    No Comments

    We did a youth conference on August 11th – it was 7am until 10 pm. They got up and did some yard work in the neighborhood and then had a big breakfast.

    After breakfast they all headed up to Tibble Fork and played in the water and had lunch and played some games.

    After being up the canyon everyone came home and showered and then headed over the the Frandsen, Cragun, Stott yard for Cafe Rio and campfire and volleyball and treats and games:

    Benji’s team won the competition for the day:

    Ben and the kids had a REALLY good day!

    Celtic Soccer – Cali and Mia and Anna – It’s pretty great having soccer start early and it is really great having all 3 girls together! Coach Jake and Udine are having Cali try forward and mid instead of defense so she’s learning a lot. Mia and Anna are both playing defense.

    Rose and Gentry making bracelets! And Benji, Packer and Cali got their 1st dose Covid Vaccine. Cali got a little sick from the shot but was still able to play in her soccer game and have cute hair. And get a good look at her 7th grade schedule!!

    We had some chill days and some night time soccer practice and other night time fun. Summer evenings are the best.

    And another Soccer game on the 6th.

    Girls Camp – June 9-11

    No Comments

    Cali’s First Girls Camp! They went up the Canyon near Logan Utah and stayed at Kristin Drakes dads house. They got to do a ropes course and hiking and Bear Lake. They did yoga and devotionals and Cali even bore her testimony. Cali and Ben both said it was amazing! Kristin was director and Michelle was one of her assistants and Ben got to be priesthood leadership. I’m so happy they had such a good camp and good leaders.

    Soccer Tryout Week is such a roller coaster of emotions. I think I stress more than Cali! She went to Arsenal and Surf and Celtic tryouts and she got offers. She chose to play for Celtic on a Premier 2 team with Anna and Mia and Udine is the assistant coach!!! Hurray!

    At this same assembly Rose got the Kindness award for her class!! And Mia and Gentry got it for their classes. We have awesome kids and awesome “cousins”!

    May Madness

    No Comments

    Baby Sitting Quincy and some of Becca’s kids. And moving the trampoline over to the old garden spot! My kids are absolutely loving the new location. And a weeknight soccer game! Cali played well in this one but they just couldn’t score and ended up losing to a team they shouldn’t have. She asked coach what she could work on and he said speed and the hard clear.

    I made the boys go to the orthodontist. Benji learned that he is missing 2 adult teeth! His baby teeth are still in and may stay for a while but there are no adult teeth to fill their spot. He is trying to decide if he wants braces or not…. And Packer still has to wait for some teeth to come in – he’s finally lost them all but it’s too early to brace them.

    Another day in the life with Nixon – he swung the baseball bat and golf club for probably 3 hours. It’s been beautiful porch weather – soaking in the Lilacs and the trampoline!
