Meet the new Jenn!

Hey everyone, I'm Jenn's niece, Halee. I have kicked Jenn out of the blogging world because she hasn't updated in forever! And I know it makes us all very sad. So I will try my best to keep you up to date on Our Days on Daisy Drive... well at least as long as I am here.

Also Jenn is in Boston for the weekend, which means she has her camera, and that has the most recent photos on it. So I have to back track a little bit, before we get to the good stuff.

But stick around everything will be here soon :)

"BEND IT"

Today we went to Fischer's 1st Soccer game of the season...And we seriously thought that we were watching David Beckhams "mini-me" running around the field!! (He even kind of looks like him....don't ya think?haha.) Fischer managed to score THE ONLY 2 GOALS for his team that day and ended tying it up with the other team. 2-2!!! YEAH that's right...YOU GO...FISH!!!

Taking a break at half time to get some advice from his "good ol' Dad". The Victory Run....
TWO...FOUR...SIX...EIGHT! WHO DO WE APPRECIATE? THE SKYWALKERS!! GO TEAM!!

Unfortunately I started rolling my camera right after he made his very first goal!! But here is a little video of him running like a "mad-dog" to get that ball away from the other team! We are so proud of you Fischer!!!

Happy Birthday Fischer!!

Today my sweet little "boyfriend" turned the big 7 years old!!! We started the day by surprising him in the morning with some gifts and a new bike!! He was soo excited!He has been a huge fan lately of Star Wars and especially the PS2 Lego Star Wars video games. So we got him the Star Wars II for his birthday since he has pretty much mastered all of the levels on the first one!
His Grandma Judy who my kids call "Amee" got him this killer Tony Hawk edition bike!! That was definately his favorite gift ever!! Thanks Amee...We love you.

We took him to Soup Plantation for dinner and then was going to go bowling but unfortunately when we got there they told us that it was "League Night" and we couldn't play!! Fischer was seriously soo heart broken over that! I was so bummed for him. I even made these cute and delicious cupcakes to take with us...So instead, we just came home, sang Happy Birthday, ate cupcakes and watched the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks" that he got for his birthday. But even though he was dissapointed about not going bowling for his birthday, he still managed to give me this great birthday smile....
We Love you "Fish"....Hope you had a Great Birthday!!!

We Love You Amee!!!

We were soo lucky to have Kristian's Mom from Boston stay with us for a few weeks while the kids were on spring break!! She is the greatest Grandma to my kids and they just adore her! She goes by "Amee" if you were wondering. We had soo much fun while she was here...

We spent the day walking around La Jolla Cove and even stopped to gaze at all of the cute seals that were just "kickin it" on the beach. They were soo cute..and fat and lazy. haha.

She was also able to be here to watch Fischer turn into a big 7 year old!! This is the cool Tony Hawk bike that she got him...He was soo excited as that is all he kept asking for!! Thanks Amee!We got to go to Old Town San Diego and have a great mexican lunch with musical sernades and all!! Then we took a tour of The Mormon Battalion and the Sister Missionaries dressed the kids up like Pioneers, it was so cute.
They would've never made it as pioneers...bless their hearts!! But they sure look cute dressed as one!Thanks again Judy for coming to spend time with our family!! We love you and can't wait to play with you again...xoxo
