Weekend Round Up

Soccer: They lost their first game of the whole season. Sophie scored their one and only goal in the last 30 seconds of the game. Afterward their coach said this:

"I'm very disappointed in the way you played and you should be disappointed in yourselves."

Hmmm. Nice. We saw 2 girls crying as they walked away. I should have said,

"Coach, i'm very disappointed in the way you spoke to those girls and you should be disappointed too." What a lame-O.

Both Friday and Saturday we went to the Grove and did a little shopping at the Gap. Ok, a lot of shopping at the Gap. Our friend gave us a friends and family 30% off discount card and we went a little crazy. It was a blast. We don't do a lot of school shopping in Sept. because the weather is just like summer for sooooo long. Now that it's thanksgiving, it's starting to cool down. Thank goodness!! So it was like school shopping just right before the holidays and with a discount card.

The Grove was all decorated for Christmas so it was so much fun!! Just what we needed to get in the spirit of Christmas.

The round face emerges...


Blurry, but adorable.


And then sunday Sophie had a piano recital. She played "I want to live the gospel" and it was more of a hymn sing a long so she got some experience accompanying. It was great. No photos of the actual playing at the piano, but here's shot of her with her friend and her teacher.





So now this week we're getting ready to go to Utah for Thanksgiving and then on to Christmas!! Anyone have some good holiday music suggestions?

If that is a "round" face, I would like to know what you think I look like on a regular basis? I see no roundness. I think it's in your head. You look awesome!!!
