Well needless to say I have been a slacker blogger at best. Alot has happened since my last post, and it's hard to believe that we only have one month of summer left before school starts up again. The Rodgers crew has been pretty busy since school got out. Seth, Matt, and Megan had baseball games until about the second week of June,and then we had trackmeets everyweekend for the rest of June for Seth. For those of you who I haven't talked to in awhile, Seth ran the 50m and 100m at district, and fell on his 50m, but took 2nd place in the 100m losing a close race by 100th's of a second. He decided to try out for the county relay team for region and state. He had to compete against about 18 boys in his age group all of them top runners from district. He made their A team with 3 other boys from local schools in our area and who he raced against in the 100m at district. They are all really fast runners! We went to Richfield for the region meet where Seth was to run the 100m and the 4x100 relay with his team. He unfortunately, got disqualified for false starting on the 100m individual race. He was devastated, and it was heart breaking for Rich and I as well. His relay team won at region and then went on to win again convincingly at the state trackmeet. We also let him run in the Utah Summer Games for the first time, he ran the 100m and 200m and won a bronze medal in both of his races. My nephew Josh also raced and did really good as well, coming in 4th and 5th in his races. It was fun for the both of them! We just got a phone call the other day telling us that Seth's relay team will be going to Pennsylvania for the National Hershey Trackmeet at the end of this month. Their team had to beat the best relay times from all the Western States to be qualified to go to Hershey's and they did it! Seth is way excited about it, but because they don't allow parents to travel or stay with the athletes, I am a bit nervous to send Seth my 10 year old back to Pennsylvania by himself without mom and dad and with chaperones I haven't met before. Rich and I are planning to fly out and be part of the events for Seth, we just will get limited time with him while we are over there. It will be interesting to see how it all goes. Other exciting news that I hadn't posted about yet, was Rich's mom got remarried to a wonderful guy named John Rich. They got married on June 12. We are really happy for her. It's kind of funny his last name is Rich, and the kids have to get used to not calling her Grandma Rodgers anymore, but Grandma Gloria works good too. Mom and John both love their eternal companions dearly, but until they are reunited with them on the other side, it is comforting to know that mom and John can enjoy companionship together in this life. Welcome to the family John we love you!!! I hope all of you are enjoying your summer in the Hot Hot weather. We have been to my parents cabin quite a bit already this summer, and we also set up our big swimming pool in the backyard, the kids are swimming everyday to cool off from this heat. I will have to post some pics of our cabin and swimming days on another post. TA TA for now!
