Soccer!

I saw a sign for soccer registrations for fall and I called the rec center to check on ages. They said 3 years old would be considered pre-K so they let me sign Max up for soccer. Now that the season is over, I can say Max was too young to play soccer. Max was the youngest on his team (by a whole year or 2) but he was the tallest/biggest. I thought he would love soccer because I always loved soccer.I started playing soccer when I was 5 and played all the way to high school. For about 3 years now I have been coaching Max to be NICE, not to take other people's toys, and not to kick or hit anyone. Well, he is finally STARTING to 'get it' and now for soccer we are telling him to STEAL the ball and kick it away from everyone. I think it confused him a bit.

The last couple of months Max has been obsessed with the Incredible Hulk. So at Max's soccer game is he running around pretending to BE the Hulk. The video is pretty funny, but we have since stopped letting him watch the cartoon because it is taking over his life and he is always saying, "DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY...YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY!"

Fun Times

My sister and I, along with some friends from work, purchased season tickets to The Desert Star Theatre. We went to the first show a couple of weeks ago and boy did we have a blast! We saw a play called Scary Poppins! It was so funny. I would highly recommend going to see any of the plays there. There was even an outhouse that we had to take our picture in...

Sarah and MaryAnn holding up the arch!!! Impressive:)

I know....we're nerds. But we had so much fun. It is fun to have a girls day out every once and awhile. And Trevor was so sweet! He watched the kids AND Andrea's kids while we were gone. So he had 4 kids under 4....What a good daddy and uncle!

Halloween

I know...I'm almost a week late posting my Halloween pictures, I'm slow. A couple of months ago Max was loving pirates so I bought him a cute Pirate costume. He wore it for the family Halloween party, but then decided he wanted to be the Frankenstein that he dressed up as 2 years ago:



So Here's what he was on Halloween night: We took the kids to the Zoo for their trick-or-treat day and it was crazy! There were hundreds of people there. Max had to stop every kid that was dressed as the Incredible Hulk and let him know how cool he thought the costume was. It was pretty funny.

Paige dressed up like Minney Mouse. She was adorable. She loves anything with Minnie or Mickey so she thought it was pretty funny when I first put the Minnie ears on her:)

So that just leaves me and Trevor. I bought us this funny costume and it was like pulling teeth to get Trevor to wear it. He was Bacon and I was Eggs! I thought it was funny and easy, but Trevor gets embarrassed about EVERYTHING. In fact, he is probably going to be embarrassed about me writing this...so don't tell him! So I don't even have a picture of us wearing our costume....Trevor will glad about that.
