Kick This!!

Brenna started playing soccer and has been having a blast.  The first few games she had a hard time, partly because it was cold an partly because she has never played before.  she would kick the ball once and stand there and not chase after it.  She even had a few meltdowns right on the field.  But by her third game she was awesome!!!  She scored 4 goals and was the only one on her team to score.  she was running up and down taht filed after the ball and didn't ahve one meltdown.  She had a blast!  Her first goal, I did get it on camera but because I was so excited I forgot I wa sfilming so all you see is grass and sky swirling about and me screeching. (yes I have turned into the annoying mom that schreeches at the games).  I did get a few of her other goals though. =) I lov ethe one where she throws the ball in.  No one is open so she throws it down field and gets it herself =)

Outside fun =)

Every once in awhile Mother Nature has decided to give us actual spring weather.  When this happens, the kids usually spend all day outside. 

Ian loves to swing with his sister.  Brenna is liking that Ian is finally getting big enough to play more with her.

This is Ian's version of playing soccer.  He was hitting Sasha's chew toy with a bat.  I guess this is baseball, golf, and soccer all rolled up into one. =)

Ian loves to jump on the trampoline.  When he first got on there all he would do is sit.  Nobody could jump or bounce or do anything.  Jason would get on with him and gradually got him used to bouncing, he especially loves it when Jason falls down and goes "boom." (that's when he lands on his butt) 

Now he's turning into a pro, at least as much as a 2 year old can do.  He loves to get on with Brenna, as long as she doesn't jump too high.  Brenna will spend all day on the trampoline.  I wish I had their energy to do as much as they do.

Grandma and Grandpa came to town =)

 Jason's parents came up for a quick visit last weekend.  The kids were so excited to see them!  We didn't tell Brenna they were coming, just said she would have a surprise on Saturday. 

Brenna loves to show off her new kindergarten skills to Grandma.  One thing that they always do together is read.  Now Brenna gets to help read parts of the stories.

Ian was being a total Grandpa's boy the whole time.  They had lots of fun =).  Grandpa always brings his bag of gadgets and gizmos and that kept the kids entertained for hours!

Uncle Dallin came to visit too.  He is the kids' favorite play toy.  This is Sasha's old kennel.  I think even Sasha was in there with them at one point.  Such a fun uncle!  (and he's single =P so if you know any great gals.......)
