Spring Soccer...Mia style!

Today Mia had her first soccer game @ 3:00 pm...it was a little toasty out, but it was so fun.

Mia did a lot of this...

...and this.

Mia's coach is: her dad. 'Ok Mia, you stand...here.

She sure is the cutest soccer player I have ever seen...

There was a lot of hair flipping & dancing going on...

Coach dad tying the shoes...

Good job Mia! Way to run...

Signs of a good coach -

When Matt coaches this age...he always lines them up at the end and gives everyone a chance to score a goal...way to go coach!

Mia had a great time playing soccer with her friends today...her team won, but at this age, who's counting?!

Boston's

We celebrated this fun soccer day with a trip to Boston's...a pizza place. Yeah that is Madison trying to get out of her chair to sneak away...the girls had fun.

The best part was getting to decorate your own cookie...lots of frosting & sprinkles! (Notice the sprinkle jar is empty!)

My friend Ali & William...covered in whip cream from a sundae!

One tired girl...

Today Madison & I had a very busy day. We were off to church at 8:30 am this morning where I work in the child care, and it's like a pre-school for Madison. I help with the 5 year olds and she goes into the 2 year old class. We brought our lunches since today I had bible study from 12:15-2:00 pm. This means that Madison didn't get a nap. Needless to say she was exhausted...to the point of falling asleep while eating her dinner! Bless her heart...I managed to get her in the bath and in her jammies and asleep by 7:00 pm which is early for Madison!

Sweet dreams my precious little angel...with all her 'lovies.'

Mia's 43rd Transfusion

Mia woke up early this morning and headed to the hospital with dad. I stayed home and helped the girls get ready for their first day back to school from Spring Break, and dropped Madison off at her Grannie's house for the day. Of course it's our tradition to get a Starbucks iced chocolate milk, so I picked her up one on the way to the hospital.

Keeping busy playing a little Mario Kart on the DS.

Thanks dad for bringing Mia bright and early...

Before heading off to work, Matt waited for the breakfast tray to arrive...extra bacon, Mia's favorite! - Yeah, Matt helped with the bacon too!

We love our little precious Mia!

Looking good at the hospital...Mia is always 'fashionable' every where she goes.

Baptism

Sunday March 15th @ 7:45 pm, I was baptized at East Valley Bible Church by our Chandler area Pastor Jim Harper.

This is the main chapel after the 6:00 pm service...

I could hear Madison saying, 'That's my mom!" - as she's pointing to the big screen that showed what was going on. Oh she is something else...too cute!

My testimony...I have a HEAVENLY Father who loves me.

Being submerged...

Thank you God for changing my heart...and most of all thank you for your precious Son.

'I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.' Galations 2:20

Spring Break Swim

Time for a swim...spring break is so much fun, especially when there is a pool near by! The girls spent the day at Grannie's house, so while Madison took a nap, Alyssa & Mia got a little swim time in. Thanks Ashley for babysitting!

Of course they love to play with the noodles...


Alyssa riding the horsey & blowing bubbles...

Mia trying to...?

Jumping in

More swimming...

Here's Madison in her new suit! After a busy morning shopping, we headed off to the kid pool again at Grannie's house.

I'm cold, but I really want to go in again...

Matt's 35th birthday!

Happy 35th birthday Matt! - We celebrated by going out to dinner, just the two of us, mexican food, of course! Then we came home to a surprise party...!

Matt & the girls...

How exciting! -you shouldn't have...

...but I'm glad you did!

Wow, a ripstick! Yes, he really is turning 35, but he's 12 at heart!

Make a wish...

Happy Birthday Dad!
