update...

these pictures are from my phone- so they are kind of crappy, but dave has my camera in australia and what good is a post without pictures??


So once again two months have gone by since I've posted, so here is the update...

I went on my first FREE FLIGHT with Jet Blue!!
Me and Carrie (my sis-in-law) Who also works for jet blue decided we just needed to go...So we grabbed our friends and New York City we went! We took a flight to long beach-then the red eye to Boston and then finally made it to NYC. We walked and walked and shopped and shopped and ate and ate! A few highlights...
Mary Poppins on Broadway! (amazing! The set was fabulous and Mary was incredible!)
Frozen Hot chocolate at Serendipity! The wait was over two hours and the bill was high- but they aren't kidding when they say the frozen hot chocolate is the best!!
Dylans candy factory- A little piece of heaven, candy on every wall and cupcakes to die for!
Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, and ground zero...The last time I was in new york was one month after 9/11.
Canal street and meeting Baboo- or whatever his name was! ha ha!

We tried to go to the today show and see some 10 year old teeny bopper. We thought we'd be able to get right up front, but boy were we wrong! We couldn't even see the stage! I guess this teeny bopper is pretty good...I don't even remember his name!

It was a fun trip! Thanks girls! Until next time!! Pictures coming soon...

The weekend after new york I spent two days at SILVER WOLF training. For those of you who don't know what Silver Wolf is, let me explain. Lot of Adults acting like nine year olds, screaming, and chanting and cheering for two straight days. I also got to meet a Kangaroo by the name of Roxie who was six months old and the cutest thing ever. Who needs a dog? or a baby for that matter? I want a Kangaroo!
Besides the mice and SUPER HAPPY CRAZY PEOPLE, I had fun and got to spend some time with my good friend Tara!

Dax is already turning into a two year old. He has been SO MAD at me for being gone so much. He flips out if I leave the room without him. In fact, tonight is the first night he has been really happy. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my Dax man is back! He has such a funny way of talking. He can say quite a few words, but it's the way he says them. Always drags his words out and the pitch goes up (way up) at the end of the word. Almost like he's singing. By the end of the day it's quite annoying, but it will be fun to tease him when he's older! And just for the record, I made a post a while back about what words he was saying, And I left out the most important word...Pa Pa. I am pretty sure this was his first word- and I know it's still his favorite word!! He loves his Papa's!!

Cade is my usual Cade. He has been loving soccer this season and I have to admit he is the MVP. He scores anywhere from 3 to 6 goals, and I think he has the game figured out! He waits back until someone kicks it away from all the kids and then he just goes and takes it all the way down the field to score! The last few games he's been "blocking the goal"- his league isn't supposed to have goalies, but he knows that if he stands in front of the goal, they can't kick it in. He's not just all looks after all!

And Austin is growing like weed! We pulled out all of his pants from last year, and I can't believe that they are all total floods on him! He's going to be taller than me before too long! He's doing great reading and even though he thinks he doesn't like school, I know he does. His teacher always sends home notes of what a great student he is. He rides his scooter every morning and he plays on the monkey bars all during recess. He is awesome on them. He can skip bars and go backwards!
This year in soccer it is starting to feel like real soccer. They have refs and their goals are starting to get bigger, and the coaches are more intense. (I don't know if I'm ready for crazy competitive coaches and fans...!) I think he is figuring out that he like to play defense instead of offense, but he's scored quite a few goals this year too.
He still gets comments daily on his "beautiful red hair" and that is something I will always remember about him. Even as a baby, you couldn't go anywhere without someone commenting about his hair. And I have to admit, he is pretty dang handsome. I love his brown eyes!

Dave is in Australia this week! He is so lucky! He is there for work and he is loving it! It's hard having him so far away because I've only gotten to talk to him once, but we are getting pretty good at emailing! He has to go back the end of November and I will probably go with him- so that will be fun!!

Tonight for Family Home Evening we picked pumpkins and painted them. Austin reminded me that we were only having "half family home evening, because daddy is not here"...but you get the point. Lots of paint, a big mess and three happy boys! Happy Halloween!!!
