August and September

Needless to say, I took a little break from my blog. I have been super busy this Fall season.

Courtney and Katie both made Cottonwood's soccer team. They had an amazing year. Their coach said it was one of the best teams he has ever coached. They won 9 games, lost 2 and tied 1. They ended up 2nd in their region, but lost to Layton in the first playoff game.

It was so great to watch them play on the same team this year. They both made Varsity. Here is one of Katie's amazing goals.



Tyler and Erin are still "going out", luckily she hasn't come to her senses yet. She got about 10 inches cut off her hair, so I made them pose for a picture.

Tyler finally got a job. He is working in the pizza kitchen at Desert Star Theater, and he absolutely loves it. A couple of weeks ago he purchased his first car. He was so excited when the title came in the mail with his name on it.

Katie finally got her braces off! Miracle of all miracles.

What a cutie!

James had to have surgery on his shoulder. He hurt it during a football camp this summer, and then hurt it worse in the second game of the season. Hopefully it will be healed by next year, that is if he doesn't fall down any more stairs! lol

Courtney is taking sign languarge and one of her favorite pastimes is drawing hands. In case you can't read hand drawn sign language, this says, "Courtney loves James".

As for me, I decided to go on the HCG diet and I lost 15 pounds! It was hard, but well worth it.

Hopefully things will slow down a little now that soccer season is over. Not that soccer season is ever over, they start practicing next week for the Turkey Shoot in Vegas :)

I was missing your blog. And, good grief, you didn't even need to lose 15lbs! KT looks so grown up without her braces! This is a fun time of life isn't it?

We really missed your blogs and glad to see this one.
Can't believe you had even one extra pound. You always look fantastic. How does the diet work?
Katie looks even more beautiful without her braces.

So glad I checked your blog. It was terrific watching the girls play this year. Not only did they play well, but the team actually seemed to like each other. I agree with Gwen -- you always look great, and yes, Katie looks beautiful without her glasses. Let's hope Erin doesn't come to her senses. We so enjoy visiting with James and Erin. BTW - life doesn't slow down.

cont. Is Courtney learning sign language so she can talk to me? Of course, I will have to learn first.

Braces not glasses. I really needed my mini vacation.
