So if you couldn't tell I've been MIA for quite some time...oh there have been tons of things happening...photos taken...I've just been lazy...I think it is my middle name, along with procrastinator...so I am going to get back on track and start posting....We have a field trip coming up on Thursday so I plan to take pics with Tristen and tell you all about my exciting time on the 2nd grade fieldtrip :)

Hair wars....
So I am not sure if other couples struggle with this...but I HATE to shave my legs and have managed to get away with shaving once a week....I should be grateful that Stevan has not really made a fuss, but he does complain that he is tired of sleeping next to sandpaper legs....So then I started making loud comments about how much I LOVE long hair on guys...we struck up a deal and he has not shaved his head in about a month or so...my part of the deal is that I have to shave my legs 3 times a week....aaarrrggggg.....I can tell its killing him - his hair is getting long (well long for him) and it is growing out all salt & pepper (which I like)....I guess its a small price to pay??

Hall of Flame field trip
This week I chaperoned a field trip to the Firefighters Hall of Flame with Tristen's 2nd grade class. I wasn't sure what to expect - except for the headache I got sitting on the bus with 60 2nd graders for 1 hour into Phoenix...but I am happy to report I was pleasantly suprised. The museum actually had quite a few early handpumps and steam pumps and then an area with at least 15-20 fire engines ranging from the early 1900's through present. There was an area dedicated to 9-11 with a piece of the Twin Towers, along with names of fallen emergency responders. The kids all had a great time and I'll have to admit I did too. I had a group of 4 kids including Tristen and they were great kids - we had a fun time :)

San Tan Mountain Hike
We went hiking the other day with the Arbons. San Tan Mountains is only about 10 minutes from here and I thought it would be a good thing to get out. Well we did okay...there was complaining and whining and the moviestar was irritated cause her shoes were rubbing on the back of her heal. Clayton was tired and it was too far.....and on and on and on. So we hiked in about 30 minutes on the trail, then hiked out. I promised the kids a treat at QT so we stopped for that on our way home....then the supermodel piped up "Can we do this tomorrow? I really enjoyed the hike!" What?!?!?! I think not my friends :)

Soccer Season
It is that time of the year again..Soccer has started and we are happy to say that we have 2 players this year. Clayton and Tristen are both involved, although I didn't think too much about the fact that I'd be running between 2 fields the whole time trying to watch both games. Sadly Stevan has yet to see Clayton play cause he's busy coaching Tristen's team - the Bruins!!! Claytonis on Sister Yosts Rams team and he is a real go-getter. Not to brag or anything...but he scored 2 goals his first game :) Tristen scored 1 at her first game too. Clayton is a little too confident - apparently after scoring he was pretend shooting at the other team chanting "You guys are losers" - whose kid is this anyways!!!???? And Tristen wasn't sure they even won their last game cause the other team scored...not something they are used too...Stevan put her straight though...they did win :) Clayton was upset at the last game though cause he didn't get to score...so he told one of the kids on the other team his shirt looked stupid and then wouldn't shake hands or cheer at the end of the game. He had a little chat with Stevan about good sportmanship I think he will do a lot better this week or he will be in trouble :)
