June

Kylee, Sadie and Kaden were all signed up to play in the Yellowstone Cup at the beginning of June. Kaden was playing up to 9v9 for the first time with the Claret team (he had been playing on my team until then).  Jason and a couple other teammates got to play up as well. They did well but ended up losing the final.  They keep coming in second at all these tournaments! 

Kylee's team did well and they won.  I want to say the last game came down to PKs?  But they win all the time so this was nothing new.

Sadie's team played one game and she was hanging out with her teammates in between games while I was watching Kylee play and the car she was in got in a car accident.  It was a pretty bad one.  We are really blessed that she didn't get hurt worse.  One of her friends fractured her pelvis because she was sitting on the side where the impact happened, and it was literally just behind Sadie.  Another friend hit her had hard enough to have a really bad concussion.  Everyone else seemed to be fine but Sadie had a burn on her neck from the seat belt.  And she had banged heads with her friend.  There were like 7 of them in that car.  After all that her team pulled out of the tournament.  Even if everyone else seemed fine, they were still all a little shaken up and sore.

When the club heard about the car accident, they sent gifts.  They sent Sadie these cute mini bundt cakes

I got to have dinner in Salt Lake with my friends at a really fancy restaurant STK but Karlee worked for the company that does real estate for restaurants or something and she got our meal for free.  Then we stayed the night in a hotel and chatted.

 

Our first hike of the season was Menan Butte.  Not our usual style but it worked.

I was playing Ladies League with Michelle Sayer again but she missed a few days so Kehau came to be my partner one day!

This cat just loves to be in my way when I'm trying to garden.  He's sweet though.

Enjoying the last months of Kylee being home, even if it means my kitchen looks like this.

Sadie had a lot of fun with friends.  This was probably before the accident.

Kylee using her season pass to Lagoon!

Dylan had his birthday while we were in London, but the rest of the family stepped up and made it special for him!  They planned a little surprise party for him.  So grateful for family around.

Kylee's team played in their very last tournament.  They won so that was a fun way to end.  But man there were a lot of emotions!  It has been so fun watching these girls play for so many years.  Kylee was pretty emotional but mostly due to the frustration that this season was not what she had wanted it to be because of her torn hamstring.  She could no longer play in her regular position so she basically had to learn a new position which involved sitting out quite a bit when she's not used to sitting at all.  She was still able to do her handspring throw-ins so that was fun, though never once in any of her time doing them did her team ever score from it!  Moving on is hard.  But there are exciting things coming up in her life and now her hamstring might actually have a chance to heal.
