Gavin is not a big cake person, but I made him a cupcake so he could at least blow out the candle. Then the kids made their own ice cream sundaes:) It all turned out great!</div>

The kids have already started school, like a month ago! But I am further behind than that, so instead you get a few pics from our last days of summer! This summer was short, but jam packed with VBS's, swimming, movies, play dates and a trip to Flagstaff. It was over quickly, but it was the perfect amount of time off. We even got a few monsoons in there making the weather somewhat bearable :) <br />
This is how we spent our last few days before the boys started school:<br />

Oh how the time is flying by. We have been busy ( I know this surprises everyone) with 2 kids in football, end of the school year prep, lots of photography, and trying to fit in training for a marathon and 1/2 marathon! So it's time to play a little catch up. Enjoy:<br />
<br />
<br />
This year, Kaden played his 3rd season with his football team the Bulldogs, and has been excelling as both receiver and now Quarterback.<br />

And then there is Gavin....we weren't sure how this sweet boy was going to do because he is just not as aggressive as Kaden. It only took one game to see that he is a natural. He ran the ball like crazy and got 2-3 touchdowns a game. I am a proud mama!</div>

Kaden has 2 weeks off for Spring Break so Joel and I planned a Disneyland trip since we hadn't gone in two years. We decided to keep it a secret and not tell them until the morning we left! We spent the first week of Spring Break playing outside, going to the zoo, going to the park, goofy golfing, and going to the movies. When we started the second week of Break, we told them we were going to Disneyland and they didn't believe us! Especially Kaden, he thought we were messing with him. But, when they went out to the car and saw it all packed up they were ecstatic! We arrived around 4:30pm, changed, and headed straight to the park!</div>

Sorry, but you will have to bare with me!<br />
So, at the beginning of the year Joel set a goal to run his first (and only, he has already decided!) Marathon. We picked the date, San Diego Rock n Roll on June 3rd, and then I got him started on a training plan! I had heard of a new 1/2 marathon in March, and it worked out perfectly with Joel's training so we signed him up. I decided since it was the week after Ragnar, that I would just do the 10k.<br />
As it got closer, he told me he wasn't looking forward to it...not because his training hasn't been going well, (quite the contrary, he has gotten so much faster!) but because he doesn't really like running (I know, how are we married??).<br />
He set his original goal for finishing in under 2 1/2 hours. As his training got better, he decided he wanted to finish in under 2 hours (we are a little competitive in this household!)<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
I fnished the 10k, met up with my parents and the kids, and then waited for Joel to come through!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's that time of year again, where I get my favorite group of girls together to torture oursleves with two days of non-stop running. However, this year I had the grand idea that we should make it more challenging. Ragnar was "been there, done that," for me, so why not make it more interesting. I convinced 5 other crazy girls to make an Ultra team with me. So, six girls (1/2 the amount of a normal team, double the amount of running!), lots of running and driving, and VERY limited sleep = ...one of my favorite weekends ever! Meet, the Sparktacular Six Ultra team!!</span></div>

Seriously, if you know, please tell me! <br />
It seems like between Basketball in full force, plus Kaden starting Football again, Joel in his Masters program, and me being a taxi and snack giver all day long, that there isn't enough time in the day. Sigghhh.<br />
Annnnd, because that wasn't busy enough, Joel and I have been working on a new project/Business. <br />
Introducing:<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/AZAndersonPhotography">Anderson Photography</a></strong><br />
<br />
Joel and I purchased a new camera a little before Christmas, and we love it. We have always had a passion for Photography, and we are loving what we are learning. We have takne a class, and have a couple more classes coming up too. We have had some great opportunity through friends, family, and word of mouth, to build up our portfolio. Now we are lucky enough to be booking some actual sessions! We are hoping to build a healthy little side business, while getting to do something we are passionate about!<br />
So, if you know anyone looking for a photographer.....Jasmynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09636195950429194644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504714652474656348.post-37917896324556312882012-01-22T18:41:00.002-07:002012-01-22T18:41:52.012-07:00Basketball!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> It just seems to get busier and busier around here! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Last week wrapped up Kaden's second season of Football. He did so well this year. He played Quarterback most of the time, but then ended up playing lots of Defense too because he is such an awesome tackler! He played every game like an animal, and only suffered one bloody lip, and knocked one tooth loose! The last game was against a team we had already tied with once in the season, so we really wanted to beat them. <br />

