Keeper / Striker Camp

Kaylee went to yet another Keeper camp. 
Only this time, they included Strikers, so she was able to go with 4 of her teammates!

Brandon Gilliam Striker / Keeper Camp - July 2013

Brandon played soccer for BYU and now he is the BYU Assistant Keeper Coach!
We brought Gracie, Haylee, Kaylee, Brinley and Katie.
Haylee is a keeper from another U13 team that carpooled with us.

Striker / Keeper Camp

Sometimes I feel like a paparazzi mom. However, so many people keep asking for me to email them photos....so I guess it's OK

 Just had to post this. Sheesh Kaylee....you have awesome leg muscles!!
Is that what 5 days a week of soccer does??lol

Love all the faces that are made as Keeper :)


Kaylee loved that these were smaller goal boxes...I caught her relaxing for a quick second..

Poor kid has not been able to sleep in all summer. We get up at 6am for soccer practice, most of the time it's 5 days a week.
I keep expecting burn out, but this kid never complains :) She only asks for a back scratch every single night when I tuck her into bed :)

 I played hide and seek with these girls between soccer sessions and told them if they found me, 
I would take them all to the gas station for a candy bar. Yeah, I lost.
They literally wanted to all pile in my car and go. I agreed (reluctantly)  and took all the back roads and drove slow...oh man, they had fun.


Another view of my cramped car. I was able to fit 8 girls in there somehow...

Between soccer camp sessions, they all wanted to come over and chill out for a while...
So, why did they chill in my room? who knows...I didn't ask :)


I love all my soccer girls. Such good girls and lots of fun times :)

I keep on growing....and love it!

Hmmmm....This is why I feel 7 feet fall these days!
Oh how I have learned to grow and cease every opportunity that comes my way...

Kimee's Dance Camp!

Kimee went to dance camp and loved every minute!!
Kimee is on the front row to the right. Next to one of the teachers

Their awesome routine they learned in two days!!


We love our dance friends!


My Garden!

Update on my garden....
Holy Moly!! It's out of control!! But I LOVE IT!!!
Everything is thriving and we are getting tons of stuff from it :)



 Pumpkins!





Utah Invitational Soccer Tournament - July 2013

Kaylee's NEW U13 Soccer Team!!
Her new coach is Sharon Duncan....I am lovin' it already!

These new girls like to be goofy too...Kaylee feels right at home..lol

The girls are warming up for semi-finals...woot!

Kaylee had a ton of really good stops!...including this one.

Kaylee can now throw the ball to mid-field....awesomeness...!!

She's ready!....and she stopped it :) That's my girl!

Her new coach wants Kaylee to take all the goal kicks, which is a new thing for Kaylee...
She's nailed  it!..and she looks pretty good doing it too!

Kaylee and I made a Candy Lei for each of the girls on her team :) It only took 2 hours! lol

Some of our old teammates moved on to Celtic Storm (green). I decided we needed to take a "Reunion Photo"
Gracie, Bre, Kaylee, Maddi, Bre, Paige and Katie

These girls crack me up!
They decided to make a HC Storm / Celtic Storm Christmas Tree
Kaylee was the star and Gracie was the tree skirt!! Oh how I miss all these girls together :(

Kaylee had a fun cheering section at today's game. My Aunt Margie and her husband Dell came to support Kaylee.
Thank You!

These are my 3 bonus daughters :) They are on the HC Storm U14 team, but attended the school I work at. They are now going into 8th grade!!
Everytime I see them, they run up and give me a hug ((love))...
They wanted to watch Kaylee's game...it was fun to have them there! I love em' like my own.

My Soccer daughters!!
Hannah, Maddison, Kaylee and Amber.
It's crazy to think these girls are 14 and Kaylee is only 11....

My Cute Dinner Date!

I had a dinner date with Kimee a couple weeks ago. It's not often I have a night off from soccer games, so I took advantage of a free night.
We went to eat, have ice cream and went to her dance teachers wedding reception.
I got the better end of the deal.....TIME WITH MY KIMEE!!

Quote of the day...


Hmmm. What to do on such a hot day???

Yup, it's HOT outside!

I decided to take my girls and their friends to see "Monsters University' in a nice air-conditioned theater.

Kaylee and her BFF Paige...

Kaylee and Paige trying to scare Rachel and Kimee....


We went shopping afterwards and of course had to stop at 'Claires'.
Kaylee and Paige bought these 'Nerdy' glasses....

Kaylee loved this quote:
"A Good Friend knows all your stories, a best friend has lived them with you".

Such a fun day with these girls..

Quote of the day....


Amen to that!
