My Niece, Isabel, had a soccer tournament in St George this last weekend, so about a month ago my Sister invited me to come along on the ride so she didn't have to drive alone. We made it a girls weekend and had a great time. On the way down we stopped for a potty stop in Cedar City and I had to take a picture of Jason and My Lighthouse. The lighthouse he flew me to and proposed in front of nine years ago!! Minus Isabel being sick for the first two days. As we were driving down she was getting sicker and sicker, by the time we got to St George she was burning up. My sister remembered her brother-in-law happen to be in town for a conference, so she called him to come and give her a blessing. Her first game was the next afternoon and she only played the last 5 minutes, her next game was that night and she played the game and then the last game was Sat. afternoon that she played as well. I would say she is the best player on the team, she wasn't quite herself being sick, but she did awesome. The last game went into a shoot out, which I don't think is fair, but what do ya do. The first five girls from each team made an attempt for a goal and after it was still a tie. So the sixth girl was Isabel, she missed and felt horrible, the sixth girl on the other team made it, so Isabel's team lost. I must say it was very intense, Isabel cried and felt like it was her fault that they lost since she was the sixth shooter. The entire game it rained and they were playing on the artificial turf so it had to be miserable for all of them. She was sick but played anyway and gave it her all, so that is all that matters.
We had the hotel until Monday so we made it a fun rest of the weekend. We went over to the Petersen's Condo for a BBQ. Brylee had a fun time playing with Quincey, the pool was closed by the time we were going to take the kids so Brylee and Quincey and swam in the tub. Isabel's Birthday was on Monday so we took brownies, ice-cream, and hot fudge over for brownie sundaes without Isabel knowing and sang to her that night. The rest of the time, the girls went swimming in the rain, we all did some shopping, and lots of eating. The hotel had a nice breakfast and Brylee's favorite was the Hot Chocolate. We visited some of the church sites: Tabernacle, Temple, etc. We watched some movies ate popcorn & ice cream and had a great time together. We called Jason/Tanner each day and Brylee would talk with them and say, "We still havin' a girls night out!" When we left Tanner was pretty sad, he is a Mama's boy so didn't want us to leave him home. I told him he will have fun and told Jason they better do something fun. They went out to dinner with Grandma/pa Ray one night, spent time with Marci & Alex and Alex made his famous Spagetti for them, Tanner got to go to church with Grandma/pa Bowen, Chandler and Dylan. Monday Jason was off so he took him swimming at the Clearfield Aquatic Center and they stopped by and got some Krispee Creams on the way home that we got to enjoy too. I asked Tanner "What his favorite thing when we were gone?" He said "When we got home and I saw you were home and saw you!" He sure knows what to say to his Mom. One day while getting a slow start going we watched the movie Ramona and Bezus, but today Brylee said to me "Mom 'Guts' is a Bad word huh, we shouldn't say that!" In the movie Ramona said at the dinner table I feel like saying a bad word, so her parents said "Ok Go Ahead get it out!" So after a long pause she said "GUTS!" They all laughed, so I thought it was cute she remembered that from the movie and thought it was a bad word. I sure missed my boys, but we had Fun Girls Nights Out as Brylee would say!!!
