First BBQ of the season

This last weekend we decided to order the UFC fight. Since the weather was so nice we also BBQ'd some of the beef we bought a month ago. WOW this was some good meat. The weather was so nice we even got to use the deck for the first time this year. We used to use the deck quite a bit when the first year we got it built. We will have to use it a lot more this summer. The boys even put up the soccer goal they got for christmas and were shooting on it for a while. This was such a fun weekend and am so ready for Spring Summer.

Soccer season

Soccer season has officially started. For the Spring season, we are playing Competition Soccer. This is in preparation of going into State soccer in the Fall. Monday was our first game and we had to go to Lehi. The first half was a little scary and we all thought "Oh Boy! This is not a good way to start." At the half we were tied 2 to 2. The second half it was as if the boys had waken up and we ended up winning 5 to 2. I am pretty excited for this season. If the rest of the season was like Monday, it will be an awesome season. We are finally getting some even matched competition. Saturdays game is at Noon in Sandy. I hope the weather is nice. GO RUSH!!!!

Easter 2009

Last Saturday we packed up the kids and went to the Marble Family Easter picnic. We went up early enough to go hide easter eggs with dad but when we got up on the hill most everyone was already there, half an hour early. After saying the pledge of Allegiance and Born Free in America, a Marble tradition at any gathering, we roasted hot dogs and sat around to talk. When all were done and playing, Dad, Eric, Nate and I went about hiding tons of easter eggs in the sagebrush. It is fun to see the next generation of kids get so excited to find them. I can remember when we were all that small and we would roll eggs down the hill behind what is now Dad's house. Then it was time for the scavenger hunt for the older kids. We all got in 3 different vehicles to see who got done first. Casey and I were in the last vehicle and Breton decided he had to stop at the gate to delay everyone, really it was to do his crossword puzzle for their first clue. After about 5 or 6 stops we finally found out goodies and went back up on the hill. We were the last ones there, thanks to someone "accidentally" taking one of our clues. I have not lived in that area for over 15 years but I was able to figure out what the 3 clue was. The boys had a lot of fun and I hope we can continue this fun tradition for a very long time.

Boise Pictures

Here are some pictures from our trip to Boise.

This one is a picture of a bird statue at a stop light. I thought the statue was kind of cool.

This was a gas station. I thought the name Stinker was kind of funny. It even had a picture of a skunk as part of the logo.

This was an actual Mattress stores name.

This is this years team with a few exceptions.
