Snowman-what?

We were lucky enough to make it to Utah one last time this year for Thanksgiving and my 30th birthday. I don't know why I didn't take any pictures-maybe I am just in a slump but I didn't hardly take any pictures. Anyhow, the only pictures I took were of Ashlyn making a snowman. I felt like these pictures were worth putting up since we live in Arizona and never get to touch the snow.

Ashlyn's Fairy Photoshoot

We have a wonderful Photographer in our ward name Steve Nissle. He is amazing and has been so kind to us. He took these pictures of Ashlyn to use in an advertisement(her first modeling job!). Anyway I think that they are beautiful and definitely worth remembering.

Car Shows with dad

Peter is such an avid car lover that I should have known my kids would love them just as much as their dad. It is to the point now that both my kids know just about every make and model of every car that they see. They love going to Car Shows with daddy and Peter loves taking them. They also love to get their pictures taken with their favorite cars.

Halloween Time!!!

Every year we find plenty of things to do for Halloween. The Fall Festival at Pathfinder elementary is one of the hits, the last couple of years we have also gone to Schnepf Farms(which is always a blast), and then of course Trick or Treating. This year Ashlyn was the singer Pink. We did our best to make her look like the rock star that she has wanted to be for the last two years, I think her costume was awesome. Ryker was Bumblebee from the movie Transformers-nothing is better than being your dad's favorite car for Halloween.

Blue Magic

This is now Ashlyn's second year playing soccer as well as my first attempt as her coach. We had a great season and I really enjoyed all the girls that I coached. I must say that Ashlyn was by far the best one on the team averaging 6 goals per game. She was not only great at scoring goals but she was also very kind and tried to help her teammates score as well. She is super fast and can take the ball away from almost anyone when she is playing defense. Here are some pictures of this years season.

All of our games were played on Fridays nights, it was always chilly but despite the cold Ryker was our biggest cheerleader.

Fall Break

This year for Fall Break we took a quick trip to Utah. We were only there for 3 full days but the highlights of the trip were going to the Pumpkin Patch with all your cousins and celebrating Ashlyn's birthday early.

A fun train ride

Ashlyn had a great birthday celebration. Grandma Connie bought Ashlyn the dog cake that she has wanted forever. Aunt Katie got her My little pony, Grandma got her Bendaroos and an outfit, and Aunt Nikki gave her a credit card which Ashlyn later used to buy her own Ipod.
