Strong Family: September Activities and Treven's Birthday!

Along with School and the changing of the color of the leaves fall to our family means Football, soccer, more football, and oh yeah a little more football. With Tyler getting his cast off Tyler finally got to play in a game. I was so proud of him for sticking with all those practices for a month so he could get back in an finish out his season. Treven Has loved having Ryan be his coach and even though he does get sick of practing, with this kid it doesn't matter what sport he just wants to play the game not practice, he has done really well and has loved playing defense. Halle is my little ballarenia and this year has really loved doing her dance class along with soccer. She did well and loved playing defense the best and she did an awesome job doing it, even when going up against some girls that were three heads taller! Emery had a good season playing cub soccer for the first time. She didn't make all the games due to her not wanting to play but she did by the end of the season get a goal! We were so proud of her and dad even promised her a bike, which he still has to make good on! She was a hoot to watch play since all she wanted to do was do cartwheels and make sure all of us were watching her. Her best move was when the ball was kick right to her but since she was talking to the other players ran right over the ball and didn't even notice it! But she made it so fun to watch and it was even sweeter when she got a goal! Emery is also doing dance with her friend Susie and has loved dancing and showing off her moves! Stephanie and Liz did an amazing job coaching and I loved getting to just sit on the sidelines and watch this year! Thank you ladies!

Emery's best friend is Susie! She had her birthday and Emery had so much fun that even though she doesn't even talk about princesses she is now requesting a princess party for her birthday!

For Treven's Birthday this year since it was his off year for a friend party, Ryan and I took Treven to the BYU football game. It was so fun just going out with Treven and just spending time with him and letting him talk and talk and talk to us without anyone interupting him. It is amazing how everyday we ask him how his day went and he will only give us a sentence, but you get him without any distractions and we learned so much about what is going on with him.

Springville City had a celebration to honor all the construction companies that at one time in the history of Springville made this city have the most in the United States. Strong Company that was started by my Great Grandpa was one of the biggest at one point between the 50's and 60's. The city build a little park by the library and had a plaque made up with all the construction companies name. It was fun to take the kids down and show them some family history. Even their Grandpa Averett and one time worked for the Strong Company.

Well it was time to celebrate Treven's 11th Birthday and since I couldn't find any Denver Bronco stuff to make a cake with Treven was happy with his second favorite football team, BYU! Treven was so happy to have all his cousins and aunts and uncles at his house along with Grandma and Grandpa Averett to sing to him and make him feel special on his day! Well his the day before his real birthday since he would be at football practice.

HAPPY BIRHDAY TREVEN! Time again for the breakfast in bed tradition of our birthdays. Treven had a little bit of a hard time waking up, but when he did he was ready for his gift! He got to go shopping with my dad for his gift from Grandma and Grandpa Averett, which of course he picked out legos, so it was time for his present from mom and dad. Treven was really excited to get a new iPod along with all the stuff we let him buy at the BYU game. Nothing says breakfast like Mcdonalds!

Even with playing football we always find time to go and watch football and support Springville high School! We took the kids down to the Homecoming game and hung out with some friends and let the kids run around. The girls found out they were pretty good at cheerleading and had fun all night practicing their new skill!
