Soccer time...

OK. If you know me you know my two favorite things to do are:

1. Grandkids (and I guess that includes my kids too)
2. Watching Soccer (which I guess includes my kids too).

So its finally soccer season. Just thought you might like to check out the blog I'm doing for the team.

What do you think?

So do you think these two lil guys look alike? I don't know if you can tell from here without seeing them 'in action', but I think they look so much alike. It is Trey (Alyssa's) and Mikey (my cousin Blaine's). I keep telling Lyss that Trey has a ton of Ball in him, but she doesn't believe me. Do you think so?
(Sorry bad pic - I couldn't get him to hold still for a second. Haha!)

Summer!

I love summer, and this has been a good one. I love the 90 degree days. All of them, day after day after day! I love getting in the car when its so hot you can hardly breathe and the leather burns your legs. I love when my sunglasses are so hot I can hardly put them on. I love sitting out in the dead heat of the afternoon, reading or watering or just watching the bugs. I love feeling the sweat drip down my back cus its so blasted hot. I love watching soccer games facing right into the sun. I love laying at the side of the pool baking in the heat. I love sleeping with just the sheets on for cover. I love the long days of sunlight and the warm nights. I love wearing flip flops instead of shoes. For all of you who love Fall, I just had to get in a word or two. I LOVE SUMMER!!

Cora Jane Toyn

Our baby Cora is finally here and she couldn't be more perfect. The pictures don't do her justice. She is such a doll. So very very tiny and petite at 5'12" and 18".
Hadlee is so sweet with her. She very gently holds her and pats her for long periods of time. It is very special. If you're lucky, she'll ask you "You wanna ho-o-o-o-ld her?"
Gamma couldn't be happier! It's hard to imagine life without her now. She doesn't cry - just a squeel that is soft or loud, depending on what she wants. She's worth staying up for a couple days straight with very little sleep. Could you sleep if you had that girl to hold?

Beautiful Cora and her Beautiful Mommie. Caramie did so fantastic. I think her and Matt were in shock that it was over so easily. So far this little girl seems to have more of her mom's features. Those eyes are killer, eh? They're pretty dark - maybe Toyn brown.

Here's a friendship that will never end!

Two wonderful babies plus a fantastic Mom and Dad. Sure do love them more than anything! I love all my girls, their hubbies and their wonderful children. I am the luckiest person on this earth!

Now THAT's a goose egg!

Trey lost this fight with the tramp. Can you believe that goose-egg? It looks like he must have hit the bar from a flying leap, but I think he was just getting ready to get off and slipped and hit the ladder as it bends to hook onto the tramp. OUCH!! This picture is after they iced it for a couple of hours. He was pretty tough about it all, at least at my house for the evening. He doesn't ever have much to say, but he just played and acted like it was no big deal. He's a tough lil rascal!

Sleepover!

Teegun and Trey stayed overnight at Grandma's so their mom could go on a girl's outing to Park City. Boy did we have fun! Thanks to Riley for all her help!

I was trying to show them how have a dinosaur nose, but wait! Riley made me a rhinocerus. The boys wouldn't even consider it. They think Grandma is silly.

After we went to Kung Fu Panda, Grandma made rainbow sherbet frappe's for treats. We each picked ours up and marched to the front door to sit outside and eat them. As soon as we stepped outside, Teeg lost hold of his and it spilled, SPLASH!, right on the front step. So Grandma gave him hers and went and fixed her a new one. She came back out and sat down by them on the step and BAM! Trey's drink fell right to the ground. So Grandma gave him hers and went and made her a new one (again). Finally we all sat down on the steps to eat our frappe'. Just before Grandma finished hers, what do you think happened? SWOOSH! Grandma drops her frappe' and it spills all over her and the ground. Hahaha!

Breakfast on the deck. Teegun DOES like pancakes. Trey only likes sausage. Even Riley got up early to join in on the fun!~ These boys love her!

We spent most of the day at the pool in Brigham. Of course we would have no pictures of that :) They didn't want to leave, even after 4 hours. We did pretty good keeping them sunscreened except guess what - the top of Gunner's feet. Oh ouch! Sorry buddy! Trey, the funny kid - I put his muscle floaties on and turned around to get ready to take him in. But too late! He just went and jumped in. Problem being that we were down by the basketball hoops, way over his head. I don't know what he was thinking, but luckily Riley was right there. It took him about an hour to recover and quit shivering, but after that they just couldn't get enough. Tegunn is a wild man and Trey loves running and jumping. We all had tons-o-fun in the sun!

FUNNY THINGS THEY SAID:

Gunner: Gramma, leave it whole. I am almost six years old and I am big enough to use a knife!

Trey: I played that at my house.

Trey (later): I ate that at my house.

Trey (next day): I watched that show at my house. (evidently, he does EVERYTHING at his house)

The boys were so good. Tegunn was a good big brother and made some 'good choices' to make his brother happy. We all survived and are looking forward to the next time we get to spend the night together!

Riley's new nickname...

Riley's friends have given her a new nickname. Its 'the nutcracker'. Riley plays sweeper in soccer, so often makes powerful kicks to get the ball to the other end of the field. At her co-ed game last week she kicked one of her famous kicks and too bad, the boy she had stole it from was about 3 feet from her and took the force of it - you guessed it - right in his 'manhood'. It was the worst I've ever seen, the poor kid. When he finally tried to get up to walk to the side, he was puking. He made it to the couch (don't ask why there was a couch at a soccer game) but did not look good one bit. He finally got up and played towards the end of the game, but he was not standing normal. He was really suffering. I shouldn't laugh at his pain, but it was dang funny. The rest of the game, the boys pretty much steered clear of her. Just before the whistle blew she stole the ball from a kid and as she went to kick it, he covered himself, turned around, and yelled 'not my nuts'! HeeHeeHee! I don't think she'll live that down for a long time.
