Good bye Trailer

Well after some long discussions and prayers, Tom and I decided to sell our trailer. The city won't let us store it our house and we really didn't use it but maybe once a year so we decided it was best to see if we could sell it. We posted it on KSL.com and it was sold in literally 5 minutes to a lady who promised us cash if we would hold it for her while she drove up from SLC. While waiting for her Tom received numerous calls one guy offered $100 more if we would sell to him but Tom is a man of his word and we waited for the lady to arrive. She arrived about 9:30 PM in the pouring rain and we signed the title over and received our money. It was a bitter sweet moment for the house. It was the trailer of our dreams. We looked and looked for it and when Tom and I first walked in we knew it was for our family. But times they do change and we are ready for the change. These are the photos I used to post the add ~ and now they are memories.

Flowers for Mom

On Mother's Day, I have to admit I was spoiled. (I am not complaining)
Tom came home with this beautiful bouquet of flowers. After the second day they bloomed and I just couldn't resist snapping a photo.
Thanks boys for making me feel so loved on my special day.
I love you all.

Family and Friends ~ that is what it is all about.

Sterling B, Kenzi A and Syd B very rarely missed a game. Thank you so much for supporting him. Sterling is just like one of the family, Kenzi (the one in the middle) has been Weston's best friend since kindergarten and now he calls her his "girlfriend" (Tom and I very much approve) and Syd is the best, she is always so happy and Garett loves her.
It makes this mom so happy to know that Weston surrounds himself with friends who are so amazing and have the same values and morals as we do. It makes letting him go out and have fun so much easier knowing he is with such great friends. Sage, who made the team with Weston, is also one of those friends. Heck, all by boys are lucky to have such wonderful friends.

Corben and Slade A were also at the game to cheer on the Scots

Livin' the Dream

As all of you know this past season Weston made the Ben Lomond High School varsity soccer team. (and if you didn't know, shame one you) He PROUDLY wore the number 10 ~ but first let me back up and give you the whole story. It all started when his parents heard that the 9th graders were not going to be allowed to try out for the high school ~ why? Because Highland Jr High offered boys soccer so they could just play with them. O' no you don't. You don't tell the Leatherows NO. So Tom and I called the district, we called the high school and we were told the same thing ~ only if he can make the varsity squad can he play. So we told Weston to begin attending the conditioning sessions and just show them what you are made of. So he is conditioning with the team, beginning to get to know them and just having a great time. THEN .... durning a church b-ball game he strais his LCL in his left knee. The physical therapist tells him that he SHOULD be able to be back just in time for try-outs. With lots of determination Weston does get released by the doctor literally the weekend before tryouts. Well he makes the team and the team had a wonderful season. I am lucky enough to work for Bank of Utah and they are wonderful and I didn't miss a single game ~ I think Tom only had to miss one (maybe two). We are super proud of Weston and his accomplishment. He really proved that 9th grades can PLAY with the big boys. The team made it to the semi-finals (photos to follow) but were knocked out by the Wasatch Wasps. Thank you so all who supported Weston and cheered him on whethter at the field or not. Here's looking to next year . . .

Garett sMiLe you are 10!

Like always Tom mans the grill ~ and does a fine job.

Celebrating Garett's 10th B-day

We celebrated Garett's birthday with a BBQ and invited over family. Garett had a great time ~ thank you to everyone who helped him celebrate his day. We are blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family.