(part 1)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">October is one of the most stressful months for me....two birthdays, two days apart, plus Halloween, and Fall Break in the middle of it all! I wanted to throw Kaden a party for his friends a couple days after his birthday, but so many of our friends were going to be out of town that we decided to do it the week before. This year Kaden wanted a "Minute to Win It" themed party. It was a blast! I had fun practicing all the games too :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My baby girl, who I hoped and prayed for since the first time I was pregnant, is now two. TWO! These past 2 years have gone by faster than any others, probably because life is always a little hectic and crazy in our home. Things are never dull, or quiet for that matter :)<br />
<br />
Oh my sweet Zoey....2 years ago God added you to our family and you were born into the chaos of 2 crazy and fun older brothers, a super protective and vocal dad, and of course, a perfect mommy (hey, I am writing this so I can put whatever I want, right?). I was so excited to break up the reign of testosterone in our house with my sweet, gentle little princess. Well, I was right about the princess, but I am not so sure about the gentle and sweet part. You definately have your girly qualities, which I love! you love, love, love, babies. Real ones, but especially your dolls. You love to give them kisses and hugs. You also love princesses, and trying on mommies shoes. You are already stealing my make-up too! I often find you wandering around with my blush brush and a big smile on your face. You love to have your toes painted pink, and then say "pretty toes mama." You are not too big on your hair being done, or sitting still for me, but you have the most gorgeous hair I have ever seen, and always like looking in the mirror after I am done. You have the best mroning hair ever. When I get you up in the morning, you ask for a bow, and once I swoop your hair to the side, you look like I ust spent an hour blow drying it with a round brush! (I may be a little jealous about that one.)<br />
<br />
But there is a whole other side to you Zoey. You are spunky, fiesty, and a little crazy! You have very little fear. You love to get dirty, and get right in there with the boys.You love to wrestle, play football, and play with the boys' cars and action figures. I love it! You also love to eat, and girlfriend, you can hold your own at the table. There is nothing petite about you, no you are gonna be tall and athletic just like your daddy. You will probably be beating the boys up on the playground before we know it, because they took a ball from you or looked at you funny. Did I mention that you are drop dead gorgeous? We are gonna be in trouble.....you will be a teenagers dream: a girl that likes cars and is one of the guys, but is so beautiful guys can't take their eyes off you! Thank goodness you have 3 big boys that will be looking after you :)<br />
<br />
Lastly, a few things you like: Dora, Dora, and Dora!!! doggies (when they don't lick you), milk, singing twinkle twinkle and your ABC's, dancing (and girl you can move!), jumping, your baby and blanky, sunglasses, otterpops, treats, finding pens and drawing on yourself, and stickers!<br />
<br />
Oh my sweet Zoey, I look forward to what the years hold for you, and though I want you to stay little forever, I am excited to see you grow. Thank you for being sweet, spunky, adorable, lovable, and the perfect little girl a mom could ask for.<br />

<div align="center">Seriously??? Well, I did it....I blinked and now my baby boy has just turned 6!! It sounds soooo old, I cannot believe it. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">So, where do I possibly start? Kaden, you are so very special. You were the first of 3 to so wonderfully change our lives. You started off as the easiest baby- EVER! Even in the womb, I loved being pregnant with you. You were the best sleeper, the best eater, and you hardly ever cried! Then, at about 2 years old you learned to talk...and so the roller coaster began (always fun, but crazy and scary at times!).</div><div align="center">You are fearless..FEARLESS!! Riding your bike at 3, then a real quad, then a real Dirt Bike at age 4, and quickly moved to tackle football at age 5. You have caused my hair to start turning gray....on more than one occasion. You are smart, usually too smart for your own good. You are 6 going on 16. Seriously, sometimes I feel like I am talking to a teenager! You like to argue...a lot. But we are working on that-daily :) You have made me cry both tears of pure joy and pure frustration....but through it I draw closer to God and I see you do the same. You have a giving, kind, loving heart. You love reading God's word and have so many questions. I love to see how much you are learning at church and at school. You are so inquisitive...sometimes it drives me nuts, but most of the time I love seeing how your brain works!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Some of your favorite things at age six are: Spiderman, motorcycles, riding bikes, riding your dirt bike, helping dad mow the lawn, lego heros, puzzles, drawing and coloring, any kind of craft, playing games on my iphone, watching Saturday morning cartoons, rollercoasters, wrestling with your brother and sister, and eating anything you can get your hands on, all. day. long. ("mom can I please have something else to eat, I am starving!")</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">You keep me on my toes, you bring me to my knees, you challenge me (in a good way). I love you more than you could ever know. Thank you for always forgiving me when I mess up, and for being the son we dreamed about when we so desperately wanted to expand our family :)</div><div align="center"><br />

He actually started almost 3 weeks ago, because his school is the modified year round schedule. We got the call in early July that he got in to Edu-Prize ( the charter we were hoping for) and we were thrilled. We weren't ready to send him to full day Kinder yet, so we were so happy to find out there was a spot in the afternoon class. He goes everyday from 1:15 -3:45 and he loves it! By 10am every morning he is usually asking "is it time to go to school yet????" His teacher's name is Mrs. Nisbet, and I love her. She is very sweet and patient! He has already learned so much, and I am so glad the he is at Edu-Prize.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics from his first day of school!!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh Gavin, how I love you! You are such the middle child, and you have the perfect personality for it. You are kind, and sweet, and loving, and a little more sensitive than your siblings. You love everything that has to do with cars and trucks, and you love love love when I read you stories.....way more than watching tv (which most of the time, I love - but sometimes....). Your favorite restaurants are "old Mcdonalds" and the QT. Your favorite food groups are icees and candy and corndogs....a boy after my own heart. You are a little bit of a Mama's boy, but you still love to wrestle with Dad. You love it when I rub your belly at bedtime, and when your not tired you get up and find ailments to complain about (mom, there is something poking in my arm, I'm trying to go to sleep but it keeps poking me!). You are so darn cute when you do it, I can't even get mad at you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You are witty, and say things that crack me up all. the. time. You are smart too! You will be starting pre-k soon, and you love to do your letters and sounds. You have a little fettish with numbers too....You are always making up your own age, and the age of others...I think last week I was 99...I have obviously aged well! You can already count to 50 by yourself and this year we took your training wheels off and you learned to ride your Quad really well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You are officially turning into a big boy....I keep asking you to stop but you just don't listen!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am excited to see what this next year holds for you, and I am thankful everyday that God gave you to us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
