This last Saturday marked the end of the 2014 Spring Soccer Season. The boys did great and we all had a fun time. We also decided that 3-4 year old soccer games are the most entertaining to watch. :) Here are a few pictures from our last game.
Xavier with is team, the Green Dragons. Go Dragons!
Handsome Xavier
Xavier in action! He turned into a great soccer player, with 3 goals (2 for us and 1 for the other team), lots of assists, and great field running to his credit this season. He really loved soccer. We'll have to sign him up again for sure.

Action shots of Loyd! He was an amazing goalie and defender. He saved the ball from going into his goal at least 5 times in his last game. He learned how to follow the ball, stay focused during the game, and have fun with his teammates. Of course, the last was the most natural for our social Mr. Loyd. :)

When we all have fun we are all winners. Yea for soccer fun!
Dustin and I took Loyd, Xavier, and Maeve to see one of their favorite bands, AJR, in concert in Salt Lake. We went to see the AJR: Somewhere in the Sky concert! It was so GREAT! We had a fun listening to all the opening bands and hanging out people watching. Maeve ditched us to sit with her friend as soon as she found out she was there too. Maeve screamed and cheered so much she was horse for the next day. :D It was a lot of fun. We definitely would do it again. :D
It's the Christmas season and we did a few things to celebrate the Christmas cheer this year. Diana and I and her friend Everett and his fun mom got a personal tour of the Ogden Christmas Village by none other than Mrs Clause herself! We even got a train ride too! I think it was the highlight of the season for Diana. Then we took the entire family to Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the spectacular lights throughout the gardens. As always, it was awe-inspiring! We attended the annual Phillips Family Christmas Party. Santa made an appearance and handed out gifts to all of the kids. Diana was terrified of him and quickly hid behind my chair when the jolly old elf came into the room. But, she quickly found her inner bravery and ran up to his lap when he produced a prettily wrapped present and called Diana's name. She was not going to miss out on her very own gift. It was so funny and so cute! Wishing a Merry Christma...
Loyd closed out his High School experience as #4 in his class ranking! Go Loyd! I couldn't be more proud of him! He has worked so hard the past 4 years. He's held down a demanding parttime job at Ridley's Grocery store, taken on challenging college and AP classes, attending the DTC to learn more about architecture and engineering, taken time to build lasting memories with his siblings, and been the best friend ever. And he's become a spiritual powerhouse at the same time, taking time to attend Seminary, study his scriptures and his Patriarchal Blessing daily, and never forgets to open his heart up in prayer to Heavenly Father. This guy is amazing! He was asked to honor an important teacher to him at the first ever Morgan High School Honors Banquet. The spirit of gratitude and love that was there was the best feeling. I'm so proud of Loyd and his recognition of Mrs. Heidi Miller for her love and efforts to help grow these students int...
