Tavonatti Crew...

Well I Hate to say it but we are totally relieved that soccer season is over!! We've been playing for ooohhhh 10 weeks now! The coach gave us the option to play tournament for 2 more weeks and all the mom's unanimously voted against then went out for a beer together!! Our Coach died laughing, and couldn't believe he wasn't invited!!!

GO GLADIATORS!!!

PLEASE just keep your eye on the ball... You can just imagine Eric's pep talks!!! And yes its still 90 degrees here too!! What the heck?

Cade and his buddy Bryson... Even the star players have to rotate out some times!!


COLE THE SHARK...

Our church had a Halloween Carnival Sleepover and the kids had a blast! Of course the face painting was the biggest hit!! But seeing everyones faces the next morning at pick up, I would say that the candy and games went over well too!! (Poor chaperones... I left at 10:00 that night and was totally done with kids, candy and carnival games!!)

Lyssa's 18 !!

Well October 10th is always a big day at our house! Its Alyssa's birthday! She makes sure we all know about a month ahead that her birthday is "just around the corner". She is very helpful about what she thinks we all should get her also. She left an enormous list on the fridge for us and had a huge "wish list" at the store where she works. And anything I buy her before the 10th does not count as a real present, ( I just learned that was a standard rule this year!) This past few months she discovered "LAY-A-WAY"! Thats a whole different story! Anyway she had a wonderful birthday dinner with about 15 girlfriends. And my friend and I made the most adorable cupcakes! The camera does not do them justice...they were soooo cute! They were huge, and the girls loved them! They were hot pink, black and white. Then for her birthday dinner with our family we went to Tahoe Joes Steak House. All of our family went (except for Ryan and Lydia who were sick), then Gerrids parents, Nick and Leslie, and Nicole and Chase (Lys and Gerrids good friends) went also. We had a fun dinner and Lys got some great gifts and then we all went to the casino to let Lys try her luck at the slots. Unfortunately she has her mothers luck...or maybe I should re-phrase that, fortunately she has my luck or we'd be out there tonight! She loved it when she was ahead but wanted her money back that they took from her! You should of seen her mood change!! And it didn't help much that Eric won $500 right after she stopped pulling the handle for him!! Although she was sooo happy for him, she couldn't help thinking it should of been her winning, after all it was her B-Day!! We had a fun time and when she laid her head on her pillow that night she was a very happy 18 year old! Next up...she gets to vote in November!!

C'mon!

Where are all the bloggers? We aren't all already giving up are we? Theres got to be SOMETHING going on in this family! I think we need a head count.

Lots and Lots and LOTS of sand!!!

Adam and I went with Tia, Lys, and Gerrid to the Dunes last weekend and met a bunch of Adam's friends. We took the Rhino and had a blast out there on the beach of endless sand! The weather was great, except for one tiny detail...the wind! Have you ever been on a dry, 2 mile wide stretch of dusty sand? Well, let me tell you I have and you wouldn't like it much at all. After about an hour ,and a couple rides, us girls headed to San Luis to enjoy shopping, lunch and asphalt!! Thats right good 'ole black top!! NO SAND!! That was all last week end and I'm still finding sand on Adam! We had a great time over all but I know that I'll be checking the weather report on the beach next time we go.

NOTHIN LIKE A BOYS TRIP

KENDALL HAS BECOME QUITE THE MOUNTAIN MAN! HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE BOYS TO TONTO CREEK TO FISH SATURDAY! THEY HAD TO HANG IN THE TENT WHILE A STORM PASSED BUT HAD GREAT WEATHER! AT HOME ME AND KATIE ENJOYED SOME MOMMY DAUGHTER TIME! SHE SURE IS SWEET WHEN RILEYS NOT BUGGIN HER!

(I HATE TO ONLY SEE MY FAMILY ON THIS THING! I KNOW YOUR LIVES ARE MORE INTERESTING THAN OURS SO LETS SEE WHAT YOU GOT!)

