Cheer Camp for Syd...blue ribbon winners!

Cheer Camp for Sydnie was in Park City this year. They all met at the McKenzie's house on Tuesday morning to go up...Then on Friday, we went up to see the week's worth of hard work. They did fabulous! They have got a very talented squad with fun girls. Sydnie had a great time up there and every night that I talked to her, she would say "I am having fun!" Yea...if you're having fun, it must be a success then!

The All-American winners...

Impact Tournament Champions!

Brinley is on a new soccer team. It is still with LaRoca but a different coach and different girls. It is going to be an awesome team. They are very talented girls. This tournament is the very first time they have played together as a team and they took 1st place. They all played so good, it was a lot of fun to see them doing so well and being so successful! Her new coach is Souli and we like him a lot, he is a great coach. When Lyndsie was in the 9th grade, Souli was a teacher there at Syracuse Jr. High and Lyndsie was his T.A. and she really liked him too. It is going to be a good year for soccer and I think that Brinley will enjoy it a lot more than last year.

A Super Fun Weekend!!!

Wow, we had the best weekend! We started out friday morning with Sam's golf tournament and after that Sam left with Stephanie to go up to Midway for the weekend and we would catch up with them later... Brinley was in a soccer tournament in Cottonwood Heights...so we had to go there first to play their third game of the tournament. They won and then afterwards Brinley and I drove up to Midway. We had so much fun up there. Stephanie invited us to go up for the weekend. Kim and her girls went up along with Amy Davis and her kids. It was a fun bunch...thank you Steph for inviting us! We had a yummy dinner and then went swimming with all of the kids. After swimming, we all just relaxed while the kids played and played and played.

I always tease Stephanie about her being the best photographer...her pictures are always so good! Well...I had spotted this nest and had taken a picture of it and a few minutes later, Steph also took a picture. Check out how good hers is. Mine is the first one and hers is the second one with the mother swooping in while all of the babies have their mouths open. The perfect picture. We compared our photos and just laughed at the difference. She is good!

The next morning in Midway, we woke up to this beautiful view. Thanks again Stephanie for a great overnighter! My family loved it.

Golf Clinics...a success

Sam loved golf clinics...He got up every day to be ready for his 8:00 class. Today was the last day and they had a fun golf tournament with prizes and lunch for everyone. Sam won a prize for getting the ball closest to the hole...he won it because he got a "Hole in One"!! I was so proud of him. He is so funny and he was quite proud of himself!

A Day at the Pool...

After we got Lyndsie off to Cheer Camp and Sam had had his golf lesson, we headed over to the Roy Pool. It is such a fun place to go...we went with the Sill's, Larsen's, and Garretts. We had a great day in the sun. It is always fun going with such great neighbors. Brinley hung out with McKenna and Sam had Colter, Wyatt, and Kobe to go have fun with.

Our House is being Repaired!

Our house is going to be okay! They have come in and dried it all out...our front room and our basement. And now they are repairing the damages inside and out. They treated it for mold and we had to evacuate for about 3 hours is all and soon things will be as good as new. They are going to replace the wood that has rotted and then re-stucco and then finish the inside. It could have been a lot worse and come to find out, it happens to a lot of people. Twelve years ago, homes with stucco were generally not done correctly, so repairs like ours are somewhat expected. Darn...I would rather go on an incredible vacation than pay for this!

Golfing...Trying out another sport

Sam loves to be outside playing sports, riding his bike, etc...I knew that he would love to take golf lessons and learn another sport. He signed up with Colter, Kobe, and Seth. He loved his first day and I am sure that he will have a great week.
