Gentry's 12th Birthday!

 Saturday, August 29th Gentry turned 12!
 Friday night she had soccer practice and Calli also had a preseason game so it was pretty late when we got home. As we pulled into the drive-way we saw this sign in our grass from the YW.  I can't believe I'm going to have another YW. She was so excited! She had also received gifts from both grandparents and wanted to open them that night.
 Journal and YW bracelet from grandma and grandpa Losee
 Armor of God coin from grandma and grandpa Peterson. They had received a coin just like it when they were in the MTC because of their military mission. 
 Saturday morning! Gentry's Birthday. She got an entire box of donuts for her birthday breakfast...per her request!
 She opened presents from us that morning because we had a pretty busy day with her soccer game and birthday party. 
 A new wubble bubble ball
and  new cleats. She also got a doll, a soccer towel to keep her cool during games and practices, a volleyball for her party and Calli and Sadie got her chips and mascara. 
Party Time!
Invites!
 Concessions
 Outdoor Movie

 Having fun while waiting for all the guests to arrive. She had invited about 15 kids and all came but 3.

That quickly turned into a game of soccer. They even made themselves "grocery sack jerseys"

It was a fairly easy party and turned out great. Gentry was happy and that's all that matters! She has a great group of cute friends!

Pre-Season

August 2015
Preseason Games
They had 6 preseason games. 4 home and 2 away. 
Calli and Hannah in their cute new team warm-ups
It has Peterson on the sleeve and #20 on the front under warriors.   
Varsity Warming Up. Seniors in the front leading the drills. 
Team Captains heading out for the coin toss. Calli was SO excited to be a captain. The girls voted on 3 out of 8 girls both Seniors and Juniors and Calli got picked along with Jenny and Mishayla. 
Team Cheer. Seniors in the middle leading the cheer. 

 These were from the game against Mountain View and were in the "St. George News."
Megan, Jenny and Calli
 Love this picture of her and coach Kunde going over a play. 
 Duane bandaging up Calli's leg. One of Calli's favorite moves is to slide kick the ball. The only problem is she usually comes away with some pretty good turf burns.


 Calli and the defenders practicing their long kicks during warm-ups
Water Break!  During pre-season it gets so hot that they have water breaks.
Sadie is the Team Manger this year (other post)
 I'm so glad they get to spend Calli's last season together. They are going to have so much fun!
Gentry and Halee watching the game after one of their practices.
 Calli showing off her "Captain Badge" that she gets to wear in each game. 
Home Games were a success we won 1 and tied 2. 
They had two games up north. Sadie was so excited to get to go with them. We got this picture from them when the team stopped for lunch. 
We answered back with this one. We drove up and spent the weekend as well. Bo loved having the back seat all to herself. 
And spending the weekend with just mom and dad.
 Although after a while she gets bored without her sisters around. Entertaining herself at one of the games. 
 We had a great family turn-out for the Saturday Game. Stacy and her family and Susie and her family all came to the game to support. They were all so excited to see their cousins. 
 Sadie and Jaice saying goodbye to Kassi before they load the bus. 
 Calli and Hannah ready to head home. Away Games weren't as successful. We played the two 5A State Champs from the past two years. They swallowed us whole. But it's always a good experience...
Now bring on Region!!
