Busy Weekend

We had such a busy weekend I just decided to lump everything into one big post. So enjoy all the pics and I'll try to remember everything!

It all started on Friday, Livvy's birthday was earlier in the week but we did her party on Friday since there was no school. She had fun and I only had a little headache after 6 screaming girls for an hour and a half!

Later that night Livvy and her friend Cora got to dance with the Foothill Dance Team during the halftime show of the football game. They had so much fun but were not entertained by the game, every 10 seconds they kept asking when it was time to go down to the field for their dance. Unfortunately my camera takes crappy pictures at night so I didn't get any of the actual dancing. But trust me, it was so cute to see all these little girls dancing on the football field. I swear Olivia is 6 going on 16! Matthew and his friend Noah came to the game and were so excited but honestly I'm not sure why they were so excited since they didn't pay attention to the game either!
On a side note, I remember not liking high school football games when I was IN high school and I like them even less after, well, I'm not going to say how long it's been...
So now to Saturday morning- Michael and his friend Neils went for a hike through the mountains from Henderson to Boulder City. It was about 7 miles and thanks to Neil's GPS, they went mostly off trails. It was a nice cool morning and they got sprinkled on for most of it. It took them about 4 1/2 hours but it only took me 10 minutes to drive to Boulder City to pick them up! Hopefully they can get some good hiking in before the weather turns too cold. I love the desert!

So after a mostly relaxing afternoon, we headed out to Anthem for Matty's weekly soccer game. It was absolutely perfect soccer weather, just warm enough with a cool breeze. This was their toughest game so far and the first half was pretty rough, but they picked it up in the second half. Matty even took a shot on goal. Matty is an awesome soccer player and he is so fast, that no one beats him! Both Michael and I are a little hoarse from so much yelling but don't worry, we were yelling positive things! Go Lightning! (Matty is #5 in the blue uniform, my camera takes crappy action shots, sorry)

Finally after all the busy-ness, it was time for some adult time. Michael and I got a babysitter and went out to Quinn's at Green Valley Ranch to see his friend's band play. I wasn't expecting to have a good time, but it was so much fun! The band was a little loud, but we did get a chance to visit and hang out with friends during the band breaks. For those of you who know me, I'm not much of a "party animal", but we were having such a good time all of a sudden it was 1:00 in the morning and we decided we had better head home. We had a great babysitter and the kids had a good time with her. I love my husband and it is so fun to get out of our normal routine and do something fun and let loose! We had a great weekend and am definately ready for a quiet Sunday and a nap!
