Strikers Cup + Shootout = MVP

Morgan's soccer team played in the Striker's Cup this week. They were 4-0, and played for the championship game today. They played really well. Morgan plays goalie the 2nd half of each game, and she did awesome! It came down to a tie, and after 2 five minute overtimes, it went to a shootout, with Morgan as the goalie! Wow, that makes the mom very nervous. She did awesome, and played well, she made the goal she shot in the shootout, but we missed 2 of our other shots, and we lost. She was voted MVP by the other coach and received a game ball, which all of her team-mates signed! She is really improving, and is not afraid to charge the players, and she has the marks to show it! We are very proud of her! Way to go Firecrackers!! She says the silver medal is prettier than the gold anyway!

What a night with my handsome boys!

Brian's brother got married this weekend. So our week has been filled with wedding festivies. Jordan was at High adventure, and Morgan was at a soccer tournament in Park City, so it was just us 4. It sure is different without those older kids. We had fun. More on soccer to come.

Summer Fun!

BJ, Nicole and the boys are moving away. So we decided to have some fun before they are gone. Grandpa and Grandma's neighbors were nice enough to let us enjoy their awesome pool and yard, for a little swim time fun. Missed those who could not come, but it was fun to have all the cousins there together.

I'm a BIG KID now!!!

He did it. No more diapers at our house. Hayden has been almost accident free for over 3 weeks. He has had a few slips, but only when he is too busy playing and waits to long to run!! Grandma asked him the right question on the right day, and here we are. I am so proud of him. He is growing up so very fast!!

AWESOME!

3rd Place at District Track

Jordan has been running Track for the Jr High. After sitting out the first meet, he competed in the next three, and did really well. He qualified to run at District, and was on 2 relay teams, the 4x100, and 4x400. Both teams placed 3rd. He was the shortest kid running, and he had the best time on the team in the 400(which is a quarter mile) he ran it in 56 seconds. Pretty dang fast!! We are very proud of him, and hope for even better things next year as a 9th grader.

Visit from the tooth fairy!

Payton finally lost his first tooth(on Boston's 5th b-day. Happy birthday Boston) He told me on monday that something cracked when he brushed his teeth, by Wednesday morning it was gone. He is growing up!
