Sophie applied some war paint for her soccer game.

Four generations of my family...

It's a pretty special evening when you can gather four generations of your family together for an event that everyone equally enjoys. Tonight my grandpa Don (mom's dad), my father, brother Bryson and son Jack all went to the Skyline vs. Alta football game. It means a lot to me that Jack can have these fun outings with his grandfather and great grandfather.
Even though skyline lost we had a great evening together. (We have a Skyline bias because both my parents went there, my dad played football on several state champion teams there in the early 70's and my grandparents have lived a few blocks away from the school for over 50 years.)

Jack is so proud of himself...

I came around the corner of our street on my way home from work today and this is what I saw...

Despite her expression, Sophie really is having fun...

Sophie is competing in a more competitive soccer league this fall. Only six kids play at once and they have moved up to the full size soccer fields. All the girls were sucking a lot of wind but they looked like they were having fun. Sophie is playing goalie (a much needed rest) in the picture I posted.

It's time for fall soccer...

Jack started his second year of soccer. His team is the "Red Bulls" and he scored a goal tonight! I'm just relived this year he doesn't lay on the ground and pick dandelions.

Another memorable wedding...

Make it two in a row. This weekend we traveled up to Park City (about 950 fewer miles than last week's distance) for my cousin Jennifer's wedding. The weather and setting were perfect. I love the mountains in the fall and I can't imagine a better setting for a wedding. Jennifer and Matt spared no expense on an incredible weekend. Jack and Sophie got to play a role in the ceremony, ring bearer and attendant. They are becoming wedding professionals. Once again, Sophie danced the night away at the reception. Sophie's favorite thing in the world is to dance and be the center of attention, she has got to do that now two weeks in a row. I don't foresee and more weddings in the near future, stay tuned...

Our little buddy Jack started his last year of preschool today...

Jack is growing up, he was so excited to wake up today and finally start school. I hope his enthusiasm for school lasts! Next year it's going to be strange to have Jack and Sophie in the same school together.

The kids did a whole lot of dancing...and then crashed hard.

Sophie and Jack both had parts in the wedding. Sophie was the most beautiful flower girl ever
and Jack was the most handsome ring bearer in attendance.

This is Wendy's sister Darcy and her family (husband Brian and new daughter Genevive).

Road trip to Kansas...

Last weekend we road tripped out to Kansas to attend Wendy's brothers wedding. The wedding went off without a hitch (lots of input from Wendy and Connie) and everyone had a great time at the reception. It was great to see lots of new babies in the family and many old friends. The final odometer read 2500 miles! Sophie and Jack watched about 25 movies in the back seat, only occasionally taking a break to cage fight.

This picture is Wendy's brother Ramey's family. They have three cute girls, Emerson, Bentley

and new baby Denton.

Memorial Day barbeque with cousin Chase

On Memorial Day we had everyone over to our house for a barbeque. Sophie was having a blast taking pictures of her little cousin Chase. I have to admitt, he was pretty fond of the camera.
