Fun Weekends!

I am desperately trying to pull myself to the computer to post more, but lately I hate the computer and can’t stand the Internet. This feeling exists because of several reasons one my computer is alarming slow (which I should get checked out), it hurts my eyes, and I seem to be a lot more busy lately. However despite my negative attitude towards it I will soldier on for that sake of memories.

Now that, that is off my chest I will be more pleasant. I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Zoo Walk this past Saturday. The walk helped raised money for Autism research. Weston had so many supporters and awesome groupies. I have to admit we had the coolest shirts out of any group (thanks Giselle). Although the walk was short being that it is only 1.1 miles around the zoo, it was so neat to see all the supporters. I am so grateful to my family and friends that came out to support such an important cause. It is always helpful to have life’s purposes refocused at times.

I want to say thank you Chari, for being such an advocate and involving me as well as opening my eyes along with many others to such important issues. If I could just say I have the most amazing sister! Not only is she the sweetest most humble person I know, she is an amazing mother and aunt. My sister is so proactive it amazes me and I can only hope to be more like her. I love talking to her and listening to all the information she holds in her brain. I am lucky to have you as family. I love you!

Now for the second part of my post the SYTYCD concert. I lacked in pictures due to the fact that I never charge my camera. So my lovely photographer friend Tricia took the majority of the pictures. It was so much fun and we stood out like a sore thumb, which is exactly what we wanted. We all had shirts made the night before that spelled “WE Love S Y T Y C D”, they were awesome. It was so much fun and the concert was GREAT! My vocal cords were killing me from screaming so long and loud. Tricia’s wonderful husband Jared even got us Twitch glasses, for those of you who don’t know they are glasses with no lenses. Thanks Jared!! I don’t want to go into too much detail but some other highlights of the night were an incriminating picture some one took and a two really nice female who TRIED to cut off Tricia, it was classic! It was so much fun can’t wait until next year!

A little late




Okay so I am going to make this a really short blog for two reasons. One I have to blog about something else and still need to get some other things in the blogger book before. Two, I am in a hurry!

Gavin started soccer again this year in the Gilbert League. He loves it and I love the outrageously loud colors of the uniforms. Seriously you can see them from a mile away. It makes it really easy to find them on the field. This season we have had some really intense opposing teams and I am slightly shocked. Some four year olds look six, and some players look like they are preparing themselves for high school soccer.

If you can’t tell these are two different games, my son is bald in one. We have officially shaved his head again and the long process of wanting the surfer long hair will have to wait. Gavin’s hair just doesn’t seem too grow that fast. Oh well he is still a cutie!

Secondly, the Ethington’s had a family reunion. This is a foreign concept to me because my family reunions consist of Sunday’s at my aunt’s house. There aren’t tons of people in my extended family so there is no need to have a vacation for our gathering. Well I married into a family were there are so many grandchildren you loose count. So a reunion is in order. I have to admit I do enjoy them, I have never seen so many kids for Gavin to play with other than school.

It was a camp out however; it was only for two days so Troy and I didn’t feel like hauling up the camper and setting it up for only two days. So we stayed in a near by hotel which we used to sleep. It might seem a little ridiculous but at least I got a shower. There was so much to do and Gavin really enjoyed himself. Can’t wait until next year!
