Miracle!

We were 5th place, out of 5 teams, going into our final regular season game, where we barely made the playoffs by beating the number 4 team by one goal.

So, last night (in the playoffs) we had to play the number 1 seed in the semifinals, and then the number 2 team for the championship. We won our games 5-2 and 4-1 and are the new Bronze B (read: lowest level of recreational inline hockey) champions!



And yes, this is the blogworthy event that broke my blog silence after 3 months.

Halloween

Teri made Max's, and Cassidy made her own. Like, sewed it.

Utah Trip

First of all... I don't know why I have such a hard time with this blogspot program. This thing drives me crazy. So, I'm just gonna skip the captions with properly ordered individual pictures, until someone can show me how to do it in less than 3 hrs... I'll just post my photos and you can guess what's going on.

This weekend we went to Utah to take care of some business. Business of helping our kids understand where they're gonna go to college. After about 15 minutes of walking around campus, seeing the foodcourt, candy shops, bookstore, student center and many college girls, Max said "this isn't college, this is heaven". So, our work there was finished.

So then we went to SLC to visit temple square and see the Joseph Smith movie. Another great experience. Both our kids wanna get married in that temple. the movie was awesome. Between BYU and temple square, it was a GREAT day.

Then we went up to Logan to hang out with Lisa and Jeremy and Ben and Rio. We had an amazing time going to a haunted farm, playing in the park, visiting the farmers market and Logan Canyon, and even got to see Where the Wild Things Are.

What a trip!

Labor Day Golfing

What a great day celebrating labor. We learned a lesson from the last 3 day weekend and decided not to even attempt to drive with 90% of other Coloradans to the mountains. Instead... we made a nice, big breakfast, went mini-golfing, hot the batting cages, chomped some taco bell, and went to see "Up" at the dollar movies. What a great day...

Lost Creek, Colorado

One final Ogden getaway before school starts this Thurs. We went camping at Goose Creek campground, next to the Lost Creek Wilderness, this weekend. We did a 10+ mi dayhike into the wilderness, fished Goose Creek by our campground, taught the family how to shoot the shotgun (before our right to arms is stripped away), and ate. And ate.

Trust me... the pics don't do the place justice.
