Jorji got baptized on June 25th! It was a really special occasion and she was sooooooooooo excited for the event. We were so lucky to have aunt Jessie, auntie Karla, Kenzie and Sydney, Grandma and Grandpa Lee, Uncle Zach and Grandma and Grandpa King all from out of town here to celebrate. It ended up being a super busy weekend because Jordan and Nathan ended up having their year end soccer tournaments on Saturday as well. But having four soccer games and a baptism all in one day was pretty exciting.

Both Grandma's gave amazing talks at he baptism and all the kids sang a musical number of "I am a Child of God." It was a really touching program and we are so proud of Jordan for making this important choice in her life.

We love the baptismal dress that Grandma King made.



Great Grandma Audrey with Grandpa.



I am really old enough to have an eight year old? Apparently.




The kids loved having the cousins here and after all the business of Saturday we were able to enjoy a beautiful Sunday in the backyard visiting and playing. Heaven. I somehow have no pictures of Jess or Karla but as usual they spoiled our kids rotten and we were so happy to have them here to celebrate with us. I love coaching Jordan's soccer. I absolutely love it. I love watching the progress the girls make during the season and watching them grow as a team. It truly is one of the highlights of my year. This year I was lucky enough to coach with another dad and it was so fun. Our green geckos had a great season and ended up finishing third in our year end tournament. I was so proud of our girls.








Nathan had a great soccer season this year. He was obsessed with his team's stats and knew exactly what the score was of every game they played. He scored lots of goals and was also great of defense but the funnest part of watching Nate play is that he NEVER stops running, never. He goes and goes and goes.




Nate also played Blastball again and had a "blast," haha. This little dude just loves to be on a field, any field.



Jordan took hiphop this year with her second cousin Cloe and in May they had a marathon week of dance recitals. I don't think I'm cut out to be a dance mom. That week was insane. Jordan rocked her routine even with a broken arm.


Jordan also ran cross country running in the spring and had her picture in the paper. She's in the top right. There. I think I am caught up with June. Now onto July. We spent the first week of summer in Washington with Jess and had a fantastic time, hopefully pictures to come soon. The kids were in cousin heaven and Jared was in firework heaven. We're having horrible summer weather but are still trying to have fun, big Lee reunion this weekend here in S.A., can't wait!

Yay Jordan! What a big event! I love the black and white flower motive on the Lee ladies. :)
Yes, the weather is atrocious! We should have a playdate.
