Last Day Of Summer Fun!

Today is my last day with my sweet wonderful boys! We decided to spend the morning at Toads with Jamie, her kids and Logan. It's been so great having Toads passes! I'm excited for school but man I'm going to miss my boys being here every day!

The Strikers Cup

This week both Tyler and Matt played in the Strikers cup. They both played SO well! It's just so much fun to watch them play that it makes all of the nuttiness worth it! Ty's team did well, their best tournament yet, and Matt's team took second place! It was so fun! Grandpa Staten stopped by for a game, and we were lucky to have Grandma Wittke come and watch games and stay over at our house! After our last games on Saturday we all went to lunch with Grandma and the Ovesons. It was a PARTY weekend!

The 5 Messi's

My boys are all obsessed (thanks to Ty's obsession) with Lionel Messi. He plays for FC Barcelona and is honestly amazing to watch. While we were at the Strikers cup this weekend my kids we ran into a jersey booth that had jerseys in all of my boys sizes. It was like Christmas. They are all in heaven! Nick refuses to take his off:) When I took these pic's Ty was playing so he's not in them, but his is the black away jersey:)

50 Mile Ride!

Mike and I are doing the Cache Valley ride in a week so today we did a 50 mile ride. we started here at home and rode out to Western Zirconium, then over through Plain City, up to Farr West, and then back home. We rode through a CRAZY lightning storm, and I was terrified. I told Mike if I died it was all his fault and he could live with that for the rest of his life :) !! The rest of the ride was great until about mile 45. My legs cramped up and I thought I was going to die. Mike said I "bonked". That's what riders call "hitting the wall". I didn't think I was going to make it up Hinckley Dr. I was in tears (yes I was that much of a wimp). BUT I made it! All was well and we finished it 3.5 hours of riding time. PHEW! As nutty as it was I LOVE riding with Mike!

Cousin Adventure #12 More Swimming Fun!

I swear we spent most of the summer in the water, BUT the kids are happy and loving summer so....whatever! Since Lorrin Farr messed up our make up day, Mary and I both ended up with free passes! The kids had been dying to swim there (non lesson swimming that is). SO, we stole Logan and made him a cousin for the day, and went swimming!

The new slides at the pool are awesome, and the kids had a blast. Nuff said! LOL

Jr. High!

We are getting so EXCITED for 7th grade to start! Tyler got his Officer Sweater and he LOVES it (which he should since it cost us an arm and a leg!) and he looks so cute in it!This week was registration and so Tyler had to go and, after he was finished, help other "sevies" find their classes and lockers. He LOVED it! I'm so glad he got that time since it can only help him come the first day of school! I personally love the pic's in the locker :)

Matt The WeBeLoS!

Matt, of course, has his WeBeLoS already! He was finished before his waiting time was up:) That child is more motivated than almost anyone I know! Tonight he "finally" received his award and he was floating on cloud 9 all night! WAY to go Matt!!!
