Fabulous Weekend!!

We live for the weekends.  September is always a "slow" month.  We are just getting into the swing of the new school year, and we have football every day and soccer also.  So we are pretty predictable as to where we will be, either school/work or the football/soccer field.  But on the weekend, we like to break lose a little and have some extra fun.  This weekend was a busy one, but a fabulous one!!

Rocky Mountain played on Friday afternoon.  Even though a loss is tough to take,  when you play as awesome as Owen did in the game, you just still have to be so proud. 

 I missed out on Davis's game this week because he and Gator played at the same time.  I couldn't make it at half time either because he was playing up in Mountain Crest.  They remain undefeated this season and here are some pictures from last weeks game. 

 Gator played her little heart out, even though she got hit with the ball numerous times, one square in the face!  Her team was short players this week, so the 5 that were there had to play the whole hour.  Gator was forward the whole time and rocked it!

 She was pooped, and had to hitch a ride to the car. 

 For 3 months, Owen has been practicing with the ward for the Cultural Celebration in conjunction with the Temple rededication.   The performance was last night at the Dee Events Center.  Parents were asked to stay home and watch the broadcast at the church because there just wouldn't be room for everyone.  So I stayed back and was amazed as I watched from the church and felt the spirit so strong.  I got a text from Owen after the performance, he said "the spirit was so strong, it was so cool."  It made me so happy to receive that text and hear that he had such a testimony building experience.  I felt it and I'm grateful he was able to as well.  He was so happy and excited when he got home, I love that he had this opportunity. 

 Grace came in town for a short visit.  We were so excited to see her.  This morning, we had a family breakfast so we could all visit and enjoy the morning together. 

 I'm sure the kids were expecting this.  I wasn't going to have them all together and not a get a picture!

 A Sunday during football season calls for this attire. 

 And if Gator is anywhere near Lu a picture has to be taken! 

 After breakfast, we were planning on going to the dedication of the temple and helping Krissy out with watching her younger kids, so she could in turn help with Ally.  We thought it would be pointless to go all the way home just to come back to Kaysville so we went and crashed at Stewarts house and turned the day into a all day family day. 

 What an awesome cloud burst there was today.  And cause we would hate to miss a good rain storm this happened......

 Davis, Owen and I went to the dedication.  I hope they felt even a little of what I felt.  And I hope I always let them know how important temples and family are to me. 

 Sheila let the boys turn her basement into a "man cave".  They love their football watching place and get together on Sunday's for Sunday night football. 

 Ha ha ha, the boys wanted to take mug shots today with their numbers.  I went along with it after they promised these would be the only time pictures like this would ever be taken.  They thought they were pretty funny.
