Cambria, Jeff and Bryan had bought me tickets to Kansas to go and see Cecilee for my birthday!
I was soooo excited I could hardly contain myself!
My first view of Kansas, I was soooo excited I couldn't wait to hug my girl!!!

My first view of Kansas, I was soooo excited I couldn't wait to hug my girl!!!
It was a 2 hour flight and the seats were pretty comfortable, we flew Alligient.
I had contacted Cecilee's roommate and let her know that we were coming into town and wanted to surprise Cecilee.
She and a bunch of girlfriends were going to dinner to a mexican restaurant and so we decided to surprise her there. She told Cecilee that her boyfriend was coming into town with a friend and he was going to meet them at dinner. Cecilee kept saying, "Your boyfriend had better know what he wants to order when he gets here because I am starving!!!"
Katelyn came and met us outside and we walked in with her.
Cecilee was eating chips and salsa and was in midstream of dipping her chip when she saw me.
She said, "Mom, Mom, Mom!" and starred like she couldn't believe it and then ran to me and hugged me and bawled like a baby. She wouldn't let go of me, of course I was crying and everyone at the table was crying. Then she saw Bryan and she ran to him and hugged him.
It was the best surprise ever!!!
She kept saying, "I can't believe you guys are here!"
During dinner Cecilee and her friends had them sing, "Happy Birthday " To me
and after they sang they pie'd me in the face. (NOT HAPPY!)
Cecilee said, "Mom don't be a DIVA!"
Totally did not expect to have cream all smashed in my face in a packed restaurant.
Cecilee and all of the girls who were at dinner
Carolina,Katelyn, Cecilee, Ruthie, Mariana, ?
After dinner we went back to her dorm room to see it.
She had a bunch of pictures on her closet door.
Cecilee and her roommate!!!
She loves her and they are silly!!
When we left they all walked us out.
Emmanuel, Angel (Rhino), Katelyn and Cecilee
Our cute girl excited to come with us to breakfast!!!
She came running out of her dorm as if she were on a game show!!
"Come On Down, Your the next contestant..."
The next morning we went back to pick Cecilee up for breakfast and got to see Barton in the daylight.
At breakfast, Cecilee told us that Friday at practice she played the field because the coach didn't want goalies. Then she proceeded to tell us, "Mom, I dominated!!! the field! I'm not bragging but I know my coach saw that I could help on the field" She said that he didn't say anything at practice but she could tell by the look on his face and all of the girls were saying, "Cecilee, why don't you play field? Goalies usually don't have that kind of footwork." She loved practice that day, so she said we will see what happens in this game today.
We took he shopping after breakfast to get food, jacket and a chair and umbrella for us to watch the game.
It was so wonderful to spend that time with just her and focus all on our Cec-So-Sweet!!
Here is Cecilee and her roommate ready for the game and heading to the field.
This is the view of the field from the parking lot.
You see those clouds?
We got lots of rain!!
Cecilee warming up with her team
Running and doing stretches
Then she went to warm up doing strickly GOALIE warmups.
These are the programs for every single game.
Every game they have the college that they are playing, the stats and the team rosters for both teams. And their ranking.
Cecilee during the game made a number of saves, but there were alot of PC's that
this certain girl from the other team scored.
She had that kick mastered, barely under the crossbar-skimming the net and a little too high for Cec to get.
So they were down at halftime 1-4
The mascot cheering on the girls and the parents
Before the game started the guy that posts on facebook the updates of Barton's games, thought he saw something on facebook about me being in town. He asked Cecilee if her mom was in town and when she said yes, he said, "I have to go over and meet our #1 cheerleader from Utah and on Facebook!"
He came over and met us and while visiting he mentioned that the coach might play Cecilee on the field today.
So after the first half I saw the girls go to their circle to listen to their coach and didn't see Cecilee, then I saw her come from the tent and she was in a white uniform.
He is really going to play her on the field.
Well the game started and Cecilee was out there.
She played AWESOME!!!
She brings an intensity to the field like no other!!!
She shutdown that girl and kept her from scoring again.
I could tell that she was quite winded but her adrenaline kept her playing hard!
Cecilee played the whole 2nd half on the field except for 10 minutes.
She took a girl out with a concussion and that's when her coach felt like he needed to give Cec a break.
The girl didn't realize that Cecilee is a brickwall.
She almost had 2 goals, but she had a few assists.
The final score was 7-4 we won!!!
Cecilee definately was the game changer according to the coach and the boys soccer team!
During the boys game it started raining and the clouds rolled in and a Tornado Warning was sounded.
OMG are you serious, I am going to experience all of KANSAS?
Cecilee and I under the umbrella we bought earlier.
Cecilee's Coach, Aaron Avila very good guy who knows his sport!!
This was Sunday, we went to church and then brought her back to her dorm before we left for the airport. It was a 2 hour drive from Wichita, Kansas.
Our last picture with Cec!!!
I didn't even cry, I could see how much she was loved by her ward, her teammates, her friends, & roommate and that she is happy!!!
My last picture of my girl!!!
The view from her parking lot, yes in the middle of cornfields!!!
Good Bye Barton, take care of my daughter!!
