Riverside Soccer Tournament



Blake's and Garrett's select soccer teams participated in a huge soccer tournament in Riverside this long weekend. Blake's team was eliminated at the end of pool play on Sunday, but Garrett's team moved on to the semi-finals on Monday when they won their pool. They won the semi, but lost the final game, 0-1. It was the only goal they gave up all weekend (6 games). We are proud of them all!

Nugg-a-ly blanky?


Saturday mornings are pretty special when we can enjoy our "snugly blankets". As Elijah's vocab widens rapidly, the days of the "nugg-a-ly blanky" are numbered!

Grandma & Olivia


Mom had fun tickling Olivia--and by the looks of it, Oivia was having a lot of fun too! Our little girl slept 8 solid hours last night--thank you Lord!

Dinner Date (sorta)

Andy & Carrie recently attended a Conejo church leaders dinner with elders and ministers. Don't I have a cute date?

Fun at the Wall House

The Wall girls recently put on their bonnets to play with their American Girls dolls. For you boys, the dolls names are Kirsten (Jenna), Samantha (Jessica), Kit (Michaela). Think of them as three dimensional Yuggios with dresses.
