We had a very busy Saturday today! We woke up, hurried and ate breakfast and ran off to the first event of the day: Carter's soccer game!!! It was a very fun game to watch! His team is learning how to play well together and pass to each other! They made some really good play's and Carter even scored a goal today!!!! He also was a very good defender and saved at least 4 goals from being scored on their team!!! Go Carter!!! It's so fun to see him try so hard and play well with a team!! His team is named "the snakes" (picked by the boys of course). It was pretty windy today and we were all bundled in blankets on the sideline! You can see that Carter is the tallest boy by a couple of inches! The last picture is of daddy and Ellie snuggling on the sidelines...cute....
We then rushed off to the stake center so Matt could play in the stake basketball championship with our ward! It was fun to watch, but they had a disappointing defeat. (We won't talk about the ending score or Matt gets a little touchy.... :) )
Next, Carter and Matt headed off to a fun birthday party at "The Jungle Quest". They had a great time on the climbing wall, zip lines, and other fun things. McKelle and I had some "girl time" and went out to lunch and then to the store.
Now we can relax and enjoy the gray, rainy skies from inside our warm house! The skies are so beautiful here - even when it rains! We have such a great view from our house! I feel so greatful for all of the blessings that have been given to my family. I am greatful for the divine guidance that brought us here to Parker, Colorado! It has been so wonderful for our family to have this experience! We miss our families so much, but we have grown stronger as a family in the process. We have already made such wonderful friends, and look forward to making many more. We are greatful for the church out here in the "mission field" - what a fun experience it is to see things from a different perspective!! Hope all is well with those we love!!!
