The Championship Game

Tyler's team made it to the Championship Football Game!! They are such awesome boys! Many of them have been playing together since 3rd grade! (They are now 6th graders) We didn't win this final regular season game but they played hard. It's always up in the air when it comes to playing Virgin Valley!!! But, now we are done with that on to the first of 2 tournaments! This weekend we go to Mesquite, NV for 3 days for a Youth Football Invitational. All 3 of my boys are playing in this tournament. Then we come home Sunday and head out again on Tuesday for a Thanksgiving Day tournament in Las Vegas, NV for 5 days!! Tournaments are so much fun and all the boys are looking forward to an awesome 2 weeks of MORE football!!! Then...we start basketball!!! I can't even think about that yet!!!

Back to School and Football!!!

Summer is over!!! I can't believe how fast this summer went by! We were busy the whole time and have made some fun memories but I can't remember the summer going by so fast before like it did this year!! The boys were pretty excited to start school. The only thing they didn't like was not being able to stay up till 11 or midnight and not sleeping in till 9 or 10am!!! I agree with them on that one!!! Tyler was super excited to start 6th grade. Here in Utah, they start intermediate school in 6th grade which means they start having 6 teachers instead of just 1!! He was a little nervous, hoping to make it to each class and remember where they all were and so far so good!! And he likes his classes too!! Ryan started 4th grade!! I can't believe he only has 2 more years in elementary school!! My kids are growing up way too fast!!! He loves his teacher too and is so excited to get working! Jacob is now in 2nd grade and thinks his teacher is way cool! She is perfect for Jacob and I think it will be a great year!! Football also began the same week school did!!! All 3 boys are playing this year, so ask me at the end of the season how that went!! Practices aren't that bad cause I have some awesome friends and we carpool to 2nd, 4th and 6th grade practices. I would probably go through a tank of gas a day if we didn't do that!!! When games start September 11th every Saturday we will be watching 3 football games so that day might be a little different...I told Jeff, we will get out the big cooler every Saturday morning, fill it up with drinks and food and head out for the day!!! I am really hoping that we don't have too many overlapping games, I wonder how lucky I will be on that one!!! So, our lives are once again extremely busy, but what household with 3 boys isn't??? Just normal to us!!! And, I did fit in dinner at home for 3 of the last 4 football nights...LOVE MY CROCKPOT!!! HAHA

Jacob was not happy cause I wouldn't go all the way to the edge...Yeah right buddy!!!
Grandma and Ryan

My mom came to visit us for a week and we thought what a fun time it would be to drive out to the Grand Canyon and see the North Rim! It was so fun!! The North Rim isn't as popular as the south rim but it is still sooo beautiful!!! I had a few times that my anxiety kicked in with the heights and when my kids get near the edge, I get the worse pain in my stomach but we all made it out alive and had an awesome time!!! HAHA

Jacob got to go have a week with grandma at her house so while he was gone, Jeff and Tyler were at scout camp. That left Ryan and I at home...we had fun doing a few things by ourselves and then we headed out to California to pick up Jacob. We had fun seeing family and friends! We were either in a swimming pool or at the beach the WHOLE time!!! LOL

I can't believe we are on the downhill side of summer!! I always love when the boys are off from school...sleeping in, family trips, and NO HOMEWORK!!! I can't believe we only have a few weeks left! However, over the next few weeks we still have ALOT of fun things planned! Right now, Jacob is visiting grandma Cheryl in California for a week! Tyler and Jeff leave Tuesday for scout camp for 5 days. So, Ryan and I are left at home! But, we have some fun things planned as well and will eventually get out to California this week to pick up Jacob! I haven't posted for quite a while so I thought I would add some pictures of fun stuff we have been doing over the last few months...enjoy!!
