Ute Soccer Madness

This is my baby sister, Erin. She is the star forward for the University of Utah Utes, and she is a total rock star. (Photo courtesy of The Daily Chronicle which did a piece on Erin, click here .) (Photo courtesy of PAC-12 announcement, here ) And I'm not joking. Even the PAC-12 and Soccer America think so. She has been named PAC-12 Women's Soccer Player of the Week TWICE this season (click here  and here ). She was also named to the Soccer America Women's Team of the Week in early October (click here ). The major advantage of the Utes joining the PAC-12 this year meant we could see more games.

Brynn's Princess Party

I LOVE making my kids happy!  I wanted to make the party pretty simple...she's only three after all! We invited just three friends and her BFF cousin, Rylan, who filled the role as "prince" perfectly. It was the perfect amount of kids and it was fun to have their moms (and sister) stick around to visit and enjoy too!  Thanks ladies! Brynn got a new Belle dress from Chris and I the morning of her birthday! She wore it the ENTIRE day! She loved getting her...
