What's a Hat Trick?

Trey is playing city league soccer and is on a team at his school too. The other night he played the best I have ever seen him play. He was the goalie for the first half, and had many saves, the other team didn't score on him. He even dove a couple of times and made it look really cool.

The second half he was a forward. My mom and dad were there to watch him, and my dad buys the grandkids a hamburger if they score. Well, Trey scored early in the second half, and my dad yells out "Do you want fries with your burger?!" Apparently Trey thought that would be great because he was playing like a boy possessed. The kid was everywhere! He scored again, and grandpa says, "if you want a drink too, you gotta go for the Hat Trick." Trey ran off like a crazy man. He ran out of time to score a third time, but he was pretty pumped that he scored his team's only goals.

P.S. A Hat Trick is scoring 3 goals in one game (Trey didn't know what it meant either :))

Rock Canyon Ride

Last Saturday, Bill, Trey, my dad, Trey's cousin Logan, and a few other people went on a 4-wheeler ride. They started up Hobble Creek canyon and ended up overlooking Rock Canyon near the Squaw Peak area. The picture Bill took of the valley are awesome!

Biker Grandparents

My parents just got a new motorcycle this spring, and it just wouldn't be right if they weren't dressed to fit the part. Did you know there is even a "biker wave"? Anyway Grandpa took Trey on a ride around the neighborhood the other day, and Trey loved it.

How Lucky am I?

I have got two of the best boys on earth. Our dishwasher is broken, and they will still volunteer to do the dishes for me. Thank goodness Trey still thinks it is fun.

She's Here!

Libby Rose Hooper was born Sunday, September 14, 2008. She is the only girl born on that side of the family in the past 8 years. We are so excited that she is here. Trey loved holding her for the first time and did not want to give her up.

Afro Noodles!?!

Last night we were sitting down to dinner. I had made Chicken Alfredo. Trey immediately pipes up that he only likes the noodles and plain chicken. Bill tells him that he will like the sauce, and please just try it. Trey refuses to even try, and goes on to inform us that there is no way he will ever like "AFRO" sauce on his spagqhetti. Needless to say, after the tears of laughter were wiped away, he got to eat a heaping plateful of plain noodles, and ate every bit of it.

First Day of 2nd Grade

It breaks my heart a little to see Trey getting so big, but it is fun at the same time. Here is my handsome man going to 2nd grade for the first time.

If you know us well, you know that we love being out on the water every chance we get. We are all very amateur wakeboarders, even Trey. We all have huge dreams of the tricks we will probably never learn how to do, but hey, it's fun trying.
