Soccer against Desert Hills

Snow Canyon also doesn't like Desert Hills.  Rumor has it that Desert Hills is already fundraising for their expenses to go to the championship game for state soccer.  So our team is ready to take them down.  It was a tough game.  Varsity won in overtime and it was a nail-biter.  But it was fun watching the girls play!




Courtney came home with some war wounds.  She played hard!

Hike the Y

Ethan went with some of his friends and hiked to the Y.  He took some really nice pictures while he was up there and shared them with us.  He also found a tarantula and tried to pick it up.  He said the girls were freaking out so he thought he would pick the spider up to see what would happen.  Crazy kid!





I tried to screen shot the video of the tarantula.  This is what I got.


More tiling

I wanted to get the tiling finished in the laundry room so Bryan and I tackled that.  We had enough left over from the bathroom that I only had to buy a few more tiles.  That was a huge plus.  And they even had the tile in stock so we didn't have to wait for it.  Yeah!  I think it turned out really well and now the flooring is all finished, except in the storage room.

Soccer game against Dixie

Games against Dixie High are always tense.  Snow Canyon and Dixie are major rivals and things can get pretty chippy during their games.  This one was a great game at home.




BYU Freshman Class

I kept telling Ethan that he needed to make sure to get in the BYU freshman class picture.  He assured me that he would and he did it!  He sent me pics of them trying to get into place and then I found the final one on the BYU Instagram.  Ethan is somewhere above the portal in the middle.  

The first 2 pictures are ones Ethan took while they were lining up. The pictures are of the jumbo screen across the field from where they are lining up.  I hope that makes sense.



This is the official Incoming Class of 2022 picture taken at BYU during freshman orientation.  He is in there somewhere!

Leadership Conference

 Ethan attended a Leadership Conference before freshman orientation began.  He was bussed up to Aspen Grove where they had classes on the Gospel, leadership principles, and, basically, had a grown-up EFY.  I wasn't sure if he was going to like it but he had a great time and made some great friends to start his BYU experience!  I'm so glad he was able to go and that he wanted to go.  Here are some pictures he sent us of him and his group.

Soccer game

Soccer season has begun so we are spending a lot of our weeknights on the bench at various soccer fields across the city.  This is our view from the game tonight at home against PineView.  Not too bad.  


This season, Courtney is a starter for JV.



After the game, Bryan went down to talk to Courtney to chat about the game.  If we win, this is a good chat.  If we lose, then the chat doesn't go too well and she is frustrated.  Bryan loves that she wants to chat with him.
