A Night With BONO

Tuesday night we headed to Glendale, to the Cardinals Stadium, to watch U2...what a fun night!  It was our first time seeing them in concert and we already can't wait until their next tour. We went with our good friends, Will and Melissa and met up with with our other good friends Jared and Meghan at the concert.  Even though we didn't get home until 2 a.m. it was totally worth it!  

This is the stage...Adam knows all these neat facts about it, but I do know that it's the biggest stage ever...pretty fitting for U2!  

The Black-Eyed Peas opened for U2 and they were great!  

Manassa, Colorado

The boys and I ventured off to Colorado for Fall Break to visit my in-laws, better known as Granny and Papa, and a gaggle of cousins! What a trip...9 hours in the car is a lot, but the boys were great travelers!  

 We hiked the "M" mountain...during which I realized the boys are too fearless for my liking!  

The view of the San Luis Valley, from the top of the "M" mountain...

My brother-in-law, Aaron is the head coach for one of the local football teams in the Valley, and he asked Nikolas to be one of the Ball Boys with his son, Lincoln....what a night!

Nikolas got to run out on the field and get the T's after the kick off and extra points...I'm pretty sure it was one of the highlights of the trip for him!

We got to watch Uncle Ryan play football...he's the quarterback...the boys were so proud!

Nate and Granny throwing rocks and trying to stay dry!
I love Colorado in the Fall, probably my favorite time of year there!Granny and Riley...he loves his Granny!
One of my new favorite pictures of Nikolas...if only I could edit his ASU sweater...oh well!
The 3 boys...what a fun time!
It was a fun but exhausting week!

Soccer Time

It's that time of year again...Soccer practice 4 nights a week and games every Saturday! 

Riley has become quite the kicker!

Scouts

Nikolas had to build a bird house for scouts and the job of overseeing the building process landed on mom...poor kid!  About half way through the building process, we realized that the pieces were backwards, and had to take the house completely apart!  The house got built and now, Nikolas is waiting for dad to string it up in the backyard so some birds can move in!

Fun filled Scout Pack Meeting = More patches for mom to sew on!

California

We ventured off to California for Labor Day and had a blast.  It was a QUICK trip, but we managed to squeeze in Disneyland and the beach.  

Nikolas and Riley had so much fun playing in the ocean...

Nate wasn't too sure about the ocean, so he played in the sand ALL day!We watched the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" show, in 3-D...the boys loved it!

Nikolas and Riley's first trip on the Log Ride...Nikolas'

 FAVORITE ride by far!

My little sister came with us...the boys LOVED having Aunt Christyn to ride with!

If you can't tell from his expressions, Riley LOVED Space Mountain...he rode it like 6 times!
