OK this one made it off the Soccer Blog

This game Kaija played in was Brilliant for her. She was all super Star. We had a blast watching her take on 4 players and win the ball. This is why I get so jazzed about soccer.

Happiness

I seriously want to look and feel that happy. I think I would feel young everyday of my life if I laughed like that. Evie is just laughing up a storm in her pictures. I love to see all of the recent photos of her. It does remind me of how much I wish I could see my niece and nephew more often. KEVIN...Job KC!!!!!

Our Friends the Benichs

Back in the beginning of the summer my good friend Jamie had her 4th son Michael Benich. This is a picture of all the boys. Nathan to the left, Matthew in the Middle, Kaija's man Connor holding Michael. They were great friend from Kansas til they went home to UT. We get to visit when we go west and they have been to visit us. They are the best. Jam is the best mom. It looks like it has been a year of babies for my friends some have reminded me of this and asked or thought rather that it must be my turn. Sorry guys I'm thinking the diaper stage has sailed now that I have tasted independance and virtually gone broke from all of their activities and coaching fees. Besides I got my boy and have my great girls I am more than good with what I have.

Many faces of Kaija

Wow Kaija, Too big for a mothers heart. Almost 11, ready to babysit and showing every sign of being a young lady. Here are some hilarious clips of her making crazy poses one day before we went out somewhere. She loves to be crazy. Its the daddy person in her. She loves his crazy stories and being wacky and zaney, definately not her mother. Cute just the same. I think only parents like this stuff but pictures always tell something about someone.

My sweet Niece

Mom and Dad retired in June, so Cady brought Coel and Eve for the party in their honor. I just could'nt get enough of my little Evie. She is so petite and delicate and the girls just eat her up. Cady and I went to visit a friend that is going through some of the same things Cady went through with Caed and Kaija got to baby sit. She played with her and held her and when the girls went to get ready for dinner they took her upstairs to teach her all about being a cute little girl. We only wish we saw them all more often.
