So, I am at work so I will have to post pictures later but the last two weekends have been busy busy. Two weekends ago Danica danced at her Springfest Clogging Competition in Salt Lake City. Her team did awesome - they took 1st place and best overall. Before we left for SLC though we had 3 soccer games. Danica scored 2 goals in her game and she was so excited!! She wants to play comp soccer next year - but I don't know if I am up for that kind of committment - but she really has done well this year in soccer. Myles also had a soccer game and he scored a goal as well - he did great! He is funny - he likes to be a defender better than offensive - reverse of most kids but he is doing great. Lynnaea also had a soccer game and she is learning - she doesn't want to get in anyone's way so she sort of runs to the side of the ball and we will be yelling - "kick the ball Lynnaea" - she did manage to score a goal though and was very excited about that.
This past weekend was the same thing except it was POURING RAIN - I thought Utah was a desert but not last Saturday- it was the rain forest in terms of the amount of rain we got. So, 9:00am I ran my three oldest down for soccer pictures under the bowery and the photography group was trying to brush rain out to keep it away from the equipment. Lynnaea and Danica's soccer games were cancelled due to rain and Myles had a bye and I am very glad because Lynnaea had to be to Lagoon at 10:00am for her first ever dance competition. She was sooo excited. We stopped at Smith's grocery to buy some umbrellas but by the time we walked from the car to the stage she was to perform on everyone was sopping wet. I was trying to help her get her dance shoes on and I was literally wringing water from her socks. She did great though. her team took Best overall out of 38 novice teams. Danica didn't dance until 3:00pm and luckily by then the rain had stopped and a little sun was even shining. Much more pleasant. She did great but we haven't heard her team results yet because we left right after her dance. Jared actually had a Saturday off and so we went on a date together.
We went to a restuarant called Flemings - it is a "nice" steak house. I had a gift certificate my boss gave me. Jared and I decided we are not the ritzy type. I would rather go some where and be comfortable not worried about how I am dressed, which fork I am suppose to using, etc - and I thought my steak was okay but nothing I would pay that much for with my own money. Jared said his was excellent though. Then we went and watched Wolverine - I really liked it - but I like action flicks and I liked the first two X man movies. Anyway, it was fun.
Sunday a big storm blew in and the wind was blowing like a tornado and it lifted the kids play house up off the ground and right into one of my chokecherry trees and snapped it!! AHHH - I need my chokecherries for chokecherry syrup!!
SO, today is Monday and I am here at work. It is very slow for a MOnday as you can tell since I am typing on here. I guess I should go though. Adious.
