Busy Bees

Savannah had her first soccer tournament this week. They did okay and even won a game, but we didn't make it to the finals. I am actually okay with that since it meant I didn't have to drive into Salt Lake again today. For most of the girls this was their very first tournament and they didn't know quite what to expect, but they played well and will now be more prepared for next weeks tournament. Savannah played Goal Keeper the majority of the time, but did get in a couple of quarters as half . She doesn't particularly enjoy being in the goal, but she is very good at it. She has no fear of the ball coming at her or even of being kicked. Of course if her parents tickle her to hard she gets very upset, but you could kick her in the face and she is fine. Explain that to me!

Bill and Nena arrived on Tuesday and will be staying for a little while at least. Martha may have found them a place in Clearfield that will work nicely for them, but they are still thinking about it. I am glad that they are here and that we are able to spend some time together. Dallas hadn't seen Bill since Grandma Brooks' funeral four years ago, and he had never met Nena, so it has been nice for them to hang out. The kids are so cute, and DJ loves having more cousins his age to play with. They all play until they just collapse from exhaustion. Kylie fell asleep at the dinner table one night and on the ottoman last night. It has been really nice for me because both Kylie and Jonathan are potty trained, so DJ has been much better about going on the potty. Hopefully by the end of the summer we will be able to call it a done deal!

Well, we are off to mow the lawn and clean the house today. We may even put up the pools for the kiddos. We shall see. TTFN.
