Can anyone say. . .

CHEESE! Chuck E Cheese that is! Blake had his farewell to Football party with his football team at the new Chuck E Cheese- Ry and I took the other kids along-they loved it!

(We made sure there were no cars coming) and the kids RAN to get in!

Blake with his team. They handed out trophies for each player.

The 4 coaches are in the background, they totally ROCK!

Blake winning a million tickets.

Cute Park :)

Austin has an Awesome shot!

Austin was so funny driving, I had to push the gas pedal. He took driving very seriously and we were rolling, literally, his car was totally beat up, and he would accept no help. It was hilarious, however I hope it's not a sign of things to come!!!

We played absolutely every game! It was a total blast!

THANK YOU ALL!!!! GIRL POWER!

IS THIS THE END??

Tis sad but true, FootBall is officially over!

GO BLAKE!!

Well, where do I begin. . . FOOTBALL is officially over. Blake's team won their last game by two touchdowns. I love watching them play, however I am grateful for the break from taking him to practice EVERYDAY! Thanks to all the neighbors who watched kids so I could run from here to there to everywhere!!!

I love this picture of the kids lined up waiting to go in (OFFENSE)-Blake is #27-right Greg! :)

The drive up was absolutely GORGEOUS! The leaves are changing

I was messing around with the camera and took this one of Ryan, he'll love that I posted it on the web! :) love ya hun!

Busy As Bees!

We spend our Saturdays bouncing from one game to the other! Parker is now playing soccer and is a total pro!! We went to his game this morning and then drove an hour to Blake's Football game-they practice an hour before and then the game is 1 1/2 hours! AN ALL DAY LONG EVENT-howeever, a WONDERFUL day. Austin is a trooper,he just can't wait to be big-and by the way he is FINALLY, TOTALLY, TRULY Potty trained! Yeah BOYS!! Love ya-Stace

Austin's Big Day!

Austin started what he calls "school" today.

He did So Well-He is getting so Big!

VACAY FUN!!

Viva Las Vegas!! We had so much fun this past week with the Flints and Cooks!

I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time-Thanks guys it was a BLAST and a much deserved vacay from the kids!

We took these pics on the way down-we rode down in "luxury" in the mini van :)

We stayed in St. George the first night-I ate 2 of the best peanut butter cookies-(don't get to eat those around Blake) We had so much fun and it only got better as the trip went on! We then went to vegas and stayed in the newly remodeled tower with widescreen tv's and King sized beds!
We ate and shopped and shopped some more! We took so many pics the first day there that I didn't pull my camera out much after that-We went and saw KA a cirque de solei show-it was acrobatics with sand and fire-very weird family friendly show, but not worth the $$$

We ate at this mexican restaurant when we got there.Yummy-but my favorite place we ate at was the Wynn, but didn't get any pics, sorry-the food was Amazing and the restaurant was unbelievable! Crab, shrimp, ANYTHING!! IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH A LITTLE SPLURGE TO DINE WITH THE HIGH ROLLERS! How much food did we consume that night?More than we should've :)

The Ladies :)

We all won some free money- I only gambled $1 and won $4 Ryan gambled $1 and won $18 !!! Er, Wend, Greg, and Bri all won too! We were laughing at how we took our small winnings and celebrated, even though we all only gambled $1 and walked away winners!!

Reliving the show "BIG"

Erin, ELVIS, and I We had so much fun and enjoyed an unbelievable "G" rated Vegas trip
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas; right guys!! :) Love ya-Stace

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
