Spring cuts/sports

I decided since June is just around the corner it was time for buzz cuts. I got the above picture just by snapping and not asking them to pose. I asked them to pose nicely for a picture and this is what I got...seriously, Heidi, how do you do it?
James is giving batting pointers to our future Giants players



Watch out neighborhood...Mo is more mobile than ever! I wish this kid had some fear and would slow down. We have had construction on our street corner for the past few weeks and one side has been closed. It has been so nice to pretend to live on a cul-de-sac. My kids are loving riding all over our street without the car traffic.


My mom and dad gave Sam this MP3 player for his birthday. He loves to rock out with Mo. Right now our house is rockin out to "Dynamite", which is the Giants' Club song at their stadium this summer.

Another season of coaching Sam's soccer team. It is so fun to watch their skills develop. Sam is the little speedster on the field. He is loving soccer and hustles all over the field. He gets quite ticked off at mom/coach when he gets subbed out, especially if he has not scored in the game and feels he is owed more playing time.

Jardines are back blogging!!!

My camera broke last November...so sad! James has been taking pictures on his phone...which are not bad, but I miss my camera. Here is what we have been up to this spring:
A trip to Moab. Don't try to run a half marathon when you are sick....miserable slowness! Great weekend with my family and friends though.



We got away from the miserable, snowy, cold, spring of Salt Lake and went to St. George with Reed and Heidi at the beginning of April. Heidi was nice to send me her pictures, as I was without a camera the whole time. Here are some of my favorites.



Reed's kids had never been to St. George or Zion. Zion is full of fun memories and family reunions. I am so glad we got to go. It was the last day you could drive your car through the park. The next day they started the shuttle buses.



We all had bikes down there. Reed, Caleb, and I even got to go mountain biking on this way fun trail right by the Jardines' condo. I couldn't believe how awesome Caleb did. Some of the downhill parts I had a hard time keeping up with him. Our last night there we spent all evening riding around the neighborhood on our bikes; racing each other, making an ice cream run. It felt like a summer evening.

We even swam outside at the Stewart's pool Saturday afternoon, only to drive home the next day in snow....another month of cold.

For Mother's Day my family gave me a camera! I even got it a few days early so I could document Sam's birthday party.


Sam had a sports party for his 7th Birthday;
10 boys + balls+ bounce house = crazy fun!






We of course had a pinata for May 5th


It was a fun weekend. Sam had his party Friday night. He went to 2 birthday parties on Saturday, with a soccer game in between. Spring is busy. We are loving soccer (when it is not snowing). I am coaching Sam's team again this Spring.
