Lexie and her friends are doing the same costume this year...they can't think of anything better!! They don't even eat the candy, they prefer doggie biscuits!!

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!!)

CADE THE LION...

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.
