Celebrating Mark's 29th B-day

Mark and Patty came down Friday night and stayed the night. They brought Ali, Hunter, and Jules. Saturday morning, Mark's B-day we had a great chorizo and egg burrito breakfast with them. They took Abby, left Jules and headed for the garment district in LA. When they got back last night, we had a delicious b-day dinner and Mark got to blow out candles on his requested Texas Sheet cake. A great fun time!!

Soccer Season is upon us!!

So it was the first day of soccer season!!! and a comfortable...108 degrees!!! The girl's coaches were all for forfeiting but the girls wouldn't hear of it so Isabel went on to score the only goal of their game and they won. Olivia played great defense and her team won 2-1!!! The coaches shortened Olivia's game to 5 minute quarters because of the heat.

Well It's finally happened. After sixteen years, I have sadly been released from Young Women! It's shocking. Abby is still in denial she keeps trying to get me to plan things for them and I have to gently remind her that I'm not in Young Women anymore to which she responds, "Yes you are. You haven't been released." My new calling, ironically, is den leader for the Bears. What the heck is a bear?!? I don't know anything about scouts let alone bears!! To add to the hilariousness, Allen is now the cub master, whatever that is. I'm calling on all my friends with boys and/or knowledge of scouting to come to my rescue!! Did you know they give awards to these little scouties every month?!?! I wish the Young Women were recognized that often. Oh well, I'm sure I'll muddle through. The most distressing part of this is, I have to go back to Relief Society. Tragic, I know. Keep me in your prayers. It'll help me survive (RS not scouts).

Fun in the Sun (ok, so it was cloudy).

The Lott family came all the way from Utah to go camping with us!! What a blast!!

Looks like Abby had a great time at EFY!!

We love the first day of School!!

Got to visit with Allen family down in LA. I can't believe it's been a year since the kids have seen each other! It was like they'd never been apart. Fantastic to see them!!
