Kevin at the soccer game

David Archileta in concert

A week ago we had the oppurtunity to go to SLC and watch a professional soccer game. Since the boys had just finished a great soccer season here in town (and we got discount tickets) we thought it would be good to see the Real Salt Lake team play. The boys had a great time watching and we enjoyed the added bonus as David Archileta sang the national anthem and gave a mini concert after the game. We were blessed with great weather during the game, but as we headed home that night, we drove through one of the worst thunder storms I've seen. Rain so hard you could barely see the road. Lightning like crazy.

So I wonder, when is this summer suppose to start, anyway? We have had rain almost everyday last week, and the temps have only been in the mid 70's! I should be grateful because I know we need the rain, but really, when the 6:00 news top stories are problems with flooding and mushroom infestations in yards, you can't help but think Noah is somewhere building his ark! (BTW; can anyone help me get rid of snails and slugs in the garden?)

Skyler has just joined the Box Elder Swim Team (B.E.S.T) He gets up at 6am and goes to practice every morning from 6:30- 8am! I don't mind taking him as he has a lot of motivation and is a great swimmer! Kevin and Caleb aren't ready for the swim team, but they are also great swimmers. They are content with tennis lessons everyday for 2 weeks.
