CANYONEERING-AKA-"SAUSAGE FEST" 2010

So...the guys like to go on these trips they call "Sausage Fest" and it's only because girls aren't allowed. Me and my sister have been on one of these trips and we both swear that we Almost died! But the boys would tell you that we were totally fine the whole entire time. Nope. It was scary AND we almost died. Not once, but a lot of times! So...we just leave these trips for the boys now. I think I can be talked into going again, but as long as their are no keepers (water holes full of water that are really hard to get out of) and I don't ever want to wear a wetsuit. These guys are Amazing I tell ya!!! You can't be weak to make it through these canyons!!!Brandon and Chrif

Mike

James and Danny

James is wondering how the heck he's going to get to the other side! Ha ha! I'm telling you, those keepers are called "keepers" for a reason!

Dave is Amazing :)

Goooo Fire Balls!!!

Cassidy had her first soccer game on Saturday and they only had 1 practice because of all the rain!! I think they did a great job considering...her team is called the Fire Balls and they won 6 to 3!!! Cass is the smallest player...so little and cute :) Giving high fives to their rivals!

Danielle and Brandon, Nana and Papi, and Dave and I got to see her first game!

Cass in A-C-T-I-O-N!

Love her soccer clothes!

Nine is Divine

Yes I do realize I've posted way too many pics...on every post :) But this is my way of scrapbooking! So deal with it :) if you read it!!! Here's a cute card from Cassidy's friend, Sidney!Cassidy loved this green hat at the store and wanted it, so we bought it.

Cassidy, Hannah, Izzy, and Sidney (left to right)

Cass enrolled in soccer this spring, so she's all about soccer balls right now :)

This is Izzy, Cassidy's cousin. We love having her at our house!!! She is so sweet and has the cutest personality.

This hammock scares me!!! They have so much fun in our cluttery unfinished basement...

They are little monkeys!

"Cheer's"!!!

Remember those sugar straws? Yep...they were hyper all night :)

Remember the "cry baby" sour gum? Yep...they loved those!

Cassidy planned the whole party...they had races...

Hula Hoop contests...This is Sidney (below) and she's one of Cassidy's favorite friends in her class at school! She lives right by us and she is just about Cassidy's size and they have all of the same interests...so fun!

Soccer ball contests...

Yep...and Jumproping!!! (My Favorite)

This is Cassidy with Hannah (below). They've been friends Forever!!! Thanks for being such a great friend Hannah!!!

Cass and I had fun decorating for her party. This is the one thing that Cassidy talks about all year long, her next Birthday party :) She really wanted to keep this one simple. Only 3 friends were invited...she said, they will get along better with just a few...smart little girl :)

Treasure Hunt!!! I completely wore them out...It was such a beautiful day to have them running around the neighborhood! Here they are...trying to figure out my clue :)

This is the "silly face" picture...Izzy (my niece on the right) told me that her mom won't let her make this face at home! ha ha!!! So, when she comes to my house, she gets it out of her system!! Love it!!

Cassidy loves her friends! Welcome to the nine year old years Cass, We love you!!!
