Catching Up

Here's my attempt at catching us up...2010 has been a good year for the Jarvis family but it has not been a good year for the Jarvis family blog.  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

In January we took a quick trip up to Disney World to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.  The kids loved it but interestingly enough I thought the putt putt golf we played at the condo might have been the most fun we had as a family all weekend.  Are we the only ones that think Disney World is a bit over rated?  

I had the unfortunate task of working the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl earlier this year.  Talk about a rough job...keep wondering when I'm going to catch a break!  Here are a few pictures of the Pro Bowl practice we took the boys to and me at the big game itself.  Talk about a once in a lifetime experience...hopefully I can make it two at some point!  

In February, the Monster Truck Jam made it's annual stop to Sun Life Stadium.  I never thought we'd be fans of Monster Trucks but it's actually a really cool event.  The boys are crazy about them and have just about ever one in their collection.  Trey even knows who some of the drivers are.  When they do their own little Monster Truck Jam at home, Trey will do the play by play and mention the names of the drivers as he crashes them together.  It's pretty funny.

Wicked

Matt and I went to see Wicked on Friday...it was so totally awesome!  It's a must see.  I've wanted to see it for a while, but after I found out how much tickets were (broadway is expensive) I wasn't going to go...a friend told me that it was worth the price though.  So I reconsidered, but the problem is, I like to be spoiled with good seats (center, center).  So to get a good seat in the auditorium was more than I was willing to spend.  But Matt talked me into it and really it was worth every penny.  We loved it!  GO SEE IT!

Dolphin's Christmas Party

The Dolphin's Christmas party was in the practice bubble this year...it was totally cool. The bubble is an indoor, full-sized football field complete with the logos and end zones painted. There was a carousel, a bowling area, yummy, yummy food, pictures with Santa, a lot of players were there (but they aren't as noticeable as one would think) and of course footballs to throw around and score touchdowns on the field. It was a really fun night, they definitely know how to throw a party.

Ward Christmas Party

Our ward's Christmas party was 'A Night in Bethlehem" and I'm on the activities committee (and and advisor in YW...no big deal) and Matt was in the Choir, so we all had to dress up, actually my mom was surprised that our whole, entire ward dressed up...it was pretty cool to see everyone in their costumes, it made the night seem more authentic. But notice the family photo...Dolphin colors anyone?

Karate

Trey started Karate back on October and he is really good. The kid strikes and shouts with force unfamiliar in the four year old realm. Trey's Sensei (the kids call him Karate Man) just loves him, Trey often gets the award for best student in the class. (I wish Trey would be as compliant for me as he is for Karate Man.) Trey graduated to a yellow belt in about 6 weeks, very impressive! We all like karate, it's good, except when it's used on the little brother...we're working on that one. Hi-yah!

Halloween 2009

Well, our little camera man (a.k.a Trey) has deleted all of our photos from October and November, so we're left with only a few pix that our friends emailed to us. Here are the boys at a Halloween party.

The boys' newest obsession...Batman and Robin

It's too bad that our pix and movies got erased from our camera because Breton was too cute trick or treating. Of course Trey was first up to every door, but Breton followed right behind and all the neighbors just loved our two little superheroes. Breton loves to shout, "Batman to the rescue!"

Flag Football

This was Trey's first flag football practice and of course Breton wanted to be like the big boys and play football too.

Trey at his first practice and he's loving every minute of it. I think he looks like a little Matt.

Here is a video below of the boys warming up before Trey's first game. The ref asked if Breton was playing...duh, he's only a foot and half shorter than the other kids and it's completely obvious that he's not the same age, what was he thinking? Breton was pretty upset when he had to take his flags off, he's sad he's not on the team.

The second video is Trey's first run of his football career. What was the outcome you may ask? Yep, you guessed it...a touchdown! Was there ever any doubt?
