Can you say "Soccer Mom" ?

Made these cupcakes for the team after practice one day, for our parents meeting. They were gone in about 2.3 seconds.

This kid has been smiling alot lately! Yeah!! Brad & I took 15 boys from the team down plus our own other 3 kids to the SUU Utah Summer Games for 4 days. We had a blast! They were so much fun all week and we had great support of the parents who met us down there. We made it a mini-vacation, doing a hike in Red Cliffe's Canyon and cliff diving, swimming, eating out every night, and we even got a movie in, and of course watched lots & lots of soccer.

When I say we took the team, I mean Brad seriously took the team down in a 15-passenger van, and I followed him in the truck with all the gear and bags. Our first stop at a Walmart and I came out to see the boys writing all this on my windows. They were so excited. I wish I got a pic of the van, they wrote all their names and #'s on it. We got home late Saturday, so it took a couple days for us to wash it off. But good thing, because it got Brad out of a speeding ticket the next week on the freeway on the way to his first day back to work for Mellor Eng. LOL!

My Sugar-Addie is 11!!!!

We call her Sugar, because she is so stinkin sweeet! She is constantly asking if there is anything else she can do for me, and loves playing with the little kids. She is always thinking of others, and leaving little notes for them. I can't believe she is 11, and going on to 6th grade! (Thank goodness they moved it back to Elementary School, I don't think I'm ready for another Jr.Higher.) Addie has just decided she might want to try soccer-again-but has been really dedicated at the piano. I never have to ask her if she is ready for lessons, and I love to hear her practice while I am cooking dinner. She has also come to the conclusion it's okay to be the only girl in the family, because she can do crafts, lunch, and shopping with mom all to herself. We love her soooo much!!
