Still catching up, part 2.

January of 2010 was pretty quite. Randy had his 33 rd b-day. He doesn't like his b-day so we really kept it low key. We are thankful for him and all he does for us ..

February we went to St George for the Presidents Cup soccer tournament with Kobe's comp soccer team. We had a blast! They did so good, up until the semi final game. We hadn't lost so we were feeling pretty good. We ended up losing the semi finals 1-0. Talk about a heart breaker. They scored off a dumb error! We were all pretty bummed. We should've been in the finals! The regular season started shortly after that tournament and we got revenge! We only lost 1 game out of 10. We had a great season. These boys are so much fun to watch, the level of soccer they are at right now is AMAZING! I love having them all come and hang out at our house afterwards, we have a great group of boys!

March was busy with Bennett's indoor soccer games. We had him playing on a U-8 team. ( keep in mind he was only 6) . He did so good! He was the teams leading scorer! One game he was going in really hard against a bigger kid, and the ball kicked him in the face. Rand and I yelled to him to get up he's was ok. He looked up at us with blood all over his face. He got hit right in the nose. Bleeding everywhere! I felt so bad! We cleaned him up, and off he went. He was a little timid at first but that didn't last too long.

April, we GOT IN!!! MY sisters and I decided to enter to see if we would be lucky enough out of 10,000 runners ( they only let 7000 runners do it) to draw out for the ST George marathon. Yup 26.2 miles, are we crazy? I think so. I didn't think we would get in, its just the luck of the draw and i have no luck so I wasn't worried! The one time I am lucky is when I don't want to be lucky! So looks like we get to start pounding the pavement soon. The marathon is Oct 2, 2010

Its a huge race! I'm really excited! We are going to make a fun little trip out of it. Other than the April was fairly slow compared to the last two months! I subbed a lot this month. Its nice to have a option for some extra money, and its always nice to get a little break, makes my kids love me more when I'm gone a few days here and there!

May We ran the Ogden Marathon Relay race! It was fun, but we felt kinda lame just doing the relay. Specially when you are running in with people who ran 26.2 miles and you only ran 6 or 7 miles. It was fun, we had a great team. ( L to R) Jake and Erin Love, Jon and Dana Tesch, Rand and I, Scott and Brittney Berritt, Brady and Shay Manning For some this was a first time race. They did awesome! Next year we will be doing the half and some the full marathon! Randy said he would run the full marathon with me next year. It is so AMAZING watching all these people run that far, its amazing what your body will do when you push yourself! I think watching all the runners complete the Marathon really helped me get excited for my Marathon in Oct. I love to exercise and love to be challenged so this will be good.

June , Ragnar time! We had a blast! It was so hot! I was runner 3 this time, Randy was Runner 4. My total miles was 18.5 Randy had 14. My first run was so hot, I wanted to die! We had a fun team. Our team consisted of : Van #1 Randy and Brooke, Brady and Shay, Dana and Dave Astil, and Jon was our van driver. Van #2 Mike and Stacie Merrill, Shad and Nat Stromberg, Brian and Maryann Carlson, and Amy Martin was their van driver. Here are some of the highlights from Ragnar!

I am a huge biggest loser fan, I was a huge Sione fan. We were standing at the start line and I was shopping standing next to this guy. I kept telling Rand and I know that guy from somewhere. I told my sis I think that is Sione off of biggest loser, she said no I think he's from saved by the bell. Anyways, we went up and talked with him for a while. He is super cute, and super nice! We were star struck for a while!

Finally we finished! Logan to park city, 188 miles between 12 people. Its a lot of fun. Its amazing what a warm shower, tooth brush and some sleep will do for ya! Those late night and early morning runs are pretty challenging. Can't wait for next year.

Ash also had her 5th B-day! I can't believe she is growing up. She is such a little sweet heart. We love her to death. She is totally a daddy's little girl. She loves to snuggle with him and give him loves. She loves diet coke and any kind of treat. She loves to wear hats! She is always wearing these little hats, she hates to have her hair combed. She loves to be girlie but hates to put the time and effort into being girlie.

JULY I turned the big 30!! I can't believe I am 30. I use to think 30 was so old, now here I am. My friends surprised me and took me out to dinner and then shopping. We decided it would be fun to be young again, so we went and toilet papered one of our friends, hee hee! It was a good times. It was fun to be young again. Its hard to recover from being out all night when your old. I use to be able to do that every weekend with no problem.

Kobe's team played in the La Roca tournament over the 24th of July. La Roca is one of our biggest rivals! We beat them in the championship game, in double over time! It was AWESOME! We were down 1-0 within the first 30 seconds of the game. We held them the entire game, then with 5 minutes left of the game we scored, sending the game into overtime. We scored the winning goal with 2 minutes left of the 2nd overtime! It was so neat to watch these boys play as a team.. It was AWESOME! Good job Rampage boys, and awesome coaches!


Kobe and Colton. Two cousins on the team. Kobe is offense and Colt is our defender. Colton scored our tieing goal off a corner kick header.

This is Braulio. He is my adopted son. I wish, he does spend a lot of time at our house. He is an amazing player. We love this little kid to death.


This is Gil. He spends a lot of time at our house. They are great boys. We love them to death.

Last but not least, THE VICTORY DANCE! Nice jobs boys. Way to go. Can't wait for many more victory dances! Ash changed my setting on my camera so its not the best picture.
