Rugby Is Crazy!

Yesterday my Mom, Marilyn, and I got up early to watch Sean's first rugby games of the season but it was kind of a bust.  Copper Hills forfeited the first game so we didn't get to see him play and then the games got so far behind that we had to leave before Bountiful could play Davis.  But Sean was really happy that we were there and we did get to see a few other games, including the team from Hunter who beat Herriman, so I know a little bit more about rugby.  It is really fast and physical and it is a lot of fun to watch.  I look forward to the rest of the season (and actually seeing Sean play).

Note:  Several of the teams have girls and they are tough.  One girl got hit really hard and fell to the ground for a few minutes and then got right back up and tackled a player.  In football there would have been a 5 minute timeout!

Rugby!

This summer, instead of playing baseball, Sean has decided to play rugby!  He has been going to practices for the past few weeks and the season officially starts next Saturday.  I can hardly wait to watch him play because I've heard a rumor that he is fast!

I guess I better learn a little bit about rugby!

Throwback Thursday: Utah Lake

In May of 2010 my family went for a camping weekend to Utah Lake State Park.  It is one of my favorite camping trips to date!

Sean posing by the lake (I can't believe how little he is!).

Tashena posing by the lake (she used to like posing for me!).

Hanging around the campsite!

S'mores!

Kayaking on the lake.  I have loved every minute that I have spent camping with my family!  It is so much fun to look back at these pictures when Sean and Tashena were so young!  I hope they have happy memories of camping!

Throwback Thursday: Yellowstone with Sean and Tashena

Over Labor Day weekend in 2010, my family went on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park.  It is one of my very favorite trips because I got to spend so much time with Sean and Tashena.  Marilyn and I stayed at a cabin at the KOA near the park while Kristine, Trent, and the kids had their camper at a site near us.  The kids spent a lot of time hanging out at the cabin with us and we loved it!

The weather was perfect and it was so much fun seeing all of the different geysers and pools.  We would get up really early to be out and about when the animals were most active.  Here are some of the pictures from around the park.
