Soccer Season Begins!


Riley is starting on a team league this year. I'm so excited to see her first game! She was so excited to begin her practice. I think she got a little intimidated, because some of the other kids are a bit older and didn't give her a chance with the ball. When we left she said "I'm the worst kicker ever" poor girl. We've had to talk about not giving up and just run and have fun, oh and not to let the kids take the ball away - GO AND GET IT BACK! Mike especially, because he is assistant coaching.
We should be in for an exciting season!! Go Riley!

A visit from my parents!

My Mom and Dad came out from St. George last week. They split their time between us, and my sister Traci in Modesto. We had such a blast! We were constantly going and going, except at night when we konked out, because we had so much fun!

Here are some fun pictures of just a few of the things we did:

The first day we went to Capitola. We watched all the surfers, walked all the village shops, and ate at a yummy lunch there.
(this is the only pic I have its from a phone - can you see us?( its Traci, me, Dad & Mom)

My parents stayed in a hotel. The first thing my girls did when they went in, was climb in the bed and ask to watch a show - not surprising.
We went swimming in the hotel pool. We were so happy it was heated! Its been a really cool August for us here, which is nice, but not when you want to get your swim on!
Every time my sister visits, we have to make a trip to Powells Sweet Shoppe. I wish I had a picture of it, its the coolest candy/ice cream shop ever. It has every kind candy imaginable. Its in our little downtown area. Then we walked down the streets to look at all the cool little shops, while the kids ate their candy - and Chloe stopped to climb trees.


I love Conner's face, while Chloe is trying to climb down.
We had a great trip. I'm so glad my parents came. Riley and Chloe adored them, not to mention, they bought us all kinds of goodies while they were here. I hope they can come back soon!
