Just the Boyz!

One tired boy!!!

We were all sitting around one night watching Cruise jump in his jumper, totally laughing and having a crazy fun time, and then all of a sudden, like someone flipped a switch, this happened in the space of about 10 seconds.........

You Gotta Love It!!!

It's Catch-Up Time...Once Again!

Wow, I'm really behind. Just when I think I'm keeping up - I realize just how long it's been since my last post and how many things have happened since! Fortunately, Brighton wanted to post about the 5K we did as a family so that one was covered. Now, I just have a few more batches of pictures to post about. Here goes nothing...

Cougar's 2nd birthday party -
He was so cute. I think he actually had an idea of what was happening. He was totally excited to blow out candles, I was surprised when he really tried to blow at them and was smiling the whole time. Then, he sat so patiently while waiting for someone to tell him he could open up his presents. Afterwards I told him he needed to say thank-you to everyone. I walked him around and he smiled and said thank-you in his sweet little voice to anyone who would listen.

Cougar and Cruise and their matching PJs -

Brighton's last soccer game -

Running With Angels

My family and I did a 5k. It was called Running With Angels. It was really fun! I'm really glad we did it. We ran through Thanksgiving Point Gardens, it was very pretty. It was easy and fun. We saw Mrs. Chadwick a third grade teacher at Alpine Elementary doing it to. We all got t-shirts, a water bottle, a bag, chapstick and a wrist band. I hope we do more this summer! Here are some pics that we took. Brighton Waiting at the starting line.

Along the route.

Crossing the finish line!

Cougar and Cruise.

After the race, eating and resting.

Happy Birthday, Cougar!

Today, my little buddy, Cougar, turns 2.The kid knows how to make an appearance -- arriving during the second half of the famous Jazz-Warriors playoff game where Derek Fisher -- after attending to his seriously ill daughter in New York -- flew back, entering the arena to a standing ovation, for the fourth quarter and OT of a Jazz victory. (Not that we were watching any of the game, mind you.)

So happy birthday, Cougar!
Thanks for making our lives so eventful!

Love, Dad

Flour Power!

You talkin' to me?

Neener, neener, neener!

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone.

Got a Cougar by the tail.

Watching Dad play softball in the rain in Mesquite, Nev.

Cougar is a genuinely happy kid -- always smiling. It makes me think he's up to something.

Stylin'! With apologies to Corey Hart, Cougar also wears his sunglasses at night.

Hope of America!

This year we were lucky to have both Nevada and Brighton involved in Hope of America. Nevada was part of the human flag that filled the south side of the Marriott Center. The fifth graders all wore either a red, white, blue or yellow shirt and sat so that they made a flag with a yellow border around it. Nevada wore a yellow shirt and was part of the border. The flag group was the chorus and sang songs throughout the program while other groups performed dances on the floor.

The fourth grade from Alpine Elementary did a dance to a song called "The United States of America" and Brighton was a Southern belle. She represented the state of Virginia. There were also Hawaiian girls, cowboys and baseball players. She wanted to be a Southern belle so she could wear the cool hoop skirts that they had as part of the costume. They all started practicing a few months ago, so they really knew what they were doing and did a fantastic job. My mom and Doug's parents came to see them as well.

We are so proud of them for their hard work and the GREAT job they both did. It was a fun, enjoyable evening and I am so glad that they both had the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful program that teaches about freedom, equal rights, our country and striving to be a good citizen and human being.

Way to go, girls!!

What's the deal?

So, I'm sitting here with a package of Double Stuf Oreos in my lap, trying to figure out why I just keeping gaining weight...hmmm.
