We are just plain Soccer (football) Crazy in this house!

Can I just take a moment and brag on these two guys in my life? Talk about amazing soccer players! Just to give you an idea, Chris scored 4 of the goals in his last game and it was a thrill to watch! Elias has now been put into a comp league at the request of his coach because of how good he is and his team just took second in their tournament. I love being a soccer mom/wife! It's a ton of fun to see my husband and my son be active and have healthy hobbies. They went to the Energy Solutions Center today to watch the US in the world cup on the big HD screens. Pretty awesome~

Little Aurora graduates Kindergarten!

It has been a great Kindergarten year for Aurora, partly due to her wonderful teacher, who just so happens to be sisters to an old and very adored mission companion of mine. We loved getting to know Mrs Nay! 

What we have been up to lately - Random!

Lots of Selfies~

Fun to have friends in town

Not much better than having dinner dates with my two bests!

Volunteering for zoo day in Aurora's class. Great group of kids and lots of fun,  minus the hale storm! 

Foster Daughters~

Valeri is our newest foster daughter. She was originally supposed to come live with us, but we had not done all of our training so  she was placed with another family. It was upsetting to me because I had felt good about having her ( we had talked on the phone and gotten to know each other a bit ) but her last placement didn't work out so we took her and have enjoyed getting to know her better. 

Gisele has been with us since November and she is a joy to have around. She is from Rwanda and has improved her English by leaps and bounds these last few months. She loves to sing and dance and is so good with the kids. It has been very rewarding to do foster care for these beautiful girls. They have taught me so much! 

Turning 11!!

This girl woke up sick on her birthday but had such a good attitude and happy countenance.  She was all dressed up for her school talent show (with inhaler in hand) I hate that she was sick but she said it was still a great birthday. 

All dressed up to see Les Mis at Hale Center Theater. It was fabulous!! 

It was fun to take our best friends- (missing Devon)
