Spring 2011

Here I go again with the massive, one-size-fits-all post. Let's be real though. All of you that read our blog only care about the pictures anyway, right!?!? These are the most recent pictures of the kids & me, taken last night during & after Hannah's recorder recital. She was awesome! Her little fingers were busy & we were impressed that she knew all those songs. Probably because every time she tried to practice we told her to practice in the garage. Rude parents! 

Hannah (almost 10! can't believe it!)

Isabella (almost 4! my baby is not a baby!) 

Ryan (7 crazy kid!)



Hannah always gets the front row...she's a little petite



Pat has had another injury. I think he's on his 13th life. On Monday, he was delivering chips when a stray dog ran up & bit his leg. No, not the one he has had so much trouble with....the other one! The wound has looked worse everyday. He is on vacation next week so hopefully he can rest up before another long week at work. He is one tough guy. He went to work everyday with his leg looking like this. :( He was proud to say that the dog limped away with injuries of its own.   









To celebrate reading week, the kids have spirit days at school. Crazy hair day is always fun. 
Hannah with blue & green highlights.

Ryan with a blue mohawk.


Seems like Easter came & went so fast this year. The kids love to color eggs & the Easter Bunny brought them way too much candy and toys. 








This was Hannah's 6th season playing soccer & Pat's 6th season coaching. They had an awesome team this year. Hannah is a great defender, but she even got some time as a forward, scoring 2 goals in the last game of the season. This year was bittersweet because although we live in Farmington, we have still played in Aztec. In the fall, we will switch to Farmington so Hannah can play on a team with girls from her school. 
We will miss the Ice Breakers!




Isabella is old enough to play in the fall & is sooooo excited. We are glad because she is playing whether she wants to or not. I have chased her all around for 3 years of soccer, pulling her off of the field during games & trying to entertain her every way possible. It will be nice to SIT during a game!



Ryan had another awesome wrestling season. He place 3rd or 4th at every tournament. Because of his age, he had to move up a division, making him one of the youngest kids out there. A lot of the kids were taller than him, but he was still pretty tough. 
He loves wrestling so I'm sure I will have several more anxiety attacks in the future.   


 Isabella had surgery on April 12th to remove the tubes from her ears. They had been in her ears for 2 years & it was time they came out. She did well. Being put to sleep didn't phase her a bit. She was wrestling with Ryan that night!

Hopefully I can get back to posting more often. The kids have 9 (NINE!) days of school left & we will be leaving for WV in less than 5 weeks. 
Getting excited & stressed!
