Mason is blessed

On October 10th Corey and Jessica blessed new baby Mason. We took a very quick trip down for the event. We left on Saturday after Mary's soccer game, and game home Sunday evening. We took Uncle Berty with us, which was very fun. It was a quick trip, but it was a lot of fun to see family and sweet baby Mason. Three generations...Papa, Corey, Mason.
The weather was perfect! and the kids enjoyed lounging in it. Here they are drinking their punch!

Papa helping Mason ride the power wheels...he's only three months!

The girls got some new sunglasses for .20 each at Children's Place...they had fun with them.

A quick but full trip as evidenced by 4 sleeing girls on the way home! That almost never happens.

Spanish Fork Dragons

Mary is part of the Spanish Fork Dragons AA Soccer team. This is their second season, and they are an awesome little team, with an awesome coach. They finished this season in a very solid 2nd place, and their only loss was to the 1st place team. Mary scored a few goals (i think 4?) this season, and just loves playing soccer. The Dragons, with coach Jared and assistant coach Mary.

They are a fun bunc of girls!

I just loved this picture of Mary.

This is Mary and her good friend Erika.

GO DRAGONS!!

Callie

After tons and tons of begging, we finally decided to get a pet. We had to go low maintenence, so we got a bunny. She is some kind of dwarf bunny, so she is cute and small and will stay that way. The girls named her Callie. So far she has a been a nice addition to the family (altough its only been about three weeks).

Lucy plays soccer!

In Spanish Fork you can play soccer once you are in Kindergarten. So after watching sisters for a few years, Lucy was all over it. She loved it, and was lucky enough to be on the same team as both her cousin Peyton and friend Emma. I actually work with their coach Greg, and he was great with them. Lucy did some twirling in the field, and lots of high fives, but toward the end of the season she was more into it. She was an AWESOME goalie. She was quite agressive and wasn't afraid to jump right on the ball. She played goalie quite a bit and had only one score on her the whole season.

Go Goalie!The Rainbows! With cousin Peyton (who was great at scoring, she even had a hat trick one game!)

the princesses of soccer!
Lucy in action!

Lucy's First Day of Kindergarten!

One week after the big girls started school, on Tuesday, August 3oth, it was Lucy's turn to join them! She started Kindergarten! So excited to go!
Lucy loves to come up with great poses for pictures!

Lucy at her table doing her first assignment

Mom and Kelsey went with Lucy and did a few little things around their classroom, but when we were done Lucy was totally ready for us to leave..."you can go now Mom" is what she said. Here is one finally picture with her sister right before we left.

First day of School 2010!

Tuesday, August 24th Summer officially ended and Mary and Brynn headed off to their first day of school. Mary is in 4th Grade with Mr. Crockett, and Brynn is in 2nd Grade with Mrs. Jurkatis.

Mary!

Brynn!

Sisters had to get in on the picture taking!

Last trip of the summer...Washington!

I LOVE going to visit the Seattle area and my family up there. Here are a ton of pictures to document the fun time we had! We finally got to visit "Hickman Park". It is in Woodway, WA the little town my grandparents live in, and is named after my Papa Bob. It was a really cool park. We ate fish and chips for dinner there and the kids had a blast playing.
Kelsey loved the slide there...she was so brave!

Here are Mollie (my cousin), Mary, Brynn, and Lucy playing on the fun equipment.

Now up to the lake! Colin and Lucy playing on the playground there.

Baby Mason's first trip to the lake!

Everyone has a blast jumping off the high dock. Here are Brynn and Uncle Corey.

Even Kacy did it! The Lake was actually "warm" this year and Kacy got in a couple times.

Lucy didn't get in very much, swimming isn't her thing yet, but she sure loved running around in her swimsuit.

Mary being silly!

And Brynn leaping!

This is Mary and Mollie tubing. They had a blast both tubing and doing everything else together! They are two little peas in a pod!

Papa Jon, Corey and Colin had fun tubing as well!

Here are Lucy and my little cousin Max, they got to be great little friends!

Everyone loves the hot tub!

Isn't this place beautiful!?!

Grandma and Papa taking the girls out for a jetski ride. This was one of the things Lucy would actuallly do!

Mary loved wakeboarding, she did it almost everyday. Brynn tried it this year too, and did a great job (those pictures are on a different camera dang it!)

The two who stared it all! Grandma Lucy and Papa Bob celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and every member of the family (except my cousin Grahm who is on a mission) was there to celebrate with them. We crammed a lot of us into the lake house (which they bought 23 years ago), and had a great time doing it! Thank you Grandma and Papa for your wonderful legacy, and a wonderful place to be together!

Here is the whole Hickman Clan!
