C'mon catch up....

Ok, so sorry this post will not have any photos (another day I guess...)!!

Here is a quick update on what has been going on the last little bit with our fam:

Olyvia's soccer team, Zehno's, went to their first tournament in Roy, Utah and took second place!! They were awesome, especially since this was the first time they had played in a game setting as a team!! Our first two games were absolute blow outs!! We beat them like 12-1 and 14-1 or something like that!! Then we ran into a team that was really good (they have played together for over a year and have been playing boys teams!) and they beat us (9-3 maybe??). The fourth team we beat, which put us into the championship game playing the good team again (the are called La Roca :( )!! We played them really hard that second game and they only beat us 5-3. The girls did great!!!

We also went to Island Park and West Yellowstone as a family. We stayed in Mom and Dad's trailer (what an experience to have 7 people crammed into such a small space)!! We took the kids into West Yellowstone and shopped, ate, and went to the Playmill. The kids always enjoy the Playmill, its crazy and funny!! Plus they have the BEST fudge on earth!! We went thru the park and saw almost every animal there was to see!! We got very lucky! We stopped at EVERY freaking mud pot, geyser, stinky place there was....these were Cash's favorites (surprise, surprise....I don't know if he actually liked them or if he just enjoyed that everyone else didn't)!! The kids got to swim in the river there in the Park near Firehole....they had a blast and wished they could stay longer!!

This Friday (the 1st) we just finished up THE CACHE VALLEY CUP soccer tournament that Riley, Jensyn, and Olyvia all competed in!! There was one day where I had to go to 5 games and sit there (I was gone from 9am until 8:30pm)!!! It was sooooo HOT, but it was a blast to watch the kids play!! Let's start with Riley's team, let's just say they played State and State Premier teams who were AMAZINGLY good!! Those poor Fireball got creamed :( ! Jensyn's team did really well, we were excited to see how they were going to do as their coaches just split their team into two teams (U13 and U12). Unfortunately, Jen's coach lost his head and argued with a ref and knocked the red card he was given out of the refs hand...we got disqualified :( !! Olyvia's team is the BOMB!! They are soooo cute!! They did very well, they won their first game (it was a shut out) and then tied the next two (one of which was a super hard team, a Premier team). They ended up taking third place in this tournament. Not too shabby. All in all we had a great time and a good experience, even if it was 100 degrees!!

We are now getting ready for Riley to head to Scout Camp tomorrow morning (thank heavens). We love him, but he is a pain in the butt.....he really loves to tease lately!! Hope he has fun and enjoys that last little bit of summer before we go back to school (Aug 21st...yuck)!

I will get some pictures up soon. Hope all is well with everyone!!
