GOOOAAAAALLLL!!!

Of course I didn't have my camera (I left it in the car), but felt I had to mention this. Connor scored the first goal for his soccer team this season. I wish I had my camera because he executed it so perfectly. Way to go, Connor! Next time I promise to bring the camera.

After Connor's game we made sure to bring the camera for Carly's game. No goals (they got slaughtered), but she sure looks cute. So does Kyle as he practices soccer on the sidelines.


Check out the concentration! Such skill!

Daddy Daughter Night

The evening was a memorable one. The main attraction being Kevin Yocum playing lead guitar on his knees for Hannah Montanas "I want to be a Rockstar" in front of about 50 screaming nine year old girls. Kevin was appropriately dressed in an old red print polyester shirt with a vest and a monster black fro whith dark sun glasses to complete the ensemble. He looked like a Saturday Night Live guest celebrity in a spoof of Charlton Hestons "The Omega Man" I believe he was making up for not wearing any costume to the mystery dinner. Kevin is now a permanent part of Abbey Reinke and Temecula history, as numerous parents immortalized his image with pictures that will need to be explained to friends and family alike for years.

The evening concluded at Richies. We walked into the restaurant and Kevin, (still fully attired) was immediately approached by the concerned owner who was quick to suggest the outside patio seating. We explained the evenings festivities and were then seated inside. The father and daughter(s) combinations were The Keatings, The Shreenan's, The Matt Down's, The Serge's, The Martinez's, The Hammond's, The Yocum's and the Farnbach's.

Carly and Morgan both had sodas then shakes. Needless to say Morgan was the first one to cry uncle with a bad stomach ache saying "I want to go home".

Another Daddy daughter night in the books. Great friends, Great kids....Life is good. :)

Springin' Shreenan Style

We had such an awesome Spring Break! I was going to do lots of spring cleaning and get organized, BUT noooooo. Instead, we started Spring Soccer, went on a family picnic (thanks, Autie), had a bonfire with friends, and went to Grandma and Grandpa Shreenan's house. That was the first week of vacation. The second week we went to Disneyland, went camping at San Clemente State beach, visited the San Luis Rey mission and spent conference at my mom and dad's with family.



Here's a picture of Carly at her first game. She played goalie and did a fantastic job! Way to go, Carly!!!






The kids had so much fun camping with their cousins, Porter & Carter.



Greg brought so much firewood on our camping trip that there was hardly enough room for all our camping gear. It was a good thing though because the weather was pretty overcast. Thank goodness for Greg, aka "The Fire God!"

Here is Greg with his little sis, Catherine, whom my children absolutely adore. She played baseball and badminton. We were so glad she came to visit us. No one wanted her to leave, but alas Mike was waiting at home for her, and I'm sure she much prefered sleeping in her own bed than in a tent with us. Although we had plenty of room.

Well, I didn't get my spring cleaning done, but Greg managed to clean our garage. We needed some place to park our car. Oh, did I mention, I got a new car? I traded my squeaky-wheeled, intermittent air conditioning, transmission dying, electrical lights flashing nightmare of a mini van for a sporty, red SUV wagon crossover. Yeah, ME! It's fun to drive again.

It truly was a great two week vacation. I'm so glad I talked Greg into taking some time off work. We had so much fun playing and laughing together.
