It has been over a week since I have been on the computer let alone able to update our blog. Things have been crazy, busy for us. Ally started pre-school.
A few girls from our ward and I are doing a little 'Joy School' type pre-school. We each take a week teaching the kids. Ally really enjoys it (I know this because every day she asks me if she is going to school).


Andrew is still loving soccer.
In his game Tuesday night he scored a goal and had two assists, all of this in the pouring rain. The boys had fun and loved the rain while all the parents froze hoping the game would be canceled. I now consider myself an official soccer Mom, I survived my first bad weather game. We were really lucky last year and had no games with rain. I was so glad I am not coaching this year.


Last Thursday through Sunday Jim and I got to take a trip (thanks to my wonderful parents who were willing to cancel a camping trip to watch our kids for us) to sunny Seattle. Yes, I said sunny. The weather was beautiful. We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island for lunch and walked around the shops. We went shopping and then enjoyed a Mariners/Yankees game, which was a great game, not only because the Mariners won (being Red Sox fans at our house, we cheer for any team that plays the Yankees) but the Mariners pitcher was a rookie and had a no hitter going through the 7th inning. Unfortunately that ended, but it was a fun game.




Then Saturday we did what we went up there to do, went to the BYU/Washington game. What a game! No, we did not like the way it ended, but were very glad BYU won.











All in all, it was a fabulous trip. We missed the kids, but it was very nice to get away just the two of us and recharge our batteries. Especially since Jim is going to be away quite a bit over the next few weeks.
