and.........

On my birthday between shopping and SLC  I got to go and watch Kadrey at her soccer game - she is awesome:)  her team won 11 to 1.  She made 8 of the goals (Dan finally had to move her back to play defence, because really after a beating like that no one is having fun).  I don't get to watch her saturday games all the time and so I love when I do get to see them.  She does play on a comp team (it all boys except her:)  and those games are in the evening during the week so I get to see all of those.

She is growing up so fast I can hardley believe it.  Already 9 and thinks she is all grown-up.

My Birthday!

So this last week I turned 31 years old....can you believe it 31.  I don't feel that old and i hope I don't look that old - I remember as a kid always thinking that people in their 30's were so old - but people don't think that anymore right?! haha

I had an awesome birthday - My Best Friend from High School came to town and after many years of not seeing her we got to spend the whole day together.  We went to the mall and bought clothes (well, mostly she bought), we then went to O.H.S  (they have been remodeling the school for a bunch of years)    they were having an open house to show off how fancy it is now (some parts are still under construction weird huh?!)  We then went to SLC and went to the General RS meeting (I have never been to the conference center it was pretty amazing)  - it was so nice to go (her sister  - in - law got tickets and took us:)  Then we went to Red Lobster!  Such a fun night.

I hope we can get together much more often then we have in the past:)  maybe now that she lives in this state that will help right

Weekend of fun -

We sure did have a lot of fun this weekend -
Jax had his soccer game and scored 2 goals and Kadrey scored 6 (maybe it was 5 - either way amazing right?!).  I had asked for Saturday off because originally my family was going to go to Logan and watch Kassi (Dan's cousin) run a marathon - sadly Kadreys game started in the afternoon and Kassi ran too fast (that part is not sad:)  so we never  got to see her run.  But after the run she brought the gang down to see us and watch the end of Kadreys game - they all ended hanging out at our house most of the evening ... we had a BBQ, roasted mallows, and just hung out.  It was a lot of fun (we have not all gotten together in like 5 years).
My sister had her birthday this past week so on Sunday me and the kids went to my parents house where they had a little party for her.  My dad made some yummy food for dinner (i do not know how to spell it but I will try - millinasa - ) and I made the cake and we just sat around and laughed and had a good time.  I went to their house earlier this week and I was helping my sister make some lemon bars because it was her b- day and she really wanted some - not my best work that day- they were a total failure:)  but the cake turned out good.
This weekend should be fun my friend from high school is going to be in town -
I will try to remember pic of that day:)

REAL Soccer game.

We had the opportunity (like a week and a half ago) to go and watch a "professional" soccer game with some cousins.  We had a blast!

 The game was Real Salt Lake vs. Philadelphia Union
                  

 

We sat right behind the goal - it was kinda crazy having balls fly at us - but Dan caught 2 and got to throw them back to the goalie so he was pretty excited.






 We all had such a fun time and we hope we get to go again .  Really Kadrey would love to go to Argentina and watch them play and Dans dream has always been to go to England and watch Manchester play but I guess that watching Real play will have to do for now:)

soccer season is back.

I have to say that I am not as excited for it as I usually am but that is only because I have to work on Saturdays now.
Dan is coaching both kids this year.  I was not there but from what I am hearing - Both kids had amazing games.  Both teams lost, but Kadrey and Jaxon did awesome.
 Just have to remind them (and maybe me) that soccer is a team sport and not one person can win the game and the most important things are to try your best and have fun.
