UMPIRING 24 Games in ONE WEEKEND!

Carlos trying to keep cool. It was a very HOT weekend. At least all of us besides Juan enjoyed the beach.

Juan grabbing a snack before he started his next game. He did 24 games in three days. He literally worked from 8am to 10pm almost everyday.

The boys enjoying the water. It was great and I even jumped in too. It was warm enough to get wet from head to toe and then dry off in a few minutes. HOT!!!

Juan behind the plate. He probably did over 20,000 squats and who knows how many steps.

Juan taking a breather....Not really but He sure enjoys this. Except for the few coaches and parents who don't realize umpires are human too.

We went to a little play about Butch Cassidy robbing the Montpelier bank. It was simple and small town play. The boys went to and reminded me it was hotter and they could perform it better.

The sexy girls at the saloon.

Butch and his gang robbing the bank. The lady in the middle is my Dad's cousin Anita Johnson.

Carson and Carlos enjoying the beach and relaxing.

Bear Lake North Beach. quite busy but no rocks, weeds, or brown stuff (as Carlos called it).

These people were playing a fun beach game with sticks and the boys thought it would be fun to play so I took a picture and am looking it up on the Internet to try to figure out what game it is. We had a fun trip but missed Michaela. She stayed and worked and was with her grandma and aunty Jody.

Loni's 4-H Contests and Swimming

Loni's poster for her Presentation at 4H fair.

Loni giving her presentation talk.

Loni won best overall beating some older kids out. She was quite confident. It was great to watch her shine!

Loni with her trophy.

Tyler getting out of the pool all by himself. Lots of work but he took swimming lesson and her can get out himself. They teach survival techniques in California so kids won't drowned or panic.

Tyce being his funny self.

Jody and Joss swimming. Joss drank a little too much water.

Debi and Loni hanging and getting a tan.....SUNBURN.

Ada getting into the pool.

Carlos loving the swim time. Both Michaela and Carson were at other events for the day. We had a good time but missed them.

Carlos swimming and being a great helper.

All this for Loni. She was so excited. She was nervous because she won best overall last year but didn't think she would win again this year. She liked another presentation too but Loni is so confident its amazing.

Bridesmaid Already

Michaela and her cousin Kaitlin. two peas in a pod. Love these two. Thank you Kaitlin for being a great cousin. We love you!

Kassy coming down the isle. Isn't she beautiful!

All my great kids. They all dressed up and look great. They didn't even complain. Carson is even making sure he looks nice. Can you see who is taller? I think Michaela may be done growing but only the guy upstairs knows that.

Michaela with Denise who is Jordan's mom and Michaela's second mommy.

Kassy and Jordan getting ready to become husband and wife.

Michaela and Matty at Kassy and Jordan's wedding. This was Michaela's escort and they are perfect. Tiny and outgoing.

 Our set up minus the boat which I am standing by.

 The first evening Loni and Michaela went for a swim but the rest of us just watched and enjoyed.

 Getting all hooked up and having fun in the boat.

All Caught Up!

As some of you may know I started working at the school district full time this year along with continuing my education at Idaho State University. Needless to say, I am so busy I don't even have time to pee. I work, go to school, go to any games, practices, help with homework, try to make dinner, study, try to stay in touch with my husband, and try to sleep. Some days I go to bed at 2 or 3 and feel great when I wake up....No I'm lying. I am almost finished and decided to take summer school to get even a better jump start. I hate it. Four plus papers due every week is killing me but I am doing great and trying to keep myself sane. When I am pooped or tired of studying or doing homework I take the kids out to eat or go do something. Only 2 and a half weeks left and then some fun. I want to take more classes but I think I need to rest and have fun with my kids over the summer. Enjoy them because before you know it they will be gone. Michaela is a senior at Highland and Carson is a freshman and Carlos is in 5th grade. He is keeping me young. Thank you. I love this life but it is hard. One day at a time and just enjoy what comes your way. Don't sweat too much and Don't hold a grudge. It only hurts you. Love you all and enjoy your family, friends, and yourself.

Final Soccer pictures...Carson

An Uncle of one of Carson's teammates took these great photos and with a very knowledgeable husband with computers we got them. I love what they capture and it makes you feel as if you are getting a bit of insight into who Carson is. ENJOY!

 

 

Carson getting a header. Love the face and concentration.

 Some great boys who played their hearts out!

 Carson receiving his medal from his coach, who has coached him the past 6 1/2 years. No on to High school soccer.

 One of everyone's favorites. He is tired but has a look that he still has something to do.

 YEAH! we can do this and one down only a few more games to go.

 Carson in action and can you see his hands and the intensity in his face.

 YES! We did it. Just relaxing before the ceremony.

Don't know what was happening here but Carson said he didn't want to smile and he remembers getting this picture taken. A great pic.

 

We are truly soccer fans. I love that my son enjoys it and that even though he has asthma this has never stopped him from running some 5+ miles in every game he plays. More than ready for high school yet he will be a Highland Ram when I was a Pocatello Indian and still am(get the pun?)
