Vegas Baby Yea

Last Thursday the Anderson's brought there 2 daughters over to the house to watch them for the week and we went over to the Anderson's house to spend the night so we could leave early to Vegas. It was nice to have some quiet time there. We left about 9:30 before James forgot he had to pay for the Futsal so we made a stop off at the guys house and then off we went. We stopped a couple of times for people to use the restroom.



When we got there we went to the soccer complex to check out the field. It was ok but it had a lot of dead grass. We checked in at the condo and boy was it nice. We met up with everyone on the team and took them trick or treating in a brand new subdivision of Model homes. The boys made out like bandits with how much candy they got.



The following day we had the tournament. They tied the first game, won the second game and lost the last one 3-2. After that the boys wanted to go back and go swimming so we did. Later that night we went out to the strip to go to Treasure Island but the show got cancelled so we went to the Balligio hotel to see the water fountains go and caugh the end of that. We went to the Coca Cola place and then on to the M&M store. He got a bag of assorted colors and stuff. The Streets of Vegas are horrible. We had to keep our eyes infront of us to we didn't see the naked pictures that the Clicker people were handing out to people. We took a cab back to the hotel and in took us 10 minutes instead of 25-30 min with the traffic.

The next day they played another game which put them in the Semi-final but they lost that game to some mistakes made the the players and coach. So they played for 3rd or 4th and ended up taking 3rd. We left Monday to come home. I was gad that the Anderson's had a dvd player in there van. I'd like to thank the Andereson's for everything they did for us while we were down there.

Seasons Over

Well Shawn's football team was the First Sophomore team to go Undefeated at Riverton. They played Hunter High school. From the First Kick Return to the last hit where a kid from Hunter suffered a concussion Riverton thumped them hard, real hard. It has been exciting video taping the boys and going back and editing the tape to make a highlight video for them. Hopefully next year I can get some different software to help me with the editing.

Catch up

It's been forever since I wrote in our blog last. The whole family is doing well except Shawn because of the broken leg. He's been a trooper though. He's still going to practice everyday and supporting his team. Kelly has been struggling with her school stuff. Val and I are trying to help her hte best we can but there needs to be more effort from her. A.J. is still doing his soccer during the week. He had to goals last week. The last one he made won the game for them. Rylie comes home everyday from school and is excited about her homework and trying to read. She's always writing her letters and numbers. Peyton is our little happy girl. Jordyn is sleeping better and is constantly smiling at everyone, especially A.J. Val seems to be enjoying her job and Quiznos and myself well it's the same old Merit just a different day.

Well our computer has been down for a couple of days because the hard drive went on out us so we had to call the place and they sent us a new hard drive yesterday and just got it today. That's why you haven't seen anything and Val's blog. Shawn's team killed Copperhills 42-0. The real test will be when they play Bingham in 2 weeks.

Shawn's team once again destroyed another team. It was a pretty close game at the beginning because it was a sloppy game but in the second half Riverton turned it on. He seemed like Riverton would run 1 play and score and then Jordan would have the ball and punt it back to Riverton would score off 1 play. It was crazy. Val and some of the kids are going to be going to a tail gating party tonight at the church house. A.J's got a game so him and I will be late for the party. Val is having a good time working at Quiznos. Kelly is going through that teenage thing. She rarely is out of her room. Rylie is just one of those free spirits and Peyton doesn't like that Val is working. Every time she comes home from work Val can't leave her sight. Jordyn is just being Jordyn just smiling away.

We had a good weekend. Val hosted a baby shower that 4 people showed up for. So she was a little mad about that. Than she went to a birthday party with the kids at bouncing off the walls. Shawn's football team slaughtered Hillcrest and A.J's team lost in the last seconds of his game by a goal. The Indoor soccer team that I play on beat our team 7-2. We went over to mom's house for dinner. She made her chicken noodle soup with bow tie noodles and her home made rolls and Cinnamon rolls, and boy was it tasty.

The boys

Shawn had a good football game last week. His team won 46-14. A.J. had a soccer game on Friday and his team won like 10-2. I've been riding my bike to work and so gar have lost 5lbs, yea. I have been feeling pretty bad late with a bad stomach. Val is liking her job at Quiznos. Starting next week she will work the night shift which will be good.
