Soccer

A little family pre-game warm-up session. CJ loves soccer. During Emily's games he sits on the sidelines and yells "Go Deen Durdles" translation...Go Green Turtles.
Here are two pictures of her first game. This league cracks me up. I'm sure it's better for the kids and they have more fun, but some of the "rules" are a little strange to me. Whenever the ball goes out of bounds the coaches throw a new ball onto the field in any location they want to. The girls play 3v3 and they just run around like crazy. It is seriously breakaway after breakaway. No passing or learning areas of the field at this age. Emily does seem to have a great time and last week she scored two goals and received her end of the season trophy.

Church

If only every Sunday were like this...

Church hadn't started yet and I thought it was too cute to pass up the photo-op. We actually spent quite a bit of sacrament in the nursery.

Family Photo

Because we never get our picture taken here is one of the four of us.

The Beach

My parents took some of the grandkids down to Virginia Beach in September. I decided to drive down with my two and join them. The kids had a great time playing in the surf and digging holes.
Here are some pictures:


We found several horseshoe crabs. We threw them back in the water but they kept washing ashore.





We saw several dolphins in the water too. The kids loved the sand!







Emily begins the hole. It was a washing well, a jumping pit, a trap, and a whole lot of fun.
