While I was biking...

... the kids were having fun

 hiking and playing in Sedona.

It's great to know that Karl takes care of them very well 

and knows what they like. 

It's great to escape to Sedona and enjoy some warmth. 

Running barefoot on green grass. 

Warm sun on arms and legs. 

Red sand and rocks. 

A little piece of heaven. 

After I got back from this ride, 

we went back to the park and the boys found

a few friends to play soccer with

while Karl was mountain biking.

Score!

Whenever Max was content playing soccer with the big boys, 

I enjoyed lying in the sun and watching them. 

Doesn't get much better than that.

While I was biking and running in St. George, 

Karl and the boys went to another one of Noah's 

soccer tournament down in the Valley. 

I was sad to have to miss it but there are more to come... 

Noah #15

Noah was in soccer heaven, as usual, and the team played very well. 

He had the chance to play goalie quite a bit and 

doesn't seem to be quite as sensitive as I thought he was. 

Getting ready to defend the goal: 

These boys didn't have it easy. 

3 out of 4 games they had no sub and didn't get a break. 

But they hung tough and made it to the 

Championship Game

which ended with a shoot-out! 

Talk about excitement! 

This was Noah's dream come true! 

In the end they lost 

but we are very proud of all of them! 

What a great U7 team!

A big thank you to Coach Ken and Coach Brandon!

In case you are concerned: 

Karl gets to have fun here and there as well! 

While he was running on our way back from the Valley one weekend,

the boys and I got to play in Red Tank Draw. 

Mud, mud, mud!

Life is Good!
