Christian: Fall Soccer

Go KILLER BEES!

 

Christian #6

Watching Christian play soccer has been a blast! He is so full of energy! It probably seems like forever to him that he has had to sit on the sidelines and watch his brothers play. Finally, it is his turn and you can tell he has been to many a' soccer games. He is a pro!!

 

Those of you that know Mr. C well know how physical he is. No different in soccer! He better knock it off before he gets into yellow cards!

Most of the kids at this age hesitate and kind of wander around the field. Christian gets busy and takes it to the GOAL!!

His has this ceremonial drop and roll that he does after every goal he makes! It is the funniest thing!

 

 

Amy: Fall Comp Softball

Bountiful's VOODOO

AMY BLACK #1

 

Bountiful's 12U girls comp team asked Amy to be on their team for this fall.

 

Amy mostly played outfield with an occasional inning as 2nd Base. The team overall was a very rookie team and only won one game. Kind of a disappointing season after such an awesome All Star Summer. She kept a good attitude and worked hard.

 

In October, Voodoo participated in the Halloween Havoc Tournament in Spanish Fork. The teams dressed up in costume. Of course, Voodoo were voodoo dolls. I was surprised that there was only one other team that dressed up as something that had to do with their team name.

 

They never won a game, but had a couple of close ones. Amy played really well. Her team did end up winning the "Best Team Costume" Award and they all got a free matching softball t-shirt for winning. They were excited to get something from the tournament. 

 

 

Brigs: Soccer

GO BLACK PANTHERS!!!!

 Brigham is back on the same team he played with in the spring. A great group of boys and their coach is pretty good! They are undefeated so far!

 This is the first year the team has had a goalie and really played defense. Brigham does not like being goalie.

 

 Brigs is an animal on the soccer field! He gets the game and it is fun to watch him dominate. His team passes to one another and is good at staying in their positions. Brigham knows what is going on around him and reevaluates with every move. No more "huddle ball"!

After each goal, their coach will throw them in the air. They love it!

I thought this was a great picture!

(one of these days, the coach is going to throw his back out!)

 

 

Amy: Fall Rec Softball

GO PINK PIRATES!

Arrrggghhhh! #9

Amy wanted to play Rec softball so she could be wither best friend Riley.

 

She played mostly 1st and 2nd and then half way through the season her coach had her start pitching.

 

 

 

Amy was a great pitcher. She had too many strike outs to keep track of. The Pink Pirate's season started off rough due to their horrible coach, but the seasoned girls ended up pulling off some great games and wins at the end, when their coach wasn't able to attend. No joke!

4 Wheeling to Uintah Land

We headed east to drive around and look at the fall colors. We went through Evanston and back into Utah around the area of Bear River Lodge. This is a beautiful area with lots of cabins, miles and miles of 4 wheeling roads and a creeping river.
We are taking our time in looking for some land to build a cabin on and we found some pretty good spots. A realtor let us into one cabin for sale and we just rode around taking it all in.

BSA camp

Aspens were beginning to loose their leaves

We slept in the van... yes all eight of us. It was cozy and ...humid.

Brigham and Jess ended up having accidents during the night and so we had to get their clothes dried out in the morning because we brought no extras!

We listened to general conference on the radio and sat by the campfire.

After conference we rode around some more and this was a cool bridge we went on to cross the east fork of the Bear River. Good times!

This girl steals her Daddy's heart...

when she goes golfing!

Katelyn:Volleyball

Katelyn was super sad when she didn't make the Jr. High volleyball team. With all the practice and training in volleyball this summer that made her a volleyball ROCK STAR when church ball came around! They only lost 3 games and we are waiting to see if they are going on to region. if they go to region I vow to get better pictures ;)!!

 It was fun to play against some of her friends in other wards too!

Briggy loves the ladies...

and sometimes they love him back!

 

 Brigham found this "little" critter crawling around under the big light at one of Amy's softball games. As I am sitting in the stands spectating I look around to see where all the kids are playing. I looked and looked and couldn't find Brigham. Started to get worried and here he was right under my nose, but I couldn't see him because he was surrounded by big girls. the more they said "Ewww" the bigger his smile got!

4 Wheeling to Cascade Springs

Sept 20, 2013
After school and work we headed up to Heber to ride around. It was a beautiful evening!! there were some trees that were turning colors and it was a bit chilly as the sun went down.

The climb up was a bit bumping and rough.

We didn't plan on going to Cascade Springs , but we were glad we did.

 

 "Every second, 1800 average glasses of water come from Cascade Springs"

That's a lot of water!
