Sneak Peek!

We had our family photos taken in June (thank you, Sheryll).  Where were we?  Why, the University of Louisville campus, of course (go Cards)!

Here is one of the photos from the shoot!  We love it and can't wait to see the rest!  :)

My Little Pony(Tail)!

Lola's hair is getting longer and longer!  I finally decided to put it up in a REAL ponytail.  Not just half up....  like she ALWAYS has it.  She looked pretty stinkin' cute (I think).  But.....it didn't last long.  Her hair is so fine that it just slipped right out!  Here is what it looked like!

A Blog A Day....

Will get the readers to stay!  Right?  I know, I took a bit of a hiatus after my extensive World Cup blogging.  But now that it's over (and I'm going through withdrawals), I will finally update you on the Yadon family....every day this week!  So stay tuned!

Sooooo.....it's been about a billion degrees (just a slight exaggeration) around here.  However, we have been to the park several times.  I usually send Billy with the kids on his morning off.  While they play, I run around the pond.  When we meet up, we are all pretty much drenched in sweat.  GROSS!

Here are some photos of the fun we have in our friendly neighborhood park!

Viva Espana!

I can't believe the World Cup is over!  I know some of you will be very happy because you won't have to see my soccer blogs anymore!  I, however, am already looking forward to the Euros in 2010.  It is there that I really think Germany can take it all!  :)

I started out cheering for Italy, Germany, England, the Ivory Coast, and the Netherlands.  I ended up cheering for Spain.  I decided after all the over-confident Dutch comments, I would cheer for Spain instead.  I'm glad I did!

Did I love the final match?  Not really.  Did I start to doze off now and then?  Yes.  Did I get REALLY angry at Howard Webb for giving out 80 bajillion (and yeah, that's a lot) yellow cards?  Yes.  But not as angry as Blake got who made a few threatening remarks to the TV (as though Mr. Webb might actually here him).  Anyway, my point is, it wasn't a "thriller" of a game.  It was more annoying.  Until the last 12 minutes.

Iniesta.  That's all I have to say.  Mainly because he's one of Billy's LEAST favorite players.  I don't have anything against him.  But since he scored the goal that won his country their FIRST World Cup title EVER, I figured I'd give him some props.  They got the trophy (that is conveniently stowed away in a Louis Vuitton carrier.......).  Congrats, Spain.  First the Euros (2008), now the World Cup.  You have made your country proud (well, I can only assume that since I do not live in Spain, so, I cannot be sure). ;)

30 days of soccer matches.  30 days of happiness.  Now I need 30 days of rest! :)  Now I get to focus on Blake's soccer career.  I'm working on creating my very own David Villa! :)  So I guess you will get a LONG break for the next 4 years until I'm back World Cup blogging again!  Until then, I guess I have a lot of catching up to do on my family's great adventures!  But of course, I will leave you with a few photos!

Cute boys getting ready for the game!

GERMANY!

Well, I haven't watched the game yet because I was busy all day watching Blake in a 3v3 tournament!  However, I have the match waiting for me on my DVR for when I get home tomorrow.  I know the score, though.  And that makes me happy!  After I watch the championship game and the taped game tomorrow, I will be able to say I watched EVERY game of this World Cup!  WOO HOO!

So tonight, I'm over my sadness of the Germany loss.  Third place is better than nothing, I guess.  And a 3-2 victory over Uruguay is pretty impressive!  I can't wait to watch the goals! :)  And maybe, just maybe, I will bake Billy that German chocolate cake after all!

I really have nothing more to say (don't die of shock) because I'm too tired and too sunburned to do anything else besides go to bed!  Good night!  :)
