Fall Sports

We have all the kids doing something this fall. I almost didn't sign Bensen and Vivian up for soccer, just because I knew how hard it would be to get everyone where they needed to be. But I am glad I did. I love watching them play! They also get dragged around to Jaycee's soccer games and Wesley's football games, so it is good for them to get to play too.

Wes is loving football. He is playing corner on defense and receiver on offence.

Fall always seems so busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Back to School

Back to school! I think most of them were excited for school this year. This is the first year Jaycee didn't shed any tears. I really think soccer has helped her so much. She started back on the 17th. She will do great!

Bensen and Wesley started back on the 23rd.

The bus got to the school late, and I made Wesley walk with me to take Bensen to class. By the time we got over to the other school Wesley was the last one in his class. He was not thrilled with me. But they were both ready and excited for school.

Vivian started on the 30th! She was so excited, she ran to the bus stop. It was a hard week for her waiting for her turn to go. I can hardly believe my baby is in school. She is fierce and she will do great!

 

Twin Falls

We decided to do one last hurrah. We took the trail up to Twin Falls Idaho. We kayaked to Shoshone Falls. It was a fun trip, it took us all day to kayak to the falls. Carrying those 2 men kayaks is no joke! You paddle for a couple of miles, then you carry your kayaks for maybe a 1/8 mile. Which seem like a mile! Then you kayak some more to get to the falls. We had a lot of fun the older kids loved it. Bensen and Vivian were not excited about being on a kayak all day. By the time we got to the falls they were having a pretty good time.

My arms ached all night! Best arm workout ever!

Jaycee starts school this week and has early morning soccer, she is not looking forward to that.

Then the boys start the next week, and Viv will start on the 30th.

 

Northridge Soccer

Jaycee made the Northridge Soccer team! She went to soccer conditioning all summer. It started June 4th. She was pretty nervous going to try outs. She had to leave girls camp to make it to tryouts. She really sacrificed her time, and stepped out of her comfort zone. All of her hard work paid off because she made the team. She is a little sad that she wont be able to play at Highmark this year, she was looking forward to being a captain. 

It has been a hard going from being one of the best and playing the whole game, to only getting to play 15-20 minutes a game. But she continues to improve and do better every day. I am really proud of her.
