Fall soccer season! Lots of sitting on the soccer sidelines!

Protect us from the weather! A Storm is COMING!

Nice throw-in!

Would you like to see the other pictures I get from kids taking pictures on the soccer sideline?

 

awesome. okay, the ones of cooper and charlie are cute, but shoe, grass, wrappers, soccer field & umbrella's? huh! but I love it.

Gonna Miss Her!

I remember holding this little girl, walking around my grandparents house getting her to sleep. I babysat her many times. She has grown up so beautifully. I ran races with her, camped with her, laughed with her, cheered her on in marching band! Sister Charlotte Gatrell is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Riverside, California get ready! I love my little cousin Charlotte! She is a great, strong example to me, and I wish her 18 months of fun, hard work!

Ute Fan Fest

Going back to the warm days of summer, I took the kids to the University of Utah for the Ute Fan Fest. First stop, Utah Gymnastics team! LOVE them, love them! Autographs, tattoos and posters! Best EVER!!

 

 Second best to the gymnasts, is the marching band! Loved that they were there! Those were good days in the Utah Marching Band! Cheerleaders and Crimson Line were there too. I was really impressed that the two girls we got pictures with were locals! Gals from Utah! Cool.

 

 Soccer team stop! Awesome!

 Bounce house-Cool!

 It was really, really warm there, so tired, grumpy sophie came out!

 Thank goodness for free popcorn from the baseball team!

Last days of summer fun

Before school started, we headed up to the Kaysville Splash Pad with our friends B&B. My kids liked this one! Fun times in the sun!

Back to school!

Fifth, third and first grade for these kids! Make it a great year kids! Work hard! I think you each have good teachers to fit you!

Other summer highlights

Riding the train into The Gateway for school shopping. Jimmy is happy, I promise!

 

Sometimes those two like each other. Cute picture of them talking while waiting for the train.

 

 

A 40th birthday party for Jimmy's friend Matt (red shirt)

 

Since when did we have an apple tree in our yard? New discovery this summer, but can't really reach the apples. Can you see them? No wonder the deer like our yard, free apples!

School lunch

I really love the free summer lunch program each year. It only lasts about 2 months, and we make it half the time, but oh, when we make it, it's great. We invite friends, or see friends there. We play at the playground or not. It's good. Less dishes, saves $$, socialization for the kids, practice for my first grader going thru a lunch line, gets us dressed by at least 11:30! The kitchen stays cleaner! Come on! Why don't more people enjoy it as much as me! :)
