First Day of School!!!

 I'm sad its the first day of school! I felt we haven't really done anything!! But we're going to Disneyland in 3 weeks so I think that will make up for our extremly boring summer!

 Yes I know they are in the sun but this is the only area in my yard that their wasn't any weeds

 My big 6th grader!! I can't believe this is her last year at elementary school!! We talked last night about what to do if a boy asks you out (just making sure she knew she couldn't have a boyfriend...like ever....) Luckily she's not really boy crazy yet.

 Addie has Mrs. Williams this year. Aubree had her too. I told Addie she could have whoever she wanted for 3rd grade and this is who she picked.

 We had a little drama with Aubree this year when we found out who she got. I didn't get any of my teacher requests and she was put into a class that none of her closest friends were in. So i went into the office and became "one of those moms" and got her switched. Now I don't know if I made the right decision because now she's in a class with about 6 of her closest friends!  DRAMA!!!

 (Remember no boyfriends!!!!)   I'm just remembering my 6th grade year. I was BEGGING my mom to let me have a boyfriend! So glad she's not like me!!!!

We changed out Addie's earring this morning and she's very happy to be wearing her new ones!!!

Stansbury Days Kids Triathlon

 Aubree had her big race last night and finished 2nd! YEAH! They have to swim a lap, bike 3 miles, and finish with a mile run.

 love the look on her face

 I didn't get very good pictures of her running. I was in flip flops and trying to chase after her after she was done with her bike (yes picture me running after her in my flip flops and probably screaming at her as well! )

 She was so tired after she was done!!!

 some much needed water

 All best friends and all on the same soccer team (and all live next door!)

 So glad its over!!

Her ribbons were from her track meet she did a couple of weeks ago and they handed them out that night too.

Murray Max Tournament

 Our summer has been all about soccer tournaments!! This was the last one!! This one was the best one because we made it into the finals and placed 2nd!!! And the last 2 games we only had one sub so a lot of our girls were playing the whole entire time without a break.

 gooooooaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll! ( with her left foot I might add!)

 So proud of these girls! They were so happy!

 Aubree's right hip

Their Hope Solo pose (Aubree you're supposed to just bite it, not swallow it!!)

Natural History Museum

 I wouldn't by a membership here, but I thought it was worth seeing one time. Kinda one those things you only need to go one time and call it good.

Wicked...Again!

It was Aubree's turn last night and she loved it! The seats were great and I loved having different views of the stage because I noticed new things about the show. So sad that its over!

Fun Day At The Zoo

 I had a day off so I took the kids to the zoo to see the new polar bear exhibit. It was actually pretty neat so  the Salt lake zoo is somewhat decent now!

 Look closely! Their is a hummingbird above the flower! I shot this as we were waiting for the bird show to start.

 Austin is thrilled beyond words about the bird show. He perked up during the show.

Aubree's 1st Track Meet

The running club (and yes I am just finding out that they have a running club in Stansbury ,but they meet the same night as her soccer practice!) was holding their last track meet and invited non-members to attend. So with special permission from her soccer coach (she was going to miss practice which is a no-no with a tournament coming up!) I took Aubree to the track to see what she could do.

She did the 100m, 400m, and the 200m. I don't have the actual results yet but just from the people I saw her racing against she place 2nd (except for the 200m I couldn't tell in that one) She was a little discouraged but I kept reminding her that most of these kids were on the running club and have been training all summer.

Bye-Bye little boys! This was the 400m

Old soccer buddies. I swear these 2 could be sisters!
