Here are some scattered phone pictures from the last few weeks.

After she got caught secretly putting on Mom's make-up.

What is that falling from the sky-- SNOW!  It was gone a few hours later but it is a warm up for what is coming.  The kids were THRILLED!:

 The Fall Festival at Kai's school was super awesome and fun.  Best part was Lance made it for the last part so he could tour his old elementary school stomping grounds with Kai: 

 *The kids thought this 3 story slide was awesome!

Love finding treasures on my phone of the kids selfies.  Rori took this one of herself while cuddled under a blanket at one of Kai's football games.  Something about it keeps drawing me in:

Fall 2013 Sports

Rori's been playing lots of soccer which she has really enjoyed.  She's super fast and usually the one to catch up to the other team when they have a break away.  The coach has let her play a ton in the games which we've felt a tad guilty about as other kids have spent a lot more time on the sidelines.  She loves it though and is happy to keep going.    

*Pretty excited after scoring a goal.

Kai has been loving flag football.  He will tell you that football is currently his favorite sport.  He tends to fall in love with whatever he is playing at the moment so we will see.  The flag football here has definitely been much more relaxed than in Vegas.  We figured it would be as it was at a very high level in Vegas and we knew that this was just a rec league.  Kai has had fun though and has enjoyed being a much needed leader on his team.  He's thrown passes as quarterback, scored a bunch of touchdowns, and last game he even intercepted the ball in his endzone and then ran it back for a touchdown which was super exciting.  He's gained a lot of confidence which has been great and kept a great attitude despite some possibly frustrating things out of his control.

 *Kai had fun playing his cousin Jack's team for 1 of the games.

 

 

A Long Weekend

We knew when we moved that there would be a weekend in later September where Lance would have to stay in Vegas for a conference for work.  I was dreading the idea of 2 weeks without him.  But we pushed through and thanks to sports, and activities with friends and family we had quite a busy weekend when he was gone which helped it pass quickly.  The following weekend he arranged it to come in late Thursday night instead of the regular Friday night and surprise the kids with an extra day.   The timing worked out great as the kids had that Friday off of school.  I went and picked him up at the airport after they had gone to bed so the next morning they were pretty shocked to find him when they woke up.  It was awesome.  We had lots of fun on Friday hanging out, playing, hitting some wiffle balls in the yard for golf practice, getting hot chocolate at our favorite place, and taking a little trip to the Planetarium.  Kai continues to be way in to space so he loved it and there were lots of fun things for the girls to enjoy as well.  It was so nice to have an extra day together.  Saturday's are super fun but are pretty busy with football and soccer games and regular life to do's so it was nice to have a fun  extra day.
