Bow down and worship the blogging goddess!!! See below......

Waxy, Waxy!!

HA HA HA HA.....I love this picture, it reminds me of the pain he went through each time Bobbi filled his nose with wax and a stick then PULLED!!!!! Poor B.....the crap we talk him into!!

Oly's soccer team!!

How freaking adorable are they?? Their coach is the one in the blue shirt!! This is the Rampage tournament they took second in!!

bAcK tO sChOoL!!!

Jensyn....6th grade!!
Riley 8th (freaking) grade......I feel sooo old!!
The three "little ones" as I call them, guess I can't call them that anymore....3rd, 2nd, and 1st grades!! They said they would name the school after us this year, it is now Pence Park Elementary!! HAHA
Don' t ask me what Cash is doing in this picture.....he is soooo weird!!

Well, it is that time of year again!! I cannot believe how FAST summer went by. The kids were bouncing off the walls the night before and were all awake very early ready to get to school!! Hanna was kind of nervous to go to first grade....her teacher is a BOY and he has a PONYTAIL!! She was soooooo freaked out by that (not judgemental at all is she?!?). Anyways at Back to School night, I had to CARRY her big ol' first grade bum into the room to say hello....I am so glad that by the next morning she had decided he was ok, she walked right in ready to go!!

It seems so strange to have EVERYONE in ALL DAY school !! (imagine me doing a little happy dance with a big smile on my face) I actually almost got bored today (notice I said almost)!! It will seem weird to come home from work at noon and have afternoon to myself.....although as Jensyn reminds me evertime I say this "well, I will be home by like 2:30 ya know!"....haha, if only they knew how great 2-3 hours alone is!!

Just an update on our little "zoo" we have at home....cash just got a hermit crab (Crabby....shocking name right?) to add to our petting zoo!! We are so crazy!! And I am bottlefeeding a kitten again.....stupid feral mammas!!

PTA....uggghhh

Ok, so I am totally disliking PTA right now!! I am feeling soooo overwhelmed with everything that has to get done for back to school night (i had no idea how much the PTA did for that!!)!! I feel like I am constantly on the phone or in my notes looking over PTA stuff.....and making and remaking lists of what needs to be done before thus and such a date!!

Anyways, I won't complain about PTA any longer....WHY??? Cuz I am so freaking excited to go to CALIFORNIA to see WICKED with Cort and Cha!!! I am leaving and going out over Labor Day weekend!! I am soooooo excited!!!

THEN, on September 7th we are going (back out) to Denver to (hopefully, cross your fingers for no illness or bad weather) see FOO FIGHTERS in concert!!! I am so stoked!! I hope we really get to see them this time!!

Anyways.....just wanted to quickly update for all of you. School will be starting on the 21st and I will probably be drowning in PTA crap and won't even have time to blog (sigh)...poor me. HAHA!! I will try to get on here and update more, seeing how EVERYONE of the kids is in FULL DAY school....YEE HAW!!! I never thought I would see this day arrive....there was a time when I had a little assembly line of baby bums to change and thought they and I would be stuck there forever!!

Sorry there are no new pics....this new camera is too advanced for me to add pictures onto my computer. I will have to work on that!!

C'mon catch up....

Ok, so sorry this post will not have any photos (another day I guess...)!!

Here is a quick update on what has been going on the last little bit with our fam:

Olyvia's soccer team, Zehno's, went to their first tournament in Roy, Utah and took second place!! They were awesome, especially since this was the first time they had played in a game setting as a team!! Our first two games were absolute blow outs!! We beat them like 12-1 and 14-1 or something like that!! Then we ran into a team that was really good (they have played together for over a year and have been playing boys teams!) and they beat us (9-3 maybe??). The fourth team we beat, which put us into the championship game playing the good team again (the are called La Roca :( )!! We played them really hard that second game and they only beat us 5-3. The girls did great!!!

We also went to Island Park and West Yellowstone as a family. We stayed in Mom and Dad's trailer (what an experience to have 7 people crammed into such a small space)!! We took the kids into West Yellowstone and shopped, ate, and went to the Playmill. The kids always enjoy the Playmill, its crazy and funny!! Plus they have the BEST fudge on earth!! We went thru the park and saw almost every animal there was to see!! We got very lucky! We stopped at EVERY freaking mud pot, geyser, stinky place there was....these were Cash's favorites (surprise, surprise....I don't know if he actually liked them or if he just enjoyed that everyone else didn't)!! The kids got to swim in the river there in the Park near Firehole....they had a blast and wished they could stay longer!!

This Friday (the 1st) we just finished up THE CACHE VALLEY CUP soccer tournament that Riley, Jensyn, and Olyvia all competed in!! There was one day where I had to go to 5 games and sit there (I was gone from 9am until 8:30pm)!!! It was sooooo HOT, but it was a blast to watch the kids play!! Let's start with Riley's team, let's just say they played State and State Premier teams who were AMAZINGLY good!! Those poor Fireball got creamed :( ! Jensyn's team did really well, we were excited to see how they were going to do as their coaches just split their team into two teams (U13 and U12). Unfortunately, Jen's coach lost his head and argued with a ref and knocked the red card he was given out of the refs hand...we got disqualified :( !! Olyvia's team is the BOMB!! They are soooo cute!! They did very well, they won their first game (it was a shut out) and then tied the next two (one of which was a super hard team, a Premier team). They ended up taking third place in this tournament. Not too shabby. All in all we had a great time and a good experience, even if it was 100 degrees!!

We are now getting ready for Riley to head to Scout Camp tomorrow morning (thank heavens). We love him, but he is a pain in the butt.....he really loves to tease lately!! Hope he has fun and enjoys that last little bit of summer before we go back to school (Aug 21st...yuck)!

I will get some pictures up soon. Hope all is well with everyone!!
