Summing Up September

September is always one of our busiest months with soccer, dancing, back to school, choir, and last minute family get aways we were moving from one thing to the next.

My last time hosting a team night.  It was fun to be able to sign up with Robyn and then we enlisted the help from Mom and Dad Losee to use their backyard, and have Dad Losee be our chef with his YUMMY BBQ ribs and dutch oven potatoes.  The girls enjoyed the food and company of their teammates.

 This month has been another up and down month for Jadyn and her soccer career.  She has loved being captain but she has been having problems with her knee still and on Fri. scrimage she went down again.  We took her to the doctor on Mon and he still wants to wait on surgery (an answer to my prayers) he thinks she will be able to play and should be able to play in college (if she wants to) but she needs to make sure she is doing her strengthening exercises and icing (all the time).

 The girls always love going to Jadyn's soccer games.  The other night Jantzyn told Jadyn she played good and Jadyn did even play because of her knee.  It was pretty funny.

 The parents and grandparents also love going to the games (we do know when she plays in the game)  We have quite the cheering section and the refs know it!

 Our September friday nights have been filled with tail gaiting and football games.  The younger girls have loved getting their faces painted and hair colored before the games.

 The Eshelles have had some really cute dances this year and they have looked better than I have seen them in the last couple years.  This is their kick Routine to Some Oldies through the ages.  It is my favorite of all their dances this year, and those girls can kick!

 We also had a horrible flood on Tues September 11th that flooded some the businesses we frequent and 61 homes alot of them friends of the girls and Terry and I.  But out of awful things do come some wonderful things.  The girls and Terry all volunteered helping and they loved every minute of service they gave.  Jadyn said that Desert Hills High School bused their football and girls soccer teams over to help.

We also spent time enjoying SC Homecoming week.

 Jorrin and Jadyn were both in the parade.

Eshelle fans getting ready for their awesome military routine during half time.

They did so good!!

My second favorite dance is their hip hop....Ghostbuster Style.

 Jadyn went to homecoming with one of her friends Greg.

 She looked gorgeous as always.

Jaicelyn has also still been improving her soccer skills and we watch her every sat as she plays.

 We were lucky and were able to win 8 free Lagoon tickets. So we of course invited Jake and Jorrin brought her friend Kathleen.  We had soo much fun.  It was the first night of FRIGHTMARES so we got to see the park all scaried up (we even stayed the whole time although we had to try to avoid the zombies the 2 little girls didn't like).  I only made it on 4 rides before I was done, Terry made it through most of the day.  I think he was finally done around 8:00 but even though everyone else kept saying they felt sick they kept going.  They even went through a haunted house.

After we ate at our favorite place JCW's  (the kids were so tired they almost fell asleep).

Jantzyn has also kept us going she has followed in Jadyn's footsteps and made Sunset Express Choir.  Their first performance was at a Assisted Living Home.  They did great and Terry and I have fun watching the audience too.

Annual Delta Reunion

This year none of my girls could wait for the Delta reunion, although not for all the same reasons.

 Jadyn couldn't wait to see Jake (after being away from him for 3 weeks)

 the others couldn't wait to see their cousins and do all of our traditions we do every year.

 This year the weather put a damper on all our traditions.  Right after we got to the park for lunch

 it started pouring so we knew the Hard Pan (my girls favorite part of Delta) was off.

 We ended up spending most of our time at the park this year, but the kids ended up make some new traditions from it.

 The older kids (some way older than others...Terry and Brandon) had a football game.

and some of the other Adults and Jor sat through the yearly auction.

the younger kids enjoyed every second of being able to do as they please all day long.

 Brandon insisting he was the one and only winner of the football game.

 The kids were able to swim a lot this time also since we didn't have the time crunch for the hard pan.

 The second time at the park on Sat.

 One of the new traditions started "The Shirtless Warriors"  emerging from the black of night to scare us all.

 Yes that is Terry he couldn't let a tradition start without him.

 The girls trying to get involved since they really can't join the shirtless warriors.

 Sunday we tried to stick to tradition ...

 but right after we got done puttting pennies on the tracks, Terry's sister's family tried and got told from the Railroad Union people that it's against the law to put pennies on the tracks now.

luckily we were able to go back and find our pennies one last time.

 We also drove out to Terry's Dad's old house and farm.

 One last "new thing" this year was we had family pictures in Delta.

We were able to "country it up" we had them in a hay field, on a train, and some tractors.  I can't wait to see them, i bet they will be so cute.

Hopefully next year we will be able to get back to some of our old traditions while keeping some of the new ones we started this year.

Jorrin's First Football Half Time Performance

This year Snow Canyon is trying something new, they are calling it Fan Fest and it's a mini tailgate party before each game.  Different clubs have booths, they have food you can buy, games and face painting for the kids (and adults too if you want), and entertainment, the Eshelles perform 30 second routines to get the crowd pumped up.  I went and helped with the Eshelle booth and it was a lot of fun.  I hope it catches on my kids have loved going each time.

Jadyn's First Away Game

This year SC's first away game was at Canyon View in Cedar.  For some reason the girls have siked themselves out about being able to play on grass.  They won but only 3-2 and it was a hard fought game even though canyon view isn't that good.  Jadyn ended up getting 2 yellow cards (don't even get me started on this years reffing) and had to sit the last 10 mins out of the game and had to miss their next game which was one they definitely needed her for, it was against Cedar in Cedar the warriors ended up losing that game 1-0.  But they have come back and are now in first place in the region.  The girls have their last game of the first half of the season tonight against Hurricane and then they start the lineup again. Hopefully they can continue to play tough (against both the teams and unfortanantly against the refs) and win region.

 At the Cedar games they have varsity play first and then JV so after the varsity game Jadyn and some of her teammates worked on their AP stats homework.

 Jor loves watching Jay's games (really she knew we were going to eat after).

Eating at DQ after the game with the rest of the fam that came to watch Jadyn and Calli play.
