Utah Summer Games-2009

Back from the summer games in Cedar City. What a great four days! Ellie's U9 soccer team competed in the highest U10 bracket. They surprised alot of the teams and actually took first in the bracket. Unfortunately, they lost in the semi finals but did play in the bronze medal game and grab that. We are so proud of her!

An overnight trip to Las Vegas topped off our trip as we feasted on Alaskan king crab, sushi and creme brulee. Ellie of course, wore her medal everywhere!

Let Summer Begin!

Another school year over and summer is here! Ben graduated last wednesday from kindergarten. He looked very "handsome" in his white shirt and tie. This was Mr. Garcia's last year teaching at OPA so it was very emotional for him and the children. Not very many dry eyes in the room- especially Mr. Garcia himself.

Ben continues to rehab from his broken clavicle. That consists of playing "Red Rover, Red Rover" at Ellie's soccer team picnic, dancing around and doing tricks on a trampoline- and Scott and I wonder why it has slipped and had to take him to an pediatric orthopedic specialist-LOL.

Ellie received a Presidential Academic Award at school. We are so proud! Thank you Mrs. VanPatten!

Ellie made one of the LaRoca U10 girl soccer teams. She was very nervous at tryouts Tuesday and Thursday, but Scott and I had no doubts. Now it's off to the Utah Summer Games next week!
