Christmas 2007

A visit to Santa

Soccer, Soccer, Everywhere Soccer

Teagan is playing in her first year of soccer. She is on an Under-6 team and is really good. (I think it is because she has been practicing in the backyard against her older sister).

Next year, she and Lauryn should be on the same Under-8 team. That should be a lot of fun!!

Soccer, Soccer, Everywhere Soccer - Part 2

Lauryn has been playing on her Under-8 soccer team this year. It is the first time she has played on the large field. The first couple of games really wore her out!

She has steadily improved her soccer skills throughout the year and has done very well at goalie (when it was her turn to play it). The team hasn't won too many games but all the girls are sweet and have a lot of fun!

Reagan Turned Two!!

Reagan turned two in August. We had a small family party with a homemade cake that dad made. She received some gifts that were Dora the Explorer. After all, who doesn't like Dora?

School Daze

Here are the girls on their first day of school. Lauryn is starting 1st grade, Teagan is starting PM kindergarten, and Ashtyn is going to AM Pre-K.

The girls in front of their school sign.

Teagan with Mrs. Sullivan.

Ashtyn with Miss Mary.

Stitches ~ Who said boys were easier?

Reagan was coming down the stairs and her foot started to slip. So she grabbed the rod iron stair rail and her body then started to swing forward.  Her head hit the square detail on the rod iron and her head split open in 2 places. I took her to the hospital were she received 5 stitches on top and 2 or 3 on the bottom. She was a real trooper.

Summer Fun in Utah

We went to visit Jaden at his house the first night we got here. He broke his leg the day before we got there and has a full leg cast. Poor guy. Just when all the cousins are coming. I am sure he will manage just fine. (This isn't his first broken leg)
Aunt Amy (Mom), Teagan, Tristan, and Lo
Kylee and Reagan. Kylee is so good to her. She helps take care of her as much as Reagan will allow. She still won't look at the camera.
Reagan loves her new cousin Lyra (Tim & Desi's baby). She thought she was a doll and wanted to feed her (taking the bottle in and out constantly) and make her close her eyes when she laid her down (with my help).
Most of the cousins together for Gramma's birthday! Of course I picked the one with her eyes closed. whoops!!

We did a few sparklers to get the festivities under way.

These are the 2 women behind the camera that are surprisingly in front of it for a rare moment.

Poor Reagan, this bump on her head is 5 days old, but just seems to be getting worse as the days go by and it starts to heal. She looked like she had a black eye.

Sugar Pine Railroad

Reagan would you please look at the camera so we can be done...

Thank You Rae-Rae.

Lauryn taking some pics of Mom & Dad



Where's Mom? Oh, there she is in the back.
The girls got a chance to get on the engine and see the fire down below and check out the inside of the engine #10.
Enjoying some of the scenery from the back open log caboose.
The sound of the horn was a bit loud for Reagan. Reagan enjoying the prize at the end of the train ride....Sugar! It was so funny watching her open it and eat it. It was like Christmas for her.

This was her happy dance that she did it!


We stopped on the side of the road to let the girls see the canyon. They were so worried that Jeff was going to drive off the edge of the road. Ashtyn was on the look out to let dad know if he was approaching the edge. I guess their view point of the road from the backside wasn't good.

Big Sundae Treat!

We went to Hanford where they have an ice cream shoppe that has been in business for a long time. It belongs to someone who owns a dairy, so the ice cream is homemade and fresh! It was fun for the girls. (We are trying to spend time with Dad since we (the girls) will be gone for 2 weeks.


Here we are...

The girls could barely hold still to take this picture. (I don't know why my flash didn't seem to work. I must have taken the picture to fast.)
We all want a cherry!!
Dad finishes off the 7 extra large scoops sundae.
Mom trying to keep Lo warm after the ice cream.
Ashie and Rae, can you believe how long Ash's hair has gotten. All she wants to do is cut it off. I'm not ready to do it yet. I'm trying to work up to that (for the last 4 months)!
