Summer 2010

Rylee makes the Ben Lomond High School Varsity Team
So with Rylee with out a team and really not knowing what she wanted to do she decided to try out for Ben Lomonds Soccer Team. For those of you that don't really know Rylee, she is a very smart athletic girl that skipped 5th grade. So not only is she a young 9th grader this year she barely turned 13 on May.
When she tried out for B.L. she didn't know what to expect. OK... she thought well may be I will make the J.V team that would kinda be cool. So she tried out on a Monday and Tuesday and by Wednesday it was confirmed she had made the Varsity Team!!!

Rylee is having the time of her life and comes home every day and says how cool it is to have "seniors" for friends and that they are alot nicer than people think.
B.L. has played some pre-season games they did 4 won 2 and lost 2 their season begins on the 2nd of September.
One of the biggest things Rylee wanted was to be #8 well that didn't happen so she is playing #28 at least it still has a "8" in it.

Summer 2010

Park City Tournament with Forza
After Rylee left Koas we really didn't know what to do next so she decided to go to her Farmington Families house for a week. During that we she went and started to practice with Johnny's team again. During that time Johnny asked her to be a guest player for the Park City Tournament.
All the girls piling each other after the girls finally won the tournament after over-time and penalty kick. It was a great tournament and it gave Rylee a new direction to work toward.

Johnny really wanted Rylee to step it up and so she decided to body up. Here is a picture of her doing it.
Close up of Rylee going in for a sub doesn't she look good in Forza colors
A great picture of the Champion team of the Park City Tournament

The begining and the end

We had some great times this summer. We went to Oregon and Washington, Idaho and last but not least Colorado. You could call us the traveling bunch. After Colorado Rylee wasn't enjoying soccer anymore as a matter of fact she hated it. So Chris and I let her make the decision to quit the Koas team. It was her decision and she had to make it fully on her own. Chris and I told her we would support her in what ever decision she made.

We go home on Sunday the 18th of July and she had made her decision. She called Whit and told her she no longer wanted to play for the Koas. For a 13 yo girl this had to be one of the hardest decision in her young life. She made it and away we went. So after 9 years of playing soccer were at a stand still not really knowing what to do or where to go....

Summer Fun 2010

So we went camping over July 4th. Henry Idaho here we come. Chris HATES camping so he drove up for a day in the hot rod, just early enough to be put in the parade. Here is the hot rod with Chris, Jazmyn, Rylee and Kin.
Jazmyn thought camping would be fun.... she was really bored and wouldn't leave Jack alone.

Camping up in Henry isn't like camping anywhere else. Bonnie and Eddy do it up right. We had mud shirts, necklace making, a band and even fireworks that were better then Ogden Cities.


I know what you are thinking, but it isn't so. They are taking a page from Lady and the Tramp. Instead of noodles they were sharing fruit by the foot.


Kin trying to read and Rylee annoying her. For some reason Rylee was on one that night. She made me laugh so hard that tears were coming out.
