First Soccer Game

We didn't take any photos, because I went on one of my preparatory long runs and met my family at the fields. Sophie cried and wouldn't go in for the first three quarters. (Wait a minute aren't we planning on a Stanford soccer scholarship in 14 years) Finally, after much bribing and encouragement she went in to help her team, the score was somewhere around 0-20. And she SCORED A GOAL!!!!!!!

Post 200 and more beach fun

Quincy has not been a huge fan of the water this whole summer, until this trip. He loved the waves and we couldn't get it through his head that they are big and powerful. We had to totally be on our guard at all times. Sophie on the other side was really timid, but little brtother helped her get more daring.

Side Trips

Hurricane Hanna blew by Saturday afternoon, but with naps, a trip to the local library, and BYU football it still was bliss. The next day we went to Bethany Beach, Delaware, just down the street. And we are so glad we did! Tide pools were formed by the storm and it was toddler heaven. Sand and two feet of warm water meant a lot of Breaking Dawn reading for me.

Even though we had this beautiful condo to stay in we still decided we should camp one night down at Assateague Island, where the wild ponies live.

Too big

Late night fun at the park

2008 trip to Ocean City, Maryland

Matt has a SF agent, Paul, that owns a condo right on the beach. This is the second summer we have been able to enjoy it. Going the weekend after Labor Day was awesome. Warm weather, perfect water, and only senior citizens and families with little children.

Beach and Bed Head

Blogger Anniversary

My first entry was on Sept. 2 2006, my birthday. A couple years older and wiser but still happy to brag about my family on the Internet!

Thanks, Matt for being so thoughtful. An ice cream cake, funny card, Dove chocolate and an ipod shuffle to celebrate with.

A lesson learned...

...never judge a peach by it's tree

The story of our peach tree (one of our two trees)

In June, Sophie was playing outside and came in to ask me if it was fall. Of course not summer just began, then why are the leaves falling off our tree? In July, the little green fruit started to seep sticky stuff from holes all over it, not good. The dead leaves were still falling off, but now as they fell they stuck to the peaches. At this point we discussed cutting the tree down. Luckily we didn't and in August we had peaches! Pretty sad looking, but great for baking.
