New Moon

I did go to the midnight showing of New Moon. I will never go to a movie that late ever again. I am too old. I did really like the movie but I would have enjoyed it more if I weren't dead tired. Tyson and I flew up to Salt Lake for a job interview and made it up there just in time to hit the show with some friends. It was a frenzy! Tons and tons of girls all dressed up like vampires and everything. The theatre was showing about 20 premieres and it was jam-packed. Meagan had a cafe rented out for the night and we all had sandwiches and gelatos before the movie! We all had a great time.

End of soccer season

Wow! What a great season! Courtney's team almost made it to the championship game. They missed it by one point. She was probably the fastest and most fearless player on the team. We are so proud of her. All the girls on the team were so cute and they were all such good friends. Connor's team (w/ Tyson as assistant coach) made it to the championship game and lost it right at the end! I rarely made it to his games because Courtney was playing at another field and their times often conflicted. There was some amazing talent on his team. It was actually fun to watch. Both the kids improved tons this season on their skills and can't wait to play again next year!

Happy Halloween 2009

Owen's first time trick-or-treating!
Connor and Courtney carved their very own pumpkins this year

Jack HATED his cute turtle costume, so he opted for scary skull pajamas ainstead!

The three kids ready to rake in some candy!

Ready to trick-or-treat

Owen the train conductor! He loved his train hat!

Connor loved his Harry Potter Costume, he really looked the part!

Courtney was a cat at first, but then decided to be a cheerleader. She really plays the part too!

Happy Halloween everybody! The kids had a great time this year. They got tons of candy, so much that they actually gave half of it to their sick friends who were unable to go trick or treating. We had "Dinner in a Pumpkin" at the Rizzo's followed by a major haul around the neighborhood.

Fun Day at the Patch with the Boys

It was 90 degrees that day at the Pumpkin Patch in Del Mar! The boys had sooo much fun. Owen's favorite part was the giant slide and Jack's favorite was the petting zoo. He kept trying to feed all the animals hay, it was really cute. And you can never go wrong with little boys anywhere there is a choo-choo train!

How Cute are my kids?....seriously.

Connor all grown up!

I just had to brag that my 3rd grader just finished book 7 of the Harry Potter series. When summer started, we tried to get him motivated to read. We told him that if he read all seven Harry Potter books we would pay him $5 per book. Well, once he started, we couldn't get him to stop. He was reading sometimes 5-6 hours per day. He loves Harry Potter so much that he is dressing up like him for Halloween. I also wanted to show some of his Lego creations. He is sooo stinkin' creative. I loved this plane design he came up with. I think we are going to send it into the magazine. What a smart kid!
