And They're Off...

So that's what they say at the races. How about the start of a very busy soccer season? This weekend Garrett had his first soccer tournament for BUSC. They finished the tournament with 2 wins, 1 tie and 1 loss and ended up with a trophy for 3rd. And if you did the math correctly you'd see that was 4 games. Yes, 4 games at 3 different fields in San Jose over the course of 2 days. That's a whole lot of soccer. And Jack attended 3 of them and did fabulous (even in the midst of major teething). Garrett has tournaments the next 3 weekends as well. Can you say bye-bye relaxing weekends?

Jenifer's Visit

Aunt Jenifer came for a visit last week. She picked a REALLY hot week to enjoy some time here. It was 108 degrees a couple days in a row. But one place to beat the heat is in San Francisco so we took a little day trip there. We walked around Pier 39. Garrett found a digital camera so we performed a good deed and turned it into security. We got taffy from a store at the end of the pier. Then we headed over to Boudin's for some lunch. This was just recently remodeled and they had a viewing area of how the bread is made. By the way, it was agreed by all that Morgan's grilled cheese sandwich is something was all wished we had ordered~yum, yum. After lunch we decided to do a very touristy bay cruise. It was so nice. The weather couldn't be beat. Got a little windy as we head toward the Golden Gate Bridge, but what a sight! We passed right under in then turned around and headed toward Alcatraz. Can't believe we've lived up here 9 years and we just got around to doing this.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

Nope. It's me and Morgan.

Found My Camera

I looked in my diaper bag two times. Took everything out. But guess where I found my camera? Well all I can say is a big PHEWWWWW!!! I'll share more later, but here's a peek at the pictures that were missing (bottom 2).

And I did get my new super fancy camera. And so far I'll let you be the judge (top 2 pictures!).

Monkey Boy!

Accolades

Morgan and I attended her awards banquet on Sunday night and she came home with a special award. There are probably about 20 gymnasts in the level 4 group and she received the award for most improved. Her all around score went up four points from the beginning of the season to the end which is huge. We were really proud of the improvements we saw and it was wonderful that her coaches also recognized the achievement.

Only one more week till she gets her cast off. Due to scheduling appointments it turns out it was on a total of 4 weeks. She's really ready to be done with it. She has not been using crutches at all this week. The novelty of those have worn off as well!
