Freshman Varsity

Alex’s Ranger’s soccer team participated in the Las Vegas Cup Soccer Tournament. They played some really good teams. Won 1 out their first 3 but scored enought goals to advance. They then won the semifinals and finals against the top 2 Nevada teams that were ranked 27th and 69th respectively.

Here we are as fans/supporters.

We went to the Natural History Museum in Salt Lake City the day after New Year’s to explore and have a bit of fun. Jack was super excited about just about everything in there. He wants to be an astrophysicist or a scientist when he grows up. He is full of questions about the periodic table, states of matter, light and chemistry. He sure is a lot of fun to talk to just to watch his mind work.

The architecture of the building is super cool. Here we are on the stairs leading to the starting point of the museum.

Here he is discussing our solar system and weather patterns on the sun with D.

Jack loved looking at all of the cool things under a special microscope.

Alex and Jack looking at cool stuff.

Jack was pretty intrigued by some of the cool insects they had on display.

In this pic, the boys are trying to reassemble a dinosaur fossil.

The highlight of Christmas day was talking to this girl. Sure do love her.

Went to Temple Square to see the lights with Christian Butler’s family.

Had some fun snowshoeing with the Arizona Butlers.

Had fun watching Katy play with the Orchestra on Temple Square. She is in front at the far right.
