COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD

goes to:

COACH J

What a fun group of girls B had on her soccer team this year and J really had a fun time coaching them!!

The girls spotted Cosmo at the BYU game

The Funky Monkey's, as they went by, got a chance of a lifetime to play during the BYU women's soccer halftime.  They came out ahead during the 20 minute scrimmage and Coach decided to get the girls off the field by running the ball himself.  I think he found that quite exciting!  (B is running next to him on the left side of the picture.)  Thanks Coach.  You done real good.  :-)

YELLOWSTONE 2011 TRIP

Us at the well-named Artist's Point

We took a super fun camping trip in early September before things got too terribly cold in Wyoming.  Of course we paid tribute to Old Faithful and did lots of walking and driving.  In the lower right corner the kids are trying to pick up Uncle T so he could get to something up in the tree.  It was pretty hysterical to watch this attempt and fortunately no one got hurt. :)

Who doesn't love the colors at Yellowstone.  Bright greens and blues, subdued yellows and orange and brilliant white.  I personally love the marbled cheese pic......yummm...

Me & my hunny at the Grand Prismatic 

Hiking to get a great view of Grand Prismatic

Cuteness all around.  

Little A has the cutest little grumpy face & the kids loved having Gpa and Gma with us on this adventure.

We saw lots of wild animals!  Coyote, wolf (from afar), bison (of course), elk (right in our picnic area) and even a mama Grizzly Bear with 3 cubs (also from afar).  It's been my dream to see a bear in the wild and I was delighted to see the grizzlies at a safe distance.  In the lower left corner you see a couple wild animals we picked up and decided they were cute enough to keep.

On the way home we decided to go the long route to see the Tetons
