a visit from the oc, carter's 1st soccer game, & other weekend fun!

this weekend has been so fun. my dad came in for a quick visit (less than 48 hrs) and it also happened to be carter's 1st soccer game (i see many hot saturday's watching sports in the future). when my dad flew in we went to bren's office for a quick adjustment and then to yc's
for dinner. yummy! we rented a flick called cloverfield and wow that was the biggest WASTE of time! my dad only made it for like 20 mins, but me and bren watched the whole thing hoping it would get better. didn't happen. anyway, sat morn we were at the soccer fields bright and early for carter's very 1st soccer game! i was SO into it. hootin and hollerin and trying to get them to go the goal! it was so fun.

the first 20 or so mins of the game is practicing w/ your own team. and then the last half is playing the other team. this week they played the tigers!


i love this pic! this is guire in perfect form. he is one of the top dogs. he scored several of the goals! way to go guire!


some of the cheerleaders. savvy was so good she either sat in the stroller or on gpa's lap!

it's hard to get carter to look at the cam and smile so this was a treat!

cheering from the sidelines!

they play 3 on 3. this is sam, gunner, and carter. i couldn't believe how cute and smiley carter was the whole time he was just out there running and having a fun time. he even scored 3 goals, 2 for the sharks, and 1 for the tigers! way to help both teams bubba! i was such a proud mom!

savvy and gpa hangin out!

later, we went to the new basha pool and hung out. they have this fun lazy river you float in tubes!


after the pool, bren had to go to work for the derby dames. we meet up w/ the smiths and karen for dinner at cafe rio, it wasn't my fave trip there. the one in provo will always be the best.

today, we went to our ward and it was a nice sunday. the kids did their primary program and i always get so teary. it's just so cute to see these youngsters singing and it's fun to think that will be carter up there next year!

those soccer pics are SO cute. carter looks so mini! fun times with your dad. i was confused by how short your hair looked in that pic at the game and then i saw that nope - still long. and speaking of long...savanna's hair is freakin Rapunzel.

You guys are so cute. I wasn't sure if you would go back to your last post or not but I had put another comment in it. I wanted to invite you to come to our gym for a 10 day trial period. I think you would love it. Sally trains us there as well as Jason, who is the owner. It is a blast and all of us have made some amazing changes to our bodies.

ANNNNDDDD..... the kids club would be free as well for the 10 trial period. (Well, kids club is free all the time)

Think about it and let me know.

So many fun pictures. That one soccer kid looks like a pro! Love the smiling pic of Carter. So cute.
And wow, blondie! You got your hair done again? Fun. (and yea, I thought it was short in the game pic at first too :) )
Cute that your dad came for the weekend. That pool looks SO great. Fun times!
(and thanks for your input on the sewing tags. Probably not a big deal. But I think I kinda side with your opinion. Or maybe I'm just undecided. :) )
bye!
