I always feel a little bad when I realize my youngest kids haven’t been experiencing some of the things my older kids did when they were that age. For instance, t-ball. It is one of those things that isn’t really a priority any more with our crazy, busy schedule. However, I succumbed to the “mommy …

American Fork Half Marathon 2013
June has come and with that brings the annual American Fork Half Marathon. I ran it last year and fell in love with everything about it…the purpose, the heartfelt messages along the trail, the organization and how well it was run, everything! For that reason, I decided then that I would give it another go …
Playin’ a little soccer!
This year we decided to sign both Ellie and Drew up for a soccer team with all their little buddies (ages 3-5). Four of the eight players were three years old so it was interesting to say the least. Ben, a good friend of ours, generously offered to be the coach of these little rascals …
Plymouth FC
Megan has been playing D1 soccer for Plymouth Football Club over the past year. Her coach, Adam Lockyer, has turned my dear daughter into a soccer fanatic. He has been a fantastic coach and she has excelled so much under his instruction. It is so fun to watch her and her team play. Unfortunately, the …
Basketball has come and gone.
The three older kids have been busy playing lots of basketball over the past few months. Jake started back in October on a competition team so he has been playing for months and months. Megan and Katelyn both played Junior Jazz from January to March. The girls love playing basketball and they improve so much …
Target Practice
A couple weeks ago Grandpa Mike invited us to go out shooting in the west desert. It seems like we haven’t been able to go the last few times, but mainly because our invites have been something like this: I’m going shooting. I’m already in Lehi. Love to have you come along. Can you join me …
Daddy Daughter Skate Date
A couple weeks ago Katelyn and Megan got to take their dear old dad ice skating. It was arranged through their Activity Days program as the big annual activity, and they were both very excited when the day finally came. We got to go up to the Murray ice rink and skate for a couple …
2012 Fall Tour de St. George
I’ve ridden a century (100 mile bike ride) every year since I started cycling. Last year, I did the Watchman 100 in the Fall and loved riding down in St. George. I briefly considered doing the same ride, but opted instead to do the Tour de St. George. We’ve become good friends with the Denney …
Soccer is in Season
There is no other way to put it! Soccer was in full season around our house. We have several games every week. This year Drew, Megan and Jake are all playing. For the month of September and part of October we had at least three, sometimes more games a week. This year was Drew’s first …
Summer Swimming
At the start of the summer I signed up Claire, Drew and Ellie for swim lessons with a friend of mine, Teri Jolley. She is an amazing instructor and my kids have really progressed. Claire is already a decent swimmer. She mostly worked on her strokes and some survival techniques (treading, dead man float, etc.). …
