Tyler's 11th Birthday party

Tyler had his 11th birthday party at Pump it Up!! Half his class came and had fun, even though it was a school night....looks like the boys came and the only girl from his class to come was Aly (his neice, who is his same age, ha!)

Surprise Iphone Photos

Have you ever let your child play with your phone and you got it back with a bunch of photos on it? Well I uploaded mine, before I had a chance to delete them. I did not know she knew how to take photos with the Iphone. Smart little cookie! These were taken on the way back home from Tucson (see the roadside of I-10, ha!)on Superbowl Sunday. We had a soccer game for Evan's team in Tucson at Noon that day. I am sure Paris was so proud of her little photos she took. Daddy was driving, Mommy (me)was the co-pilot, Paris sat in the middle row and the boys sat in the 3rd row. Oh and as you can see, we stoped for lunch and milkshakes at Carl's Jr!

Presidents Day Soccer Tourny

Guess who won?? Yep, Evan's team :)I usually don't post photos of every tournament, but may start doing so. They seriously enter so many. We have 2 this month and have had 3 or 4 so far in 2009.

*In this tournament we won our 5 games, then penalty kicks to win the Presidents Day Cup soccer tournament. We beat our revivals (Sereno, Evan's old team)

On The Court With Paris

In addition to her twice weekly group lessons we started Paris on private tennis lessons. Her age is a great age for tennis because of the eye and hand coordination development. The same with golf, and other sports (bowling, badmitton, ect)... she just loves tennis. I think because it's outdoors and there is less running then soccer. Oh and she gets to look cute. No uniform :)

Father Daughter Dance 2009

Thursday, February 19th was the annual "Dad and Daughter" dance at CCV. Robb escorted Miss Paris, and they joined up with other friends at the dance. Once there, they ate dinner, made a craft, took a professional photo and danced!! Here is a little photo recap...yes, Robb took the camera along!!

HEAD Donations for Uganda

I guess it's all about who you know :) My son has a friend who's grandmother works at HEAD. HEAD makes tennis sports wear and equipment here in Az. The company is closing one of their plants and was donating and giving away a bunch of their inventory. This lady knew about Hope 4 Kids and my passion. So she held boxes of goods for me! Robb loaded his car full. I took inventory and came up with 56 pairs of tennis shoes (valued at $69.95 each) and also tons of warm-up out fits, shorts, duffel bags, hats, shirts, ect. This is really such a great thing for Tru Vine (the boarding school/ church) that is trying to start a sports program for the orphans. All of these goodies will be heading over in June with Kristi and I to Uganda! God is good!!

Tyler's 11th Birthday

February 18th, 2009... Tyler's 11th birthday!!! Morning started off with Aiden putting candle in a donut for Tyler as we all sung Happy Birthday to him over cereal! Then off to school the kids went, Tyler of course had cupcakes in tow (the good buttercream frosted kind from Bashas). His class party is next week, so more pictures later.....

Our 2nd Soccer Player of the Family

Aiden's first year of competitive soccer is almost over, and boy has he grown as a player!! The 2 weekly practices plus games Sept-March every weekend really helped him! He is really gaining skill and it shows. So it's official, I have 2 solid competitive soccer players in my house, Evan and Aiden :)
