Jackson is 5!

Here is a few pictures from Jackson's birthday. He is a lucky boy to have his day on a federal holiday. We spent the morning at Chuck E Cheeses (where a kid can be a kid). He then got to go birthday shopping with his Grandparents who came over later that night to celebrate with us! We love you Jackson and we are so glad you had a birthday!

Halloween

Happy Birthday Anita!

Our very own Anita Roberts had another birthday! We were so glad to have her come over and be able to party with her! We had the usual and famous carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Yummm! For her birthday she got the book by Dr. Seuss, There's a wocket in my pocket. She also got her very own wocket but the sad thing is that it doesn't fit in her pocket! It is a very soft nice wocket and I think she will learn to love it. See how she looked at me? I don't think it was what she had in mind for her birthday. I hope they are getting along now. The decor

Did I mention how great she looks for being seventy two? Happy Birthday Anita! We love you!

More Soccer

Addison and Kennedy are playing their first year of soccer! Hooray! We love going to watch them both play. They have really done quite well and have gotten better and better with each week that passes. Go Tigers!

Soccer

I really wanted Jackson to play an organized sport this year. Soccer is a great place to start. We tried to put him on a team through Parks and Rec. He was put on a waiting list. We waited and waited but they decided not to form another team. I was bummed and I knew he would be sad. I was chatting with a friend that lives in another stake and her son was on the waiting list like us and never got on a team. We decided to create our own teams. We met every Friday in the morning, I formed a team from the Vancouver stake and she formed a team from the East stake. It turned out to be so much fun! The kids really enjoyed it, I think the parents enjoyed it and I loved being the coach and having those kids come up and hug me. It was a great success and I think we will do it again!
