Watch out David Beckham!

Tony is giving soccer a go this year and so far he is really enjoying it. He is definitely more interested in soccer than he was in T-ball last year so maybe we found his sport. He is playing on the USA league on the purple team (he named his team the Purple Pirates) and honestly, I think he is just excited to wear the uniform and get treats but at least he is having fun! Teagan also enjoys wearing the Purple Pirates uniform and watching his big bro play. So, here's to hoping we have the next Pele or David Beckham in the making!

Nothing cuter than kids during and after bath time!

Camping

We were able to spend Friday night camping with our neighbors at Aspen Crest, past Kamas and Francis. We had a great time even though we arrived somewhat late. Tony had plenty of of children to play with and of course the campfire was a good time. Teagan wasn't quite as fond of it, but that probably had more to do with the fact that he couldn't move (you'll understand when you look at the pictures).

So here are a few pics.

"Now is the Time"

Our recent road show was quite the event and Julie Edwards has a great post and some wonderful pictures that you may want to see. The name of our play was "Duty of the Beast" based on the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast but with a Missionary theme. However, the official theme was "Now is the Time" and this statement was reiterated and cheered over and over again.
The reason I bring this up is because I had the pleasure of watching and listening to Barak Obama accept the nomination of the Democratic party for President, and it sent a chill down my spine when I heard him speak. He used the statement "Now is the Time" several times within his speech. I know that living in Utah it is an oddity to like someone outside of the normal Republic party lines, but this man inspires me over and over again.
I have stated before that I don't care to sway anyone in their beliefs and convictions, and this post is not intended to do that. But it is intended to relay my hope to everyone that knows me, that this is a monumental moment for a minority like myself! A man who is eloquent, intelligent, came from middle class beginnings, and happens to be a minority is my hero today. The words that he spoke today (you can find a transcript) stirred my soul and cemented my belief that this is the man that I believe can change the world.

Thank you Mr. Obama,

Marco

My secret boyfriend Bubba

Bubba is the most perfect guy for me except he is about 25 years too young! But I love him still! The road show would not have been the same without his beautiful beaming smile and his amazing voice (he gets from his mother). He knew every single word of the Elder Beast song. I am so proud of him for being such a great performer and wanted to tell him Thank you for the beautiful flowers and for all his help (delivering the flyers to everyone). Love you Bubba!
