pictures and a carnival, but I have come to realize that soccer will pretty much take up our whole Saturdays from now on. Guess it just slipped my mind from when my brother and I use to play. His team is the Penguins - black and white uniforms, of course. Should be a fun season!

Labor Day Potluck

As with every year we like to get together with church and actual family for potluck and games on Labor Day. We had a great turn out this year despite the weird muggy heat, ate lots of super yummy food, played games, and just had a fun time hanging out together. Can't wait until we can do it again.

A Welcome for Aubrey Faith

Pink, pink and more pink! That is what we had in store for my newest niece. Just about a month after her birth we decided to get some family and friends together to shower our love on Aubrey Faith Wilcox! We celebrated the girliness of it all, play some girly games - a really great song matching game and another game testing our literary skills courtesy of Aunt Wendy - and enjoyed a yogurt "bar" where we built our own delicious parfaits. It was a lovely morning centered around our favorite newest member of the family!Since Aubrey has a lot already from her big sister, we decided to start a few collections just for her. We got her started with some books and some (actually a lot of) bows!Aubrey with her two hostesses - Aunt Janelle and Great-Aunt Wendy.Here is Aubrey with her mom, grandmas, great-grandmas, aunt, great-aunts, and two cousins!Look at these two cuties in all their pink!
I am pretty sure Aubrey is saying "I Love You!" to her favorite aunt! :)
