Last game

Courtney had her last soccer game of the season! They beat Cedar High and it was a good game. We are super happy that they were able to finish the season. Playoffs begin this weekend and, depending on Covid restrictions, they may take JV with them. So we aren’t quite finished with the season but it’s getting close.

We had to do the traditional Courtney and Sammie picture.

Cute soccer Courtney


The JV team (Courtney is front row, 4th from left):




Their coach, Brent, is the one in this pic. We didn’t get any with him in it.

Good driving!

Courtney drove home from the soccer game last week and parked the car in the garage as usual. It was dark so she didn’t notice anything unique. The next morning when Bryan went out to get in his truck to go to work he saw this...

a squished flat scorpion with tire marks around it! Courtney ran over the scorpion the night before when she parked in the garage. Crazy but I’m glad she had great aim in the dark!!

Bag

Courtney loves all things Nike. She found a Nike bag on sale and just couldn’t pass it up. She “loved” the colors and it wasn’t until she got the bag and it fell next to her cleats that she realized why she loves it so much....

They are the same color!!!!

Soccer quilt

We started this quilt of Courtney’s old soccer jerseys last year but finally finished it!! You can tell how happy Courtney is to have it done.

Up until Jersey #30, the number of the Jersey was Courtney’s age! And a lot of the early ones were when she was coached by Bryan. So it was a fun project.

Man down!!

I was vacuuming the office last Friday when I accidentally vacuumed up Bryan’s earphones. 😳😬

Courtney heard my gasp and the loud banging noise in the vaccine and came running. “Man down!” I hurried and stopped the vacuum then had to unravel the cord from the brush. Courtney and I were laughing so hard.

We hurried and went to Target to buy some replacements. Courtney made a sign (“Man down but reinforcements have arrived”) and we gave the replacements to Bryan. 

Random mission pictures

I post these on Ethan’s mission blog but I thought I would put some on the family one too.

They grow spiders pretty big in Colorado!!

Courtney likes to take pictures when Ethan calls.


Ethan finally got his package and his mountain bike swag!! Looking good!


Pictures from Red Feather. If you zoom the top of the pic you will see Ethan’s commentary.

Christmas came early

Courtney’s chrome book hasn’t been working very well. We decided to have Christmas in September and get her a new computer for college/high school. 

 Even put it in a Christmas bag and made her unwrap it. She is a happy girl now.
