...and the treats...

the sandwich...

Hub doesn't really cook or bake much...
(well...he does cook on the grill once in a while)

and/but he does make a mean sandwich...

...check out the tomatoes and green peppers from my garden...
...now if only I could grow 'aguacate'...(avocados)

when it RAINS...

it POURS...
...we had a little cloud burst the other night...
...looking out our front door...

...this downpour brought literal meaning to the phrase...
At least now we know we have a backup shower if we need one...
The hail hitting the window was an added bonus
and sounded like buckshot...

Soccer time....!

Ethan and Lydia are playing on the same soccer team...
"the Dragons"
...in the Gilbert Youth Soccer Association (GYSA) with their dad, Kevin, as their coach...
...an 'accidental' clip...

'Auntie Ange' is their biggest fan...
...a word about the coach...
Kevin (the 'dad coach') was a 'huge' soccer star in his growing-up years...he is so patient with all of these 'new, little learners'... (I should take the opportunity to brag about my kids more...they are so cool...)
Here are some 'action' shots from their game last Saturday...
...big action...the excited fams...(appropriate typo)
It's not important that 'the Dragons' scored 2 goals for the other team...what is important is that 'the Dragons' scored 2 more legitimate goals and Lydia assisted on the first one & Ethan scored the other one!
Lydia is the youngest on the team and being the only girl,
she holds her own pretty well...
besides that she is the cutest player on the team!
Ethan (on the other hand) is the coolest & is a 'ready machine'...

...and here they are in action...

...and Ethan takes it down the line...

...in this age group, the coaches are also the referees...
(they can't touch the ball...but they can coach from the field)

Liddy gets a little private instruction...

...and she is re-inspired!

Ethan is ready for back-up...
Halftime...

...after half-time 'the Dragons' come out breathing fire...
Go Liddy!

1st goal - Lydia's assist!!!
...and then Ethan scores!!!
Liddy...did you see that???

Great game, guys...

...is this what is known as 'soccer face'???
...and snow cones all around...

Soccer is such a great sport...
We'll see all you fans next week!!!

1 - 2 - 3...voilà!

Angie is so creative...
...she entered a 'cupcake contest' at the Insititue...
...aren't they cute???
In case you don't recognize them....

'Big Bird' - 'Cookie Mon(g)ster' (I know you were all thinking it) -
'Ernie' - 'Elmo' - 'Oscar' the grouch
...haven't heard if she won the contest yet
but she has my vote!


....and she made it look so easy...easy as 1 - 2 - 3...
Ange is going to be a really fun 'mommy' some day...
but for now...she is a really great 'auntie'...
