Father's Day

Okay, so Father's Day was in June right? After Sunday dinner (I can't recall, but maybe we went to Chuch -a- Rama). We took Glen up to the mountains of Snowbird where he loves to be. We took a long stroll on one of the trails together. It was very nice, a little chilly, and saw some wildlife, even some snow (dirty snow). Here are some highlights. My family is growing up . . .sniff sniff.

Excuse my tardiness . . .

It feels that I have taken most of the summer off of blogging. Since I know that so many of you want to catch up on the lives of the Proctor's I will attempt to put some new photos up this week and turn over a new leaf in blogging about the regular and usual things that happen in our family. Stay tuned for some updates from Summer 2009.

Fridge Fun

Imagine how fun cleaning out the refridgerator is. Sadie and Keaton had an absolute blast last week helping me clean out the fridge - a job not for the weak - and not a job I pursue very often. As I took out all of the food - they took all of the shelving and scrubbed till their hearts' delight. Getting wet was half the fun. Sadie said "mom this is so fun we could do it every two years!" . . . and she was serious! They both have asked me since "when do we get to do the freezer?" . . . maybe in a couple of years . . . I love my kids!!! I wish they would ask "when can we do the oven?"

Utah Summer Games Champions

Keaton and Alex's basketball teams were both entered to compete in the Utah Summer Games last week. Alex's team, TAZERS, coached by Glen, went 5-1. Check out the Tazers blog at http://www.tazersbball.blogspot.com/ for the play-by.

In the individual competitions, Alex received a bronze medal for 3-point shoot-out.

Keaton's CRASH team went undefeated, almost surrendering to the silver medal, however, in the final seconds of the game took home the gold medal also.

Sadie, well, she went to all 12 games, enjoyed some basketball friends, some pool time, and also made a name for herself as the CRASH team cheerleaders along with other sisters from the team. This is Sadie at about game #10. What a good sport!

We had a fabulous, basketball filled 3 days. Now, onto summer.

Sadie vs Scooter

Cutting to the chase . . . Sadie lost the battle verses the scooter. She was riding down the hill on her way to school and CRASH . . . she doesn't remember much after that. Already on my way to work, Glen called me and told me he would meet me at the emergency room because Sadie had an accident. When I got there, Sadie was already in CT scanning for a head injury, and x-rays for a banged up arm, and then returned to CT for a facial review. She now has road rash on most of her face, elbow, hand and knee. She has a broken - but not displaced (like that is any consolation) nose, and 4 broken perminent teeth - which is the big kicker, along with a contusion on her head that makes her pretty dizzy - not the usually dizziness of a 2nd grade girl. After over 3 hours in the ER, we took her home where she was able to rest a little bit, and then off to see Craig to have her teeth looked at because the inside was exposed and could be painful. She was such a brave but scared little girl, who was and still is in a lot of pain . . . they wouldn't allow us to take morphine home . . . but today she is doing much better and after the blood was cleaned up, she is looking better and better. Road rash really hurts, but so does a broken nose and lip that is so swollen that she practically needs to turn her head to see around it. Thanks for all of the kind notes and well wishes for her, her spirits have been lifted today, except that she is missing out on all of the fun - last week of school-activities! We love you Sadie!

And no, she wasn't wearing a helmet.

Alex's Choir Concert

Alex is changing from a tenor to a baratone - did I spell that right? He has had a good time in his singing groups and spends two nights each week practicing with the performance group. Along with travelling throughout the year for performances, he has made a lot of good friends. Awesome Alex!

Alex is next to the girl on the bottom row.

Summertime is Pedicure-time

Fancy fancy fancy, Sadie said that we should make this a tradition . . . I completely agree!

Sadie wasn't sleeping, but it was so nice that we could've!

2 Championships Same Shirt

Keaton's basketball team entered two age divisions in the same league. While Keaton is in 5th grade, he plays for a 6th grade team. They played other 6th graders AND other 7th graders. Yep, you guessed it, Keaton's team, CRASH wins the leagues with undefeated records AND they win the championship tourney's of EACH league. So they got two of the same t-shirts! Yeah CRASH!

Sadie and soccer

Have I mentioned that soccer isn't one of my favorite sports. Especially when the field is so small that they kick it out of bounds every other kick! But, it is turning into Sadie's favorite sport. She had a really good little season and is showing improvement every game. I'll keep going to her games, but I'll also try to insert a little softball in here and there.

Keaton's Viola Concert

Keaton had his viola concert during May, yes, I am late at posting all of the happenings. I am so proud of him and sticking to the early morning viola classes at the school. The concert was fun, with a little screetching here and there, but you could actually discern what piece they were playing this time. Good job Keaton. Next year he wants to play the cello! Mom's not sure about that. Sadie wants to play the Cello too, but I told her that you need to be able to carry your own instrument and since even a jr. cello is bigger than her, we'll wait another year.
