Fall Soccer

Oakley decided that she wanted to try out soccer and she is loving it! She has played almost every position so far, but her favorite has been goalie. I love watching her play and she waves at us all the time:) Oakley has really struggled with self-esteem and putting herself out there so I am really proud of her for trying something new. I think it is going to help her a ton!

Softball love

Taylor played spring softball and really improved this year. She was the main pitcher and it was so much fun to see her confidence boost. She did so well that she made all-stars. What a trip down memory lane. I played for over 10 years and loved it! She learned a ton this year and her all-star coach was amazing! Here is a pic of her batting and then getting hit in the foot. Hey, we will take a walk any day to first:)Fall ball here we come!!!!

Parker"s outta here......

Out of here as in he is out of Elementary:) Parker is such an easy going kid. He makes my life really easy because he just goes with the flow. He hangs out with a great group of kids. He helps me out alot. He is a good student at school and I just love having him around. Here are a few pics of his 6th grade graduation. I had to work so Matt went which was sad because I hate to miss anything with my kids. Yet I am so glad he had his dad there. Here's to the joys of Jr.High!

Oakley turns 8 ( 3 months ago:)

My beautiful Oakley turned 8 on June 3rd. The time really seems to be flying since she is my youngest. I love Oakley's feisty personality. That girl can throw out some crazy fast comebacks like you wouldn't believe. She has a personality all her own and I love it. She has the cutest dimples, and beautiful blue eyes. She loves to play soccer and softball. She is very loving and is my sidekick. I love this little girl!

Oh it's on!!!

Oh it's on people! It's on. I am not waiting for New Year's. I'm not waiting for after the holiday's. I am losing this weight before all that. Starting tomorrow!!! You may have heard me talk about this awesome challenge before. It's called 8 weeks to a better you. I love it. It's all about the challenge, but I love that it makes me a better person spiritually too. There are 10 things you work on each day. Exercise, a good nights rest, 64 oz of water, no sugar, no soda/junk food/fast food, 2 servings of fruits and veggies, no eating after 8 pm, write in a journal (blog), read scriptures or other uplifting reading for 15 mins, and complete an act of service or random act of kindness. They pool a small amount of money and at the end it is divided up to the winners. I have gotten money at the end the two times I have done it, but the reason I am doing it is for the fun support and challenge. If your interested check out the blog www.8weekstoabetteryou.blogspot.com or their facebook page 8 weeks to a better you. You will love the support and advice that is given from all the peeps doing it:) Wish me luck!!
