Soccer

Just a couple of SHORT videos of the kids playing soccer. They both had such a fun time this year. Mikaela absolutely loved it and Spencer's team was co-champions with an Ephraim team. It worked out great.! Watch how Mikaela kicks the ball in bounds and in comes right back to her. Too funny! Spencer is in yellow and gets to kick the ball a few times. Anyway, it's fun to watch them play.

High School Musical 2

If you're a High School musical fan........ you'll love this. While we were in St. George last weekend, we were able to go to the club house where parts of High School Musical 2 were filmed. One of the players on Gary's softball team was staying in one of the houses there and invited us over. Mikaela was ecstatic! Here are a few pictures of the kids playing in the pool that was in the moive. Does it look familiar?

Isn't Halloween fun?............when it's over! JK

This year for Halloween we had two vampires, and a fairy. They didn't decide until a couple of days before Halloween what they wanted to be, so they pulled what we had out of the Halloween box and went to it. All of the kids got to help in the Spook Alley at Candies on Main. That was the highlight of Halloween time. They got to do that for five nights total. There was a Trunk or Treat on Main Street and that is where the kids got all of their candy! Way too much!

Heber Valley Camp

Not too long ago, Gary & I took the three youngest kids and went to Heber Valley Camp where Gary received his Woodbadge beads. What a neat place! The leaves were just starting to change colors, so we had to stop and snap a few photos. Lots of girls come up here for girls camp every year. Those girls don't know what "camping" is all about when they go up here. It would be a great place for a family reunion someday. You have to book about two years in advance to get a spot.

Michigan Softball

Ok............. so here goes the first post to the "blog" page. We just got back from Detroit Michigan where Gary played in the D World Softball Tournament with his team called "Thunderbay". They won their first 3 games, lost their 4th, won the 5th, and had to forfeit their 6th. One of the players on their team threw his bat and got ejected from the game and there was no players to replace him. They only took 10 players(enough for everyone to play all the time). They ended up placing 25th out of 192 teams.

The weather was perfect for watching softball games. The high's were in the low 80's every day that we were there. It was hard coming back to colder temperatures in Utah where there was snow in the mountains the day after we got home. Brrr....

The kids didn't seem to miss us one little bit. They were just excited about what we brought home for them from Steve & Barry's.
