Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Last weekend the Shock played in the Arena Cup (the championship for Arena Football 2) in Spokane. Saturday night we went to a team welcome dinner and Sunday night we went to the awards dinner. It was held downtown at the Davenport Hotel and was so nice! We got to dress up and hang out with the coach and other owners of the team.
We are here with the Nelsons and Nebekers. The coach and my brother were on the other side of the table, so you can't see them.
Brady got the AF2 executive of the year award.
The AF2 commisioner gave the Shock owners an AFL watch as a thank you gift for hosting the cup. Unfortunately I don't have any great photos of our team's victory. Evidently "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." It was the most exciting arena finals ever, but it didn't go our way. We had a chance to win at the very end of the game and our kicker tried for a field goal. He missed it, and we went into overtime. We scored quickly, and then the Vipers had their chance. They ended up scoring and then getting a 2 point conversion to beat us by 1 point. It was very sad, but the team had a great season. We got a room to stay at the Davenport that night and our kids went home with my neice. It would have been much better if they had won, but it was still a great weekend.
The Pypers came with us to the lake and spent the night Friday. We hung out on the boat on Saturday before we went in for team welcome dinner. Carter and Tucker are so cute together. Tucker is probably the funniest little kid I know!

Our friend Jon Abrams and Jackson
We took the boat up the river to Anderson Lake for better water. It is about a 20 minute boat ride but very worth it.

Olivia put on Jonny's glasses. It is definitely a step up from her usual goggle pictures. I just got back yesterday from a fabulous girls weekend in Vegas for my sister-in-laws bachelorette party. Stayed tuned for those pictures coming soon!

how can you say you're not a good blogger! I finally blogged after 2 1/2 months, funny, that's about how long summer is. You guys all look great, and yes, most of your stuff is football and lake, but it's fun stuff so who cares. Maybe we'll make it to a shocks game one of these days.

Sharlene, it was so fun to get caught up on your blog and your Summer. You guys do so many fun family activities. Congrats on another great season with Shock. (sorry they lost and it was sooo close) You look so good in all of your pictures. I love that you know Meaghann so well. I met her at BYU right after her and Adam got married. She used to help me with the boys on Sunday. Keep in touch. amanda

wow perfect waterskiing water for sure. Way worth the 20 minute boat ride. Sad that the skiing days are coming to an end way to soon. Bummer about the Shock losing, but really how much closer could it have been
