2 soccer games, a baptism and a brunch!

Saturday, Sept. 20th, 2008:

Ashlyn's baptism was at 11 AM, so we squeezed in Corey's 7:30 AM and Ashlyn's 8:45 AM soccer games before! It was fun to have my Mom & Dad see them play, but it was a HOT one.  I'm sure they still wonder why we live here! The kids played great, then we rushed home to get showered and dressed for the baptism.....whew!

Dan's coaching Corey's team again this year! It's fun to have a few return players so we get to know the parents and kids better. Corey enjoys playing, but isn't really competitive. 

Dan & I laugh that we teach our kids to be polite, but on the soccer field, we'd love them to be aggressive and really go for it!

 I'm excited that this year Ashlyn's team gets to play on a bigger field with goalies.  Ashlyn LOVES when she gets to be goalie.  This game she stopped 4 goal attempts and no one scored on her.  Her team rocks! We love the coaches and have 8 girls returning from last season.

ASHLYN'S BAPTISM:

 

Ashlyn was baptized by her Dad as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! She was so excited for that ordinance and has been looking forward to this special day. As parents, Dan & I couldn't be more proud of her. I think she smiled all day long!

We had a brunch after the baptism at The Gilbert House restaurant. Ashlyn ordered French toast with strawberries. It was so nice to have family there to support us! 

What a memorable day!
