My little soccer player!



Jane loved her first soccer game today! It was cold, but not snowing. I was worried she wouldn't like playing in the cold, but she had a smile on her face the whole time!

Treats at the end of the game might have been the favorite part!


Jane and her friend, Abby. I'm so glad she has a friend on the team!


Look at that amazing form!

The funny thing was that they haven't even had a practice yet! So hopefully she will understand the game a little more as they have more practices. She did remember that she couldn't use her hands. She chased after the ball, and even got a few good kicks in. It was fun to watch, but a little cold for Alex, Ryan, and me, so we watched mostly from the car. I look forward to some warmer weather games!

Vegas Baby!!

We went down to Vegas this past weekend for a wedding. Jeff's cousin, Dave got married to Elyssa and the wedding was just beautiful!


Here are the beautiful bridesmaids:


The kids had so much fun at the reception! They ran around eating whatever they could reach and playing with all the kids. And they have all those wonderful bridesmaids (who are all Jeff's cousins, Dave's sisters) to play with too! And Alex was happy to always have someone to hold him.



The next day we went to Caesar's Palace to see the aquarium and go to FAO Schwarz. The aquarium (and by aquarium, I mean just the 1 giant fish tank) was great, but apparently the toy store has closed. And this is where my camera dies and I never got around to buying new batteries! Very typical of any vacation it seems.

We spent the rest of our time there hanging out with friends and family. The kids were amazing and slept great in the hotel and were very good during our drives to and from Vegas. Even Alex did well! I was so nervous about him, but we was my good baby like usual! The only time they all lost it was when we came to a dead stop on the freeway because of an accident. We were just past Payson! SO close to home and then it took us over an hour to finally get there. When we got home the kids were happy to be back with their own things. Jane came in and said, "Do you know why I'm crying a little? It's because I'm just so happy to be home!" Silly girl!

My Little Helper

I have a little helper, and her name is Jane! She will help me with Alex at anytime and especially loves to hold him. Today I walked in and found this:

Apparently she had to help with both brothers and they both needed her at the same time! (Ryan was pretending to be a baby and Jane was his mom)

Jane was sick a couple weeks ago and I missed having her extra pair of hands. I am so thankful she is better and can help me again. And I think Alex missed his 2nd mom too :)

a little self control

Yesterday Jane was holding Alex and called me in and said, "come take your baby." She was mad because Alex was pulling her hair and grabbing her face. I tried to explain to her that little babies can't control their arms.

That night Jane was praying and asked Heavenly Father to help Alex control himself. :)
