Happy March Everyone!!

It seems like we haven't done a lot in the past few months, but when I look back on all our pictures I realize that we have!

And maybe I should've updated our blog a month or so ago =]

Kendall and I have been busy going on Girl Dates with Auntie Holly to dinners and then attending AF basketball games. Kendall has fallen in love with the AF Mascot, Bird, and knows we are going to see him when I tell her we are going to a basketball game!!

Danny continues to plug away with school, when work isn't pulling him in the other direction!! He's in the homestretch, so we can FINALLY, and I say WE can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!! It has been 4 looooooooonnnnnggg years of sacrifice for all of us, and we are just so damn excited to have him done with school!!

*****Danny will be graduating on May 13th, 2011.*****

In late January, we signed Kendall up for soccer!
And she loves it! It's mostly about socializing with other kids and getting us outta the house during the winter! It has been so fun to watch her play and pick things up so quickly!! She's so stinkin' awesome!!

And finally, last weekend we were able to cross something off of our bucket list...

GOING TO MARINERS SPRING TRAINING IN ARIZONA!!

Something we have been talking about doing for years, but just never have.

It was great to go to the baseball games with Mom and Bud, who were also down there, and see my friend Michelle, who I haven't seen in 12+ years!! So fun to catch up with her and Brian!!So check out our pics from the past few months...

Watching the AF women's basketball game

SOCCER!!

This is the first time Kendall put on her uniform after we signed up for soccer =]

Can you tell she's so excited??

The whole Cuillier family went to our first AF hockey game and watched a little wrestling too!

Soccer Time!!

So how do 18 month olds play soccer?

We have a great coach named Coach Dillon who is doing a great job introducing these little tinies to the game of soccer.

We do lots of running, following directions, some kicking of the ball, and game playing.

In just a month, Kendall has figured out how to kick the ball, and rarely uses her hands to pick up the soccer ball.

She loves showing off for Daddy and Auntie Holly when they come to watch!!

We are signing her up for another session next week!
