SOCCER!! GO AUTUMN!!!

Brian helped coach Autumn's soccer team again this year. We had a really good team. The girls lost 1, tied 1, and won 8! Autumn really started to do good this season. She even scored a goal and had a lot of assists! She was the fast one all over the field! She loved playing forward and striker. Sometimes I think she would forget she was defender and play up front. She did not like being goalie.

Easter

We had our annual rolling Easter eggs down Old Main Hill event a week earlier this year. My mom was going out of town so my sister came up a week earlier to roll eggs. It is always fun and we usually have on crash (this year it was Hunter) and it always ends in an "egg-ball" fight. I don't get involved in those... they can be painful!

Hunter being a little more cautious after gaining too much speed and crashing his first run down.

The Nibley Easter egg Hunt

Having more kids has posed the problem of not being able to get pictures of everyone. This year Brian took Autumn and Brooklyn to their age group and I stayed with Hunter.

Hunter found a chick egg and was able to do a gunny sack race.

He was the smallest one there!!

Ready...Set...Go!!! He did really good. He even beat some people!

After, I found out that Autumn had also found a chick egg and won first place. She got a giant stuffed bunny.

Science Fair

Autumn and her best friend Hanna wanted to enter the school science fair. They did a good job. They had a lot of fun painting and decorating their volcano.

Showing how the volcano will erupt using baking soda and vinegar.
After all the kids got awards for participating.

Playing Catch Up- Learning to surf!!

So we were invited to go to Flowrider with my cousin Brittney and her family to celebrate Breanin's birthday. It was a lot of fun but the water was freezing!!! The water pumps had gone out earlier that week, so they couldn't heat the pool up in time. It was a lot of fun.

Here is Autumn trying the body board for the first time

(in the background is Brian...watch him carefully)

Woo hoo!! She is doing Awesome!!!
Still doing great!
(where is Brian? Crashing!)

My first attempt to surf! Kind of nervous. I don't like to crash!

I didn't do too bad for my first time. Stayed up for quite a while!

Brian was getting a little more confident so he started
trying to do a few tricks.

So we tried to get Brooklyn to ride it with the pro... But this is as far as she got!

Brian took Hunter on it! He had the biggest smile...until they crashed and went into the freezing water! But that didn't stop him from going again!

It was a lot of fun!

My Baby isn't a baby anymore!!

March 30, 2011 Today my little man turned 3 years old! Wow!!! Where does time go? Hunter is such a fun little boy. He's always entertaining everyone. He has all the Buzz Lightyear, Spiderman, and Ironman moves down. And he isn't afraid to use them on you.

Hunter was so excited to get this nerf gun! He couldn't wait to see what he could shoot!

Buzz Lightyear!!! He had to show everyone his new toy. He was so funny, that night he had to go to bed with him too! I don't know how many pictures I took of Hunter saying "cheese" but he would never look at me long enough to get a picture. He always looked away!

Hunter destroyed my front room. Oh well, all in the name of fun and presents! We tried to get him to get a "good" picture with everything he got.... yeah, that didn't happen. He had everyone laughing so hard. He kept turning his head in every direction, up, down, or side to side! it was hilarious. This was the best one I could get :)

Hunter and his new bat!! SCARY!! Better keep that one outside!

I asked Hunter what kind of cake he wanted, of course it was a pirate cake. He has been into Jake and the Neverland Pirates movie on Disney. It was going to be interesting figuring that one out. I had seen a cute cake in a magazine once, so I was determined to recreate it for Hunter.

Hopefully people can tell it's a pirate map!

Hunter found his "gold da bloom" (as Jake would say) under the X. That was a creative thing that Brian came up with. I think he had a fun day!

First Time Skiing!!

We finally took Autumn skiing for the first time. I felt kind of bad because I started skiing when I was 5 and she is now 7. It started out kind of interesting. Autumn's first run down the mountain ended up being the face. Definitely not a hill to learn how to ski on. I thought it was going to be a long frustrating day. We made it down the hill and I was ready to take off my board and help her learn how to go down a small hill. She decided she wanted to go up Gentle Ben with Brian. Surprisingly, by the time we made it half way down the mountain, she was doing great. Brian giving Autumn a little help to the catwalk. (The same one I got stuck climbing back up to)

I took these pictures my last run down the mountain. My boots were hurting me so bad that I could barely make it down the hill. I love how it is the same expression in every photo. =)

Autumn started the day going down the Face... She ended her day going down the Face. I heard she cruised down the hill. She did awesome and is excited to go again soon!!

Bowling Night

We decided to get a big group together and go bowling. I think the last time I was bowling, I was dating Brian. We got together with 2 other families, the Jensen's (Matt, Hailey, Hanah, Livie, and Teagan) and Thompson's (Shawn, Kim, Colton, Alyssa, and Tiana). It was a lot of fun!! The kids were so excited. The night couldn't come fast enough. We got two lanes and had the kids bowl on one lane and the adults on the other. I really suck at bowling, but had a good time doing it.

Autumn and one of her best friends, Hanah.

Hunter was so excited about his bowling shoes. He had to show them off.

Hunter had to throw it down all by himself. It took FOREVER to get to the end. Good thing for bumper bowling.
Me and my boy!
Brooklyn was the pro at bowling. She out-scored all of us, including the adults.

I'm not exactly sure what was going on, but they were attacking Autumn and everyone was giggling!
It was a fun night. We will definitely have to go again!
