Kassi Soccer Champion

So Kassi and her team played in the Hot Shots Tournament here the week before Memorial Weekend. This is the largest soccer tournament in the Northwest. We had 169 teams register and show up to play soccer. There were fields set up at Hayden Meadows, Canfield Middle, Skyway Elem., Lake City High, Coeurd'Alene High, LDS church on Honeysuckle, and NIC.

On Saturday we played a Valley Thunder from Lewiston and won 2 - 1. Then another STING team (Clark) and won 2 - 1. On Sunday we played The Strikers from Missoula and won 6 - 1. And then for the Championship game we play The Nighthawks from Lakeland and won 4 -2. These girls played so well and were so tired when they were through. This was also the first nice weekend that we had and we all came home with a sunburn!

Now we are headed to Kalispel tomorrow for the last tournament of this season. I hope they play just as well and come home winners again! I will let you know how it goes.

1st Camping trip of the year!

Ok so I am going to brag that we went on our first camping trip of the year. IT WAS GREAT!!!!!! I love being out - not thinking of what needs to be done at the house (and trust me there is alot). But it just feels good to not worry and be on my feet cleaning all day and night.

We really wanted to go up to Priest Lake, but again we did not plan far enough ahead for it and they were all booked up. So we thought about going up towards Hope, and hopefully we would find a spot. But Larry called me Tuesday afternoon and said that he had gotten us a spot. YEH! One of his accounts has some property on the Ponderay River, and they were not going to be using it so she said that we were more than welcome to. At first I was a little skeptical but once we got there I was so happy that she let us use it.

Gabby and Kassi went fishing for the first time and each of them caught a fish. I got a picture of Gabby with hers but Kassi lost hers off the dock before I could get the camera out:( Rocky didn't hardly sleep, he kept running in the water all day long (kinda like my yard), and Kujo got mad because he wasn't being played with. Sophia well she was sophia - laying in the sun all day long. Rocky has decided that he also likes to go fishing. When anyone would pull a fish out of the water he was biting them as if he did the catching.

Then we went up to Colin to fish in Priest Lake and they were having a craft fair and parade celebration. So of course we had to stop and see what was for sale. We got some super yummy marinated garlic, pickled green beans and Honey Maple dressing. I am going to see if I can find the recipe for the dressing so I can make my own. And instead of cutting a section out of my yard for a fire pit, we found a really cute fire ring with a moose, dear, elk and bear cut in to it - and even better it was only $35. I haven't found anything that reasonable anywhere. So all in all we had an AWESOME weekend.

Now we are back home and reality is setting in. I tried to rototill the garden again, but the dang thing keeps quitting on me. So Jake that great guy that he is came over and did it for me while I was making dinner. Now tomorrow the girls and I are going to finally plant our veggies! I can't wait for them to be here.

Check out the pictures and let me know what you think of her property. I wish it was mine!
