Logan's Baptism

Logan has been looking forward to his baptism all year.  It was a very special day.  Grandpa and Grandma Gray and Grandpa and Grandma Hatch and many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends and ward members were able to come share his special day.  Grandpa Gray gave a good talk on the Holy Ghost.  It was a fun day for his primary class because 4 kids were baptized.  We are very proud of the choices Logan has made in his life.  He is a very loving compassionate boy.  It is important to him to choose the right.  We love you Logan. 

First Bus Ride

Ashlyn was ready to finally start school.  She has been especially excited to ride the bus.  She looks forward to school everyday.  She even loves her homework.  Its great when kids love school!

Logan's Birthday

Logan wanted a electric guitar for his birthday.  Although he picked it out he was really excited to open it.  We surprised him with some soccer goals.  Logan had school and then we had to hurry to Connor's soccer game so it wasn't the birthday he had dreamed of.  We ate at Chuck-a-rama after Connor's game and Chad took Logan golfing the next day.  Hopefully he had a fun couple of days.  I told him that when you get old birthdays are boring so it was a sign of how grown up he is now.  Happy birthday 8 year old.  We love you.  You are getting too grown up.

Fan Fest

The kids love to go down to Fan Fest at the U.  There are booths representing all the different athletes.  The boys really liked the baseball player dunk booth and the punt return drill.  Ashlyn liked the cheerleaders and drill team and the bounce slide. The kids also got to have their picture taken with Storm the redtail hawk that comes out at the beginning of football games. The biggest hit this year was the old equipment/uniforms.  Who wouldn't want some Utah players old socks?   Connor bought his Halloween costume.  An entire Utah baseball players uniform.  Logan bought a baseball helmet as well but he lost his Utah hat in the process so it wasn't such a great deal after all. We always have a great time at fan fest. 

First Day of Kindergarten (kind of)

Ashlyn got to go visit her classroom and meet her teacher on the first day of school.  She then had to wait another week before really starting.  She has been waiting for this day for a long time.  Logan had Mrs. King so Ashlyn was very excited when she found out she had her too. Our baby has grown up. 

Strikers Soccer Tournament

Connor had his first soccer tournament this week.  He played so hard in the first game but he got a muscle strain.  The next two games he was a little rustier because he was in pain and was trying out some new positions.  They even had him play goalie so he could rest his leg.  He had a couple of good stops.  Today he was back to playing great.  His team came in second place in his division.  It was a great start to comp soccer.

Logan's Birthday Party

Logan had his friend party a couple of weeks early so we could go before school starts.  He decided to have it in Draper at Cowabunga Bay.  We had gone a couple of weeks before and had so much fun that we decided it would be fun to have his party there.  Although there are several water slides, the kids spent most of the time in the lazy river.  I don't blame them because the lazy river is very warm and it was a little windy especially up at the top of the water slides.  The kids all had a good time.  Too bad Logan is the only one with a summer birthday.
