Now that I have made my background much more festive, don't you think it is about time I updated the blog?? Well, I have been busily working on Christmas projects with my favorite neighbor, Ashley, and am actually shocked that I am even typing this. I PROMISE I will update it soon.......more to come!!
We are so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors. Since the day we moved in our house, Taylor has taken to our neighbor, Debbie. They hang out together all the time, whether it be having picnics, planting flowers, and just hanging out....they are buddies. We all were so happy when she told us that she was finally getting married, and Taylor counted down the days until the "party". I know I had a previous post about the wedding but I had to post these new pictures....I love how they show their special friendship!!
I hope you enjoy the updates....there are a ton of them!! I hadn't blogged anything for 3 weeks and today was the day for catch up!!
Well, just a quick update on what has been going on with the Fassler family. Well, aside from RSL games and holidays there have been lots of changes in our lives. Adam's company is on the up-swing...finally!! It looks like things are heading in the right direction, which takes the weight of the world off my shoulders. Impact soccer is over for the fall season. Both kids did great!! In Taylor's last 2 games, she scored 3 goals and played like a star!! Cole scored 8 goals in his last game, and 19 for the whole season. Pretty amazing!! We are hoping to get to watch him in the MLS playoffs some day. The biggest changes has been with Adam's parents. We have spent the last week moving them out of the house they have lived in the 32 years. It has come to the point that the house they were in was just way too much for them. The pool had tons of daily maintenance, the yard was a lot of work, and there were going to be some major repairs in the near future that were just going to be too much for my father in law, George, to handle on his own. So they are selling their house, and moving into a rental for a few years. It has been really hard on all of us...especially on Sharon. Though their house hasn't sold yet, they had to be out so that they could show it for sale. They both didn't want to be there while people were browsing "their home". Other than all of that, it has been life as usual. I am still at the school, trying to decide what exactly I want to do with my "working" life. The kids are both starting gymnastics for the winter, and are looking forward to the snow. Me not so much but that is part of living in this lovely state. Cole would ski every day if he could so he is DYING for the school ski program to start. So that is about it!! I am going to try to be better about keeping this thing updated...sorry I have been such a slacker!!
We were so excited to have Real Salt Lake in the playoffs this year...especially because the first game was on our home turf at Rio Tinto Stadium. Here's how the playoffs work...each series plays a 2 game series which is not based on who wins but the number of goals scored. Well, as of now RSL is up one goal!! Yura Movsisiyan scored the only goal of the game in the 89th minute which put RSL ahead in the series!! Now we head to Chivas USA for game 2. Even if you are not a fan, keep your fingers crossed!! This has been an amazing year for this team, and we are so excited!!

Sometimes we all take pictures just for the fun of it....the kids being silly, just a cute moment, and posing for the camera. Well, here are a few of those that I had to share. Taylor is so into posing for the camera and having her picture taken that it is so much fun!! ENJOY!!
Cole is so lucky to have such great grandparents. Cole has always wanted to go to an away game and watch RSL play. Well, he was chomping at the bit to go to the RSL vs. Colorado game. It was such a big game for RSL....if they tie they make it to the playoffs AND win the Rocky Mountain Cup for a 2nd year. So, on Saturday morning...3:00 a.m....they loaded up in the car to make the trip to Colorado. Cole could hardly stand it. Since Grandma & Grandpa work for RSL and the Colorado team LOVES them, they not only got their room paid for but were given all access passes to the game at Dick's Sporting Goods Stadium. Well, with a goal by Yura Movsisiyan in the 90th minute, RSL tied the game!! It was a total nail biter. After the game, Cole got to hang out with all the RSL players and staff and celebrate their victory. He told me it was the best night EVER!!! He got plenty of pictures with players, and even got to bring the actual Rocky Mountain Cup home for the night. O.K....that was because they couldn't get it home on the plane so they asked George and Sharon to bring it back to Salt Lake with them but Cole was so excited. What an awesome weekend for an awesome kid!! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa.....and RSL!!!
