Randomness in our lives

I'm glad I take pictures of things that I might soon forget. We have a full, good life and so many people that are involved. 

I'm grateful for my calling and for the 15-18 year old girls that I get to serve with. What an opportunity. They are mature and sophisticated. They are busy and manage their time well. They are great at communicating and teaching the gospel. I'm truly blessed. 

The above picture is most of our laurels (-4) when we went to Mass. Anita, second from the right is an exchange student from Italy and Catholic. A while back, she suggested we go to another church and we finally did it. It was a remarkable experience that I don't think any of us will soon forget. There are so many similarities between The Church of Jesus Christ and the Catholics, along with the differences. We had a great experience worshiping Jesus Christ with Anita on that Friday evening. 

We also celebrated our new Beehives at New Beginnings a few weeks ago. We are all warrior princesses and we all have powers that are strong and faithful. It was a fun evening with these young ladies and with the awesome women I serve with.

On occasion (cough, cough) Wiley and I snuggle and I just love it. That's all.

Indoor soccer finally came to a close. Triston's team took first place and Alex's team took second. One game, Ethan got to play on Triston's team because of a forfeit. Once again, so much fun to see my three boys on the field all playing soccer together. 

Alex's soccer team decided to get together and go to the opening game of the Rapids season. We didn't realize that it would be snowmageddon #3! It was officially the coldest MLS game in history. When the game started, it was 18*. Good thing we went prepared in our ski gear. I was so cold I wore it all the way home. But, it was a great game. 3-3 again the Timbers, a major rival. We tied it up in the last few overage minutes. We are crazy and we love soccer and we had a lot of fun!

This girl had high school registration! She's going to high school people. 

High School! 9th Grade! Freshman!

I barely held back a full blown melt down, but can proudly say I didn't embarrass her. She plans on working hard in SOAR, playing the violin, joining art club and swim team. Excited to see where high school takes her.   

Colorado History night at PHE. 

Wild Bill Hickok, Chin Lin Sou, Chipeta and Sitting Bull. Love them all.  They worked hard and had a great night sharing their knowledge with everyone's families. 

This kid is about five hours away from becoming a full blown soccer referee, and making some money. He's so excited to wear this uniform and work. Can't wait to watch the adventure. Hope parents are nice to him. 

Meet NATE. My regular lunch date! The N of NATE is moving to Grand Jct. this month so my date will eventually just be with ATE. Amy, Tiffany, Natalee and Erin are amazing women, mothers, workers and friends. I'm grateful to know them and to love them. We will miss the Gibson's as they begin a new adventure and wish them the very best. 

These two...nuf said. 

'Mustache' you if you can still have fun at school? The answer is yes. Look how cute everyone looks in their mustaches!!!

And Ethan is having fun at middle school messing up his favorite teachers classrooms. Of course, he has a teacher supervising the mess. He just gets to enjoy the mess making and making of middle school memories. 

This past Saturday was the first day of Ethan and Triston's competitive season. The whole week before was cold and wet...Saturday was spring...today we have a major snow storm.  These boys were lucky to be able to play and Travis and I were lucky to be able to watch them play. They are both 1-0 heading into week two. They work so hard every week to be their very best. I love their commitment to being a good soccer player, a great teammate and good people. Alex starts his season this next week. Here we go! Bring on Spring!
