MS Walk Provo 2008

This year at the MS Walk they had a team flag making contest and of course ours was the best and we won, last year we won for best team attire, go figure!

Lisa, Joyce (mom), Chris, Todd, Lucy, Nate, Charles, Brigitte, Geoff, Robyn....WE ARE TeaMSpeedy we had a total of 12 people that signed up on our team but, you can see only 10 of us were at the walk, while others were excused so long as they walked in spirit, which I totally know they did.
We walked a total of three miles...which was nothing, I remember when I was younger we used to walk... I think for the march of dimes and it seemed like we walked forever like ten miles, but it was probably only three.
We only took pictures of some of our team walking as the others were more SPEEDY than the rest.....meaning Lucy, Brigitte, Geoff and Chris as they all ran/jogged
I just thought this was a cute picture to end with, I think they were talking about trees to climb, and the music that Nate was listening to on the mp3.... I beleive it was U2. For all of you who read this blog thanks for all your support.

Soccer game update

Just thought I would give an update about the Soccer games played this week.
Nathan played a game on Tuesday the 22 with a final score of 1-1, it was another cold game, I'm wondering if this weather will ever change, I get depressed watching the news to find out the weather is still going to be crappy. Christopher played a game on Wed. the 23 and they won 2-0, his team had to redeem themselves after the last game, the score was 0-9. We can't blame Chris for not trying on the last game as we were in Phoenix, enjoying the WARM weather.

2008 Silva Family Reunion in Phoenix

We all went riding motorcycles and atv's one day out in the desert which is about 10 min. from Pauls house and had a blast until....Nathan got lost following Todd and Austin as they were racing through the desert. We searched frantically for about 1hr. before Lisa called 911 there were 8 people out searching for him.
This was the police officer who came to escort us to the location of our lost rider who was approx. 7 miles away. Nathan said he crashed 5 times but kept on going.....tough little bugger!
If you look behind Nathan at the mountain with the peak he was on the other side of that waiting for us with 2 girls, 1boy and another police officer. When he realized that he was lost he told a gentlemen and they helped him get reunited with his family. He was gone for a total of 2hrs.
We also went to the Nascar race in Phoenix, this is a picture with the whole gang who went and all the stuff we hauled in. We looked like total rednecks!
We sat up on rattlesnake hill, but there were no snakes present, just a little lizard! It was great fun!

When we were in Phoenix for our family reunion everyone had a great time at Pauls house playing games and talking to one another. We also went to the pool that is just up the street so all the kids could swim.

Chris's first game of the season

The first game of the season for Chris, he played Goalie, forward and defender and did awesome at all three. He did walk away from his game with aches and pains from a bloody nose, I wish there was a great story behind the bloody nose, but he gave it to himself ( his nose met his own knee) not some other person. While being Goalie he somehow got his foot stomped on by another player. They played a good game, but in the end lost 4-2. Oh well there is always another game to play. Don't you love how he distorts his body when kicking the ball?

Spring Soccer....BURRRR!!!!

Nathans first soccer game of the season was tonight and it was freakin' COLD, as you know when the wind blows here it is very cold. But despite being cold during the game his team one with a score of 1-0

What a Dork

Ok, I'm the Dork (Lisa)....I thought I could change the layout to a cool soccer theme, well in the process of doing so I deleted all previous posts on the blog so we are pretty much starting over. I really shouldn't be allowed to play on the computer.

Nathans competetion 3/29/08

Well the little man kicked butt again at his competetion, as you can see he came home with 3 more gold medals to add to his collection. He was having some trouble with his back handsprings latley (landing on his head) but at the competetion he didn't land on his head once, and when he did his back tuck off the double mini tramp he stuck his landing like a rock and was very proud of himself. He is very funny, the pants he has on are actually on backwards, he says its for good luck:)!
