Soccer

Gavin decided he wanted to play soccer this year. He has played tee ball the last two times because he didn't seem to like playing soccer when we tried it before. But this year he is on a team with a bunch of kids from the neighborhood and he seems to really be enjoying it. He is still one of the first to ask for a rest but he is making progress. Baby steps, right! He actually gets into the group of kids and tries to get the ball this time. Way to go Gavin!

End of Summer

I have been such a slacker at blogging. It usually falls last on my long list of things to do. Here are a few of the things we did during the last few weeks of summer.

We went to the Salt Lake County Fair. We mostly went for the demolition derby but we had time to go on a few rides. Gavin wanted to do all of the big kid rides and he loved them.

This was Addison's first derby and she had a great time. She clapped and pointed at all of the cars. Gavin of course loved it too. His favorite was the truck derby.

They also had a little petting zoo for the kids. Addison loves animals.

We spent a day at the gardens at Thanksgiving Point.

The kids especially loved the water. Addison had no fear, even though there were millions of bigger kids running all around her.

We went swimming one last time at my grandma's pool.

We tried the muscleman suit on Addison because she thinks she is a fish and doesn't need anyone to help her in the water. It worked pretty well.

We went on a spur of the moment camping trip. Gavin had to compete with Addison for their cousin Robbie's attention. I think Gavin might be in trouble soon because Addison is starting to like playing girl things with Robbie.

We also spent a day at the farm at Thanksgiving Point. Addison was traumatized by a cow that we got to close to and it started trying to eat her stroller.

At the end of our visit we got to go on a wagon ride that was pulled by horses.

It sure has been a fun summer!

Like Jenny I have decided to change my blog name so it is not my first and last name. I will also be making it private so if you want to be able to view my blog make sure I have your e-mail address. I am not sure what the new address will be yet, but when I figure out how to do it I will let you know.
