Bchlorette Weekend

My friend April (Lain's mom) is getting married at the end of September.  So to celebrate we had a girls Bachlorette Party weekend in Phoenix.  We stayed at a resort, hung by the pool drinking cocktails, got pedicures, went to a nice dinner at Rustlers Rooste on top of South Mountain, played games and overall  had an amazing fun, relaxing weekend with a great bunch of ladies.

I am down 22lbs now, still not sure i was ready for the bikini, but had to try, needed some color on my belly.  =}  I didn't care I wasn't there to impress anyone, I already have the love of my life.  =)

After hanging out most of Sunday morning we decided to leave the resort and get some lunch before we went our seperate ways.  We had such a great time, can't wait for the wedding next weekend.  =)

Oh wait!  So you ask where were the girls?

 with Grandma and Grandpa of course!  Dan had to work so I took them down to Phoenix with me and dropped them off to Grandma and Grandpa for a sleepover, they all enjoyed their time together

 Grandma bought them play-doh, the were in heaven.

Soccer

Soccer season has started, which means we are busy every Saturday from now until November.  =)  Dan is the coach of our team and David and I are his assistants, this has been a learning experience for all of us so far.  The kids are having a blast and really enjoying playing especially with their friends.

 At our parent meeting we let the kids come up with our team name, they chose Blue Thunder Dragons.  =)  So here is our 2012 Blue Thunder Dragons

Zeno, Kai, Reece, Ashley, Levi & Arlo

 Our 1st practice was good, the guys really got to know the kids better and learn how to coach each kid so they were successful.

 They found this HUGE Caterpillar after practice.

OUR 1st GAME...Saturday, September 15th

We played the green Tornadoes, funny thing is we are a team of 5 boys and 1 girl and they were a team of 5 girls and 1 boy.  Heath and Addie two of Ashley's other good friends were on the Tornadoes.  She also had 2 classmates on the Tornadoes team.

 Let's get this game started!!

 Arlo gets a goal!

 The kids played a good game, even thought they arent suposed to keep score I did and we lost 6-2.

So after the game I buckle Allison up in her car seat, close the door and go to get in, yeah didn't realize all the doors were locked with my keys inside, had to call the Fire Department to come un lock the doors.  =} Yes, I paid my debit to them and dropped ice cream off to them later that day.  

Our 2nd game was to be played on Saturday, September 22, but we ended up having to forfeit, Arlo & Zeno were out of town and Kai and Reece ended up super sick the day before.  But we should be ready to go this coming week for Game 3.  Let me know if you would like to come see a soccer game and I will get you the info.  =)
