Soccer State Champs

We went and saw my cousin Jessica Berg play in the 5a State Championship Soccer match. What a great game to go to. It was tied in over time at 0 to 0 and then Jesse scored the winning goal. Way to go Rocky Mountain. Valerie and Quincy nearly lost their voices as they were cheering so very loudly for Jesse the entire game.

Farewell Again

Off my parents go to serve as missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Buenos Aires, Argentina Mission. This is their second spanish speaking mission. We are grateful for their sacrifice and example. We will miss you but know you will touch the lives of many!

Good times with the FAMILY!

Just the Two of Us!

Dave for the second year in a row surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas. I did know before hand when and where we we going but he made all the arrangements from hotel to flights to babysitting! It was an amazing trip and oh so fun to just be together! We went to shows (the "O" and the variety show). We ate crab and frequented our favorite sandwich shop called Earls.

Our hotel at Planet Hollywood towers. Loved it!

Wax Museum

Dave & Chuck Ladell.
A few years ago when we were in Vegas Dave went to see him fight UFC.

Sugar Factory!
Yes it was a favorite of mine!

We showed these pictures of the wax museum
to the kids and they
thought we really met the ROCK!

Thanks Dave for the fun Birthday trip (I turned 39!) and Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Shirley for taking on 4 extra kids. Ashley and Cade stayed home and were watched over by friends and neighbors.

Show and Tell

Hailey and her look a like American Girl Doll went to school together today!

Cement poured!

Ty loves to go out and work???? He will get a push toy and walk back and forth like he is mowing the lawn. In this pic he was helping Cade out with the patio.

Yes! Oour cement patio out back finally got poured. Now we only have the steps left to do. It has been an all summer project started by Cade. Really, we needed Cade to have a job this last summer but he is too young to be officially employed so Dave came up with stuff for him to do. It required taking out all our pavers and preparing ground for concrete. He did a good job and it did keep him busy!

True Blue BYU

And so the season of BYU football is underway and so are our many trips to Provo! Everyone loves it if we could minus the long traveling part. The tahoe is packed to the max and Chandra the dog has tried taking over the back seat by jumping the seat from the cargo area. The kids don't think its funny but I laugh when I hear them getting after Chandra like she is one of them.

We have upgraded from 2 to 4 season tickets this year. Everybody wants to go and wear their matching shirts. Mostly, they want to go for the snacks Dave buys them. They look forward to it all year long.

Valerie is very upset at Chandra for taking over her spot but still wanted
Flat Stanley to be in a pic.

Hanging with the cousins is always a hit! Grandma & Grandpa Shirley are always so sweet to let all the Keller family come over to eat, hang out, and visit. Mix in a little volleyball and we have a full on party!
