Dylin the Defender!

 Dylin's first season of Soccer just ended. She is the defender (aka goalie).

The great thing is, she is really good at it! Her personality plays a strong roll out on the field. She is a character! Always yelling to the girls, telling them where to go, where to stand on a throw in, and when there's a corner kick you'll hear her scream, "GET ON THE ARC!"

Her coach is always saying, "thank you Dylin," because the girls aren't listening to him.

The other great news, her doctors are okay with her playing soccer as the defender. Because there isn't much physical contact, she doesn't have as large of risk hurting her kidneys. :o)

She was NOT happy the opposing team made a goal!!

The BEST scavenger hunt EVER!

I have this problem of outdoing myself. I have to top my own adventures. Tyler wanted to have another scavenger hunt! I thought, how in the world can I think of more things to do then the last several that we've had!!! No worries, just let me wait til the last minute and it'll be a hit! We had three teams. Each team had 1 hour 15 minutes to complete whatever items they chose on the list. They ranged between 1-3 points. If your team arrived back to the house late, a point was deducted for each minute late. Oh and of course, pictures must be taken!!
Did you think that was all? No way, we had shirts made! Team colors, names & jersey #'s on the back.

This was the list:
(most items were completed, but I only chose a few of the best pictures to post)

ONE POINT CHOICES:


- Picture in front of Krispie Kreme's while the Hot Now sign is lit.
- Each kid get an In N Out hat
- Go to any fire station and ask for one hat and one sticker
- Group pic with anyone with a name badge on
- One point for every napkin you bring back with a different logo or restaurant name on it.
- Have a store employee (any store) announce over the loud speaker, "Happy Birthday Tyler!"
- Get 12 mild or hot sauce packets from Taco Bell
- Get a fortune cookie, bring it back unopened.

- Find a Red Box with the Karate Kid Movie on the display board, take a picture with team pointing to it.

TWO POINT CHOICES:

- Go to any store that sells hoola hoops, all team members hoola hoop at the same time.
- Chinese fire drill (on a SAFE street)
- Group pic with anything that says Las Vegas in/on it
- Find a fountain and all members feet need to dip in.

- Fit all kids inside a grocery store cart

- Ride the carousel at the District

- Go to Baskin Robbins, each member sample pralines and cream ice cream.

THREE POINT CHOICES:

- Go to a grocery store, bowl a frozen turkey under one members legs while knocking down three stove top stuffing boxes

- Go to McDonalds and order a hamburger with 35 pickles on it. (bring it back)

- Get a menu from any restaurant (no copies, has to be an actual menu)
- Go to any GV Ranch statues and dress them in one piece of clothing or accessories from each kid in the group.

- Get any fast food restaurant to give you a kids meal toy
- Go into a store that sells shoes and every member try on high heels

- Go the kids are at the District play area and all members do snow angels for 30 seconds

 
The pink team came in a few minutes early with 34 points. The blue team was at 29, and then the red team rolled in 6 minutes late!! They had 40 points but with the 6 point deduction, they tied with the pink team. The pink team won $5 gift cards to Justice, the red team won $5 gift cards to Target and the blue team won baseball cards.
 
When they returned, we made oreo milkshakes, and killed time at Anthem park playing wiffle ball in the freezing cold til 11pm, toilet papered two homes, got slurpees at 11:30 and came back home!
 

 
The games didn't even stop there. They all spent the night and of course everyone fought for the couch. So we played toss the marshmallow in the bowl. Whom ever got to the highest bowl, won a spot on the couch. Think this was easy? No way, it was tie after tie and we went into rounds. After midnight, we had winners!!

The mind of MY 6 year old....

I don't have a picture for this story, shocking I know! We were at Tyler's baseball game and Dylin was playing in the sand volleyball area. She came over and asked Grandma and I for water. We both knew immediately it wasn't to drink. I said, "Dylin, you aren't making mudd." She thought for about a split second, her eyes lit up and said, "I just need a drink." Grandma said, "yes, you can have a drink right here, you aren't taking the bottle." So she took a drink!
A few minutes later, she came back for another drink, and another and another! That little smartie pants was filling her mouth with the water and then spitting it into the sand!!!
(I feel bad for the kids that were playing with her mudd)

Daily Dose of Dylin

One way to study the Solar System!

(i'd fall asleep too.)

CAUGHT!!!!

Look! They still like each other. (tyler says it was only cause they were cold) BUT, this is surely a moment!

Jordyn's first GOAL!!!

Jordyn usually plays sweeper in her soccer games. She finally got up the courage to ask her Coach to play her as half back. She scored her first goal!!!!

We are so excited. I had to contain myself from running on the field.

Jordyn is our sugar junkie so a soccer cake made of crushed oreo, was exactly how to celebrate with her!

Mr. Pres & Mrs. Vice doing their duties

Tyler & Jordyn had to give the announcements for a week each at school. Tyler wouldn't let me in, but Jordyn of course wanted me in there each day. They both did a great job!!!

Harvest Festival

It's catch up time! I've been swamped with our school Harvest Festival for the past few weeks. I will post new pictures soon, but wanted to show these off for now. Our school is known for the amazing baskets we raffle off. Not sure why we call them baskets, they are far from a basket. There were 12 in total, here are a few of my favorites.

Mad Scientist

Movie Night

Girls Just Wanna have Fun

Havin' a Ball

The "Apple of My Eye" basket was my idea this year and it was by far the biggest money maker!

We were able to have an IPad & IPod in it, along with $100 in Itunes cards & accessories!!!

Daily Dose of Dylin

Please tell me where you think you're going?

A Weekend of Fun for no reason

8 Boys sleeping at my house.

19 Girls (including mine) around the corner at Laura's.

Metro Pizza with the boys.

Walk with the boys to the sno cone place around the corner, but stop to hop the gate at

Laura's and make the girls scream as the boys run into the back yard crashing the party.

(sure the girls hated it) ;o)

Run into giggly girls from another party at the sno cone place.

We walk home to a toilet papered house... from the giggly girls.

Gather TP and go TP Laura's house.

19 screaming girls.

14 leave, 5 stay the night at Laura's.

They gather the TP and make WANTED signs.

They TP our house. BUT we caught them.

5 screaming girls.

(Boys loving it)

Girls go back to Laura's.

Boys dress up like geeks and storm into Laura's back yard at midnight.

They all end up in the pool, with clothes & girls in pj's on! (sorry Laura)

Random fun for no reason! ;o)

Daily Dose of Dylin

If you're going to write on my pillow with permanent pink marker, don't be dumb enough to write your own name!!!!!

"Dylin, WHY DID YOU WRITE ON MY PILLOW???"

"Ohhhh Mom, don't worry, you have plenty of white pillows, this one was an extra."

Mr. President & Mrs. Vice President

I know, I know. I'm a week late posting this. Between PTA President, Mr. Pres., Mrs. Vice Pres, a 6 year old that makes you think you have six 6 year olds, watching Macy, baseball, both lil chicks in soccer..... the thought of blogging is quite annoying. ;o)

OH and I hate blogging without a picture and I haven't been able to capture one of Ty & Jordyn together since they BOTH WON!!!

I'm very proud of them!
