Soccer, Swimming, Chickens

Gretchen's soccer team moved to AA this year and participated in the Adidas Cup tournament a few weekends ago.  Gretchen plays goalie and field and did a great job.  Her team took second place in the tournament for their age group.  Woo hoo!!!  Congratulations Gretchen!

Bailey and Gretchen spent an afternoon at the Lehi outdoor pool this summer.  I captured a couple pictures and thought I'd share.

Our chickens are almost full grown now.  We had a surprise with one, Ryder, who turned out to be a rooster.  Unfortunately, Lehi doesn't allow residential homes to have roosters, so we found a nice farm out by Utah Lake that would take him.  The other four are getting along fine without him, but Gretchen is still a little sad.  The chickens eat weeds, grass, bugs and pretty much anything you'd throw in your compost pile.  They stay in the yard, close to their coop, if we let them out and love to chase each other around.
