Angela Mystery Reader!
Today, Angela was the Mystery Reader in Zach’s school class. She submitted facts about her, and Zach was right on the ball. He guessed it was her from the first question. 🙂 I guess we’ll have to come up with some stranger facts about us that he doesn’t know… 🙂 She read “Oh the Places

Standards Night!
Tonight, we held our yearly Young Men and Young Women “Standards Night” at the church. It turned out very well. The other counselor in the Bishopric and I split up the youth based on age, and I had all the 12 & 13 year-old youth. We had a great discussion (along with a little video

Zach Night Game
Tonight, Zach’s football team had their only night game and they played the Cowboys. Zach was there, wearing his jersey and hard hat, and cheering his team on! They played really hard and had a great time, but in the end, we lost by one touchdown (I think). 🙂 That’s OK though. In this league

Zach Broken Thumb & Metea Curriculum Night
Well, unfortunately, it turns out Zach’s thumb is broken! 🙁 He will be in a cast for 3 weeks and can’t play football. He is really bummed and sad that he can’t play with his team. He decided he is still going to go to all the practices, help out where he can, and support

Scrimmage with Broncos
Today, Zach got to scrimmage against his old football team from last year (the Broncos). They came over to our field to play and it was fun seeing all the coaches and players from last year. They have matured quite a bit as they don’t have as many kids who are brand new to football.