Any pix??

hey peg, how 'bout some pictures of your "new little golightly"????

Whose gonna be turning 18?!?!

I can't wait to be 18!!!! :] Even though there's really nothing good to it for me! I don't smoke because its gross, and gives you bad breath, i dont chew tobacco because you'll get a fat hole in your lip, OR gamble because i have HORRIBLE luck. Maybe i'll take up the Voting thing. Whose everyone voting for so i know who to vote for? McCain? Obama? Let me know so i can vote for the right person. I have work in abouuut an hour so i should probably get ready :]
Gooood Byyeee!!!

THE TRUE UNTOLD STORY...

MOM AND DAD WERE WATCHING TV WHEN MOM SAID"I'M TIRES AND ITS GETTING LATE. I THINK ILL GO TO BED." SHE WENT TO THE KITCHEN TO MAKE SANDWICHES FOR THE NEXT DAYS LUNCHES, RINSED OUT THE POPCORN BOWLS, TOOK MEAT OUT OF THE FREEZER FOR SUPPER THE FOLLOWING EVENING, CHECKED THE CEREAL BOX LEVELS, FILLED THE SUGAR CONTAINER, PUT SPOONS AND BOWLS ON THE TABLE AND STARTED THE COFFEE POT FOR BREWING THE NEXT MORNING.
SHE THEN PUT SOME WET CLOTHES IN THE DRYER, PUT A LOAD OF CLOTHES INTO THE WASHER AND IRONED A SHIRT AND SECURED A LOOSE BUTTON. SHE PICKED UP THE GAME PIECES LEFT ON THE TABLE, PUT THE PHONE BACK ON THE CHARGER, AND PUT THE PHONEBOOK BACK IN THE DRAWER. SHE THEN WATERED THE PLANTS, EMPTIED AND OVERFLOWING WASTEBASKET AND HUNG UP A TOWEL TO DRY. SHE YAWNED AND STRETCHED THEN HEADED FOR THE BEDROOM. SHE STOPPED BY THE DESK AND WROTE A NOTE TO THE TEACHER, COUNTED OUT SOME CASH FOR THE FIELD TRIP, AND PULLED A TEXTBOOK IN HIDING FROM UNDER THE CHAIR. SHE SIGNED A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A FRIEND, ADDRESSED AND STAMPED THE ENVELOPE AND WROTE A QUICK LIST FOR THE GROCERY STORE. SHE PUT BOTH NEAR HER PURSE. MOM THEN WASHED HER FACE WITH 3 IN 1 CLEANSER, PUT ON HER NIGHT SOLUTION AND AGE FIGHTING MOISTURIZER, BRUSHED AND FLOSSED HER TEETH AND FILED A NAIL.
DAD CALLED OUT "I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BED." "I'M ON MY WAY SHE SAID." SHE THEN PUT SOME WATER INTO THE DOGS DISH AND PUT THE CAT OUTSIDE, THEN MADE SURE THE DOORS WERE LOCKED AND THE PATIO LIGHT WAS ON. SHE LOOKED IN ON EACH OF THE KIDS AND TURNED OUT THERE BEDSIDE LAMPS AND TVS, HUNG A SHIRT,M THREW SOME DIRTY SOCKS IN THE HAMPER, AND HAD A BRIEF CONVERSATION WITH THE ONE STILL UP DOING HOMEWORK. IN HER OWN ROOM SHE SET HER ALARM, LAID OUT CLOTHES FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, AND STRAITENED HER SHOE RACK. SHE ADDED 3 THINGS TO HER 6 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO LIST. SHE SAID HER PRAYERS, AND VISUALIZED HER GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS .
ABOUT THAT TIME, DAD TURNED OFF THE TV AND ANNOUNCED TO NO ONE IN PARTICULAR "I'M GOING TO BED." AND HE DID...WITHOUT ANOTHER THOUGHT.
