SPRING SPORTS

 We had another fun season participating in SPRING sports at our house.  Sadie trained 1 day a week with the soccer academy this year and played in games with her rec team.  She loved being with the academy and will probably keep training 1 day with them again in the fall but she LOVES playing soccer with her buddies and wants to stay on the rec team with them.  I personally would LOVE it if she decided not to go comp.  It is a pretty big commitment and one that Sadie isn't quite sure she would want since she still loves to dance and is interested in doing more tumbling.  We sure love watching her play soccer.  She is pretty aggressive and not afraid to get in there and get the ball.  

GREAT JOB SADIE! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jake participated again this year with the OLYMPUS JR. track team.  He ran in the mile and 400 meter.  He did pretty good considering he did ABSOLUTELY NO TRAINING.  His fastest mile was 5.43.  I guess it's a good thing he is a natural.  It is fun to watch our kids run since it is a big part of our lives.
 

AWESOME SEASON JAKE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Will just finished his second year of competitive soccer.  He has decided to trade in his soccer cleats for football cleats in the fall.  He is pretty excited to try out football.  It was a hard decision for him because he is an AWESOME soccer player but heck, he is only 12 so he should be able to tryout new things.   It has been really interesting how some of his friends have reacted.  I am not quite sure he will maintain friendships with some that have been super lame and not quite nice about his decision.  I have told him soccer isn't everything and friendships are so I hope some of these boys remember that.  Although we will miss watching that AWESOME left foot run the ball down and score, we are pretty proud of Will to have the courage to try something new, and yes Will, YOU ARE good enough at soccer that if football isn't a good fit you can always go back!

GREAT SEASON WILL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MOTHER'S DAY

 I had a great Mother's Day this year.  Mike and the kids made me breakfast (hashbrowns, eggs, sausage, bacon and juice) and gave me some of the things I love...Diet coke, Chocolate covered pretzels, Orange sticks, Chocolate covered strawberries and the best of all was a card which each of them wrote how much they loved and appreciated me.  It made my day :)  After church we went and ate dinner with the Dean's and then had dessert with the Nelson's.  It was a fun day of celebrating with our families.  We are so lucky to have such great women in our lives that have influenced us and made us who we are.  We LOVE our moms and are so grateful to have them in our lives ;)

 

 

 

CANYON RIM PARK

 We had a picnic at Canyon Rim Park on Saturday May 4th with the Nelson Clan while Mel and Brad were in town.  They came to interview for a JOB.  It's crazy that Brad is almost done with Medical School :)  They interviewed in Logan, Salt Lake and Boise.  We can't wait to find out where they will be moving next July.  All we know is it will be a heck of a lot closer then Illinois so we are pretty excited about that :)  We had great fun eating, playing at the park, kickball and celebrating Josh's birthday.  It is always a good time when we get together with the Nelson's... our kids LOVE to spend time with their cousins :)
