Park City Soccer Tournament

Ben's comp soccer team participated in a tournament up in Park City yesterday and Thursday.

I love watching soccer games! :) It makes me happy, frusterated and gives me a bit of an adrenaline kick as I watch my son out on the field.

Their first 2 games were not impressive at all :( They did win one of them but they certainly didn't play their best and their coach let them know!

Last nights game was awesome :) Neither team scored and we

didn't end up in the finals today but they played with heart and purpose.

The fall season is right around the corner. Yeah!!

I love the sports mode on my camara. It puts it in continual shoot mode and you get some great shots you wouldn't otherwise.

Below is a play by play of Ben and a player from the other team fighting for the ball....

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Date With A Beautiful Window

Monday DJ and I decided to go on a date since the kids had plans for the night.

We took the ATV's up to Hardware Ranch. It's so beautiful up there! You drive through Hyrum then up Blacksmith Fork Canyon to get there. It's worth the drive as you can ride for hours up there alternating between wide open spaces and pretty aspen/evergreen forests.

We put on 40 miles and enjoyed every minute! :)

There's such a sense of freedom and relaxation as you cruise along taking in the scenery around you. In my mind I pictured a beautiful old window behind me and all the days stresses and cares floating off my shoulders and through the window! :) Beautiful indeed.

At one point we were riding side by side and I was thinking how connected I felt to DJ even though we weren't talking. I was beginning to write this blog post in my mind about my wonderful evening with my husband......the moment was ruined by a chunk of testosterone (sp? ) when DJ sped off leaving dust on my face!
Needless to say the blog post started taking a different turn in my mind! Ha Ha :)
In all actuality I would've done the same thing....I get a little competitive when I'm driving :) I guess that why I loved driving in Sicily & I love NASCAR! )

We saw alot of wildlife as we were out later in the evening. Antelope, bunnies, lots of deer and the highlight of the night was the young moose that ran across the trail about 20 feet in front of me. He was gorgeous! Dark, chocolatey brown with his awesome antlers.

We ended the night back at the trailer with the stars just coming out. We sat on the trailer and ate peanut butter and jam sandwiches!

I'll take another date like that anytime!

Beautiful indeed :)

This is where the journey begins

About 20 antelope ran across the road in front of us

What a sweet little guy :)

Glad to call Utah home :)

Isn't he handsome!

Wide Open

There's a couple of calves amongst the brush

Momma came from the other side of the rode to make sure we weren't hurting her babies

So peaceful!

First star of the night - we sat on the trailer & ate pb&j sandwiches while looking at the stars and talking :)
