Colin playing the trombone

Thank you anonymous! You are right...we were seriously neglecting our blog so we dumped a bunch of photos on and uploaded this video of Colin playing the trombone. He started 5th grade this year and decided to join the band. He debated for a few weeks between the trumpet and the trombone, eventually choosing the trombone and has already learned his first song. Voila!

Spring Fever

Still sipping warm soup...waiting for the crisp, cold air to warm up, tulips to blossom, and birds to start singing again.

Thanksgiving with the Fowers Family

The Poly Family spent Thanksgiving with the Fowers Family this year.

The highlight of the evening was the fight for the turkey legs. Since they were larger than the kids' legs themselves...they decided to share.

First Snow for 2010

Since our move back to Boise in 2005, we have not had a "snow day"...until today. School was cancelled for the entire Treasure Valley and many businesses remained closed due to the massive snow fall. We enjoyed the morning shoveling sidewalks, building a snowman, and of course, a snowball fight.

Fall 2010 soccer season

Another soccer season: the boys competitive spirit keeps them counting...two for Sid and two for Colin.

Sidney improved on his foot skills this year and is less distracted during his games. He even managed to score two goals for the season, one of them being the game winning goal during the final game of the season...a proud moment for Sidney.

Colin joined a competitive soccer team this year, as recreational soccer was no longer a challenge. As a young nine year old, he played in the U11 league and was quite intimidated at the start of the season, and rightfully so. Playing against boys a head taller and a stride faster, Colin realized he would need to be a lot feistier if he planned on touching the ball. By the end of the season, he was holding his ground. Colin managed to score two goals during the season and also played in his first tournament: the Gem State Challenge in Boise.
