Here we are into another week. Looking back at the calendar it looks like in addition to SOCCER, last week was full of scouts, dentist appointments, and eye dr. appointments. Luckily all of those appointments were for regular check-ups and much to Jaydon and Keiera's disappointment, they don't need glasses!!!! In fact the Dr. said that Keiera's eyes are perfect, which is rare for a 5 year old! She is just sure that they're not though. I'm sure she'll have the privilege of wearing glasses sooner than not.

Today Alex ran in her first Wellsville Mile. (All the Cache County 4th and 5th graders on the South of the Valley get to do this.) She did fantastic! She qualified for the 3rd heat which is the fastest group of girls and she ran it in 9:05. It was extremely hot this morning and she fought through it and ran her best.

Keiera and Jaydon both had soccer games tonight. Jaydon's team tied 1-1 and Keiera's won. Jaydon's team played on the smallest field yet this season and they struggled. They are used to more room and had a hard time not being on top of each other. Skyler is done for the season and Alex has a make-up game tomorrow--she will be missing and a regular scheduled game Thursday. She still possibly has 1-2 make-up games. Jaydon is now done and Keiera has a regular scheduled game Thursday and her last make-up game next Tuesday. I don't know what we'll do with soccer over and school! Oh--I know. We'll start right into swimming lessons!!!!!!

It seems that each week is the same for us--SOCCER, SOCCER, and more SOCCER!!!! Good thing we enjoy it for the most part. Keiera played last Wednesday and everything was going well until the downpour! We were wetter from that 10-15 minutes downpour than we were the previous Saturday in all of the rainy games! It came with a vengence! The poor little kids started crying and looking for parents and hence, the game ended about 15 minutes early. The games following that were just fine! The weather for the rest of the games that week was great.

We also had a pinewood derby last week. Jaydon worked hard on his car--with his dad's help--and the hard work paid off. He won first place! A few of us leaders also brought cars and mine also won :) It was a car I helped make a few years ago when we had a Ward pinewood derby. My car also beat Jaydon's!

Mother's Day was nice--after church that is! Chad and I had to speak! We learned at church that we weren't the first options, several people had said no! We tried to come up with an excuse, but none were to be found. This was Chad's third time speaking on Mother's Day.

I can't think of anything else that might be worth telling so I guess I'll end for another week.

Another week come and gone. Last week I was able to go to BYU's Women's Conference for the 8th year in a row! What a great husband I have. This year we had an even larger group go. We had 13 on Thursday and 16 on Friday! It was an amazing conference as always. I was going to try so hard to come home and be better from the things I learned. However, Saturday morning came with several grumpy kids. They had gone to a late night the night before and now didn't want to wake up for their early soccer games.

We finally made it to the first game, Jaydon's, just before it was to start. Alex stayed home, but Keiera was determined to come with me. It was POURING!!! I kept her pretty dry with the umbrella, but her feet were wet. We left Jaydon before half time in order to get Alex and Keiera to their games. Chad had to work, so I had to coach Keiera's team. Alex wasn't excited about playing in the rain, but I guess she didn't have to because the other team forfeited. I was surprised that 9/10 on Keiera's team showed up. They were all soaked by the end of the game, but had a great time playing hard. This was the first game I have seen of Keiera. All of the kids enjoy soccer! After her game I came home and changed clothes and warmed up for a bit before heading to Skyler's game. The other kids didn't come this time. Skyler wanted to play goalie and did a great job--he was freezing! The second half he played forward and did great. The other team weren't the best of sports and that was sad to see. All of the kids won their games for the day and I had a lot of WET clothes to wash. It was raining even harder and blowing hard during Skyler's game. Keiera looked like she had just gotten out of the shower after her game!

It has been a beautiful, rainy Spring weekend. I love all of the rain because I LOVE how GREEN everything is! ALL of the yards are on equal grounds for a few months :)
