Today, Sarah had her senior photo shoot! The pictures turned out SO cute! We are going to have a hard time picking out the ones we want for the package. Here are just a couple… Fortunately, we are going to get all of the pictures on a CD that we can then use for our […]
This week, Zach was captain of the football team. Today, Zach got to go out on the field with his club for the coin toss, and he was pretty excited. After the game, we got cleaned up and went to Sarah’s and Brittany’s Elvis Tribute Concert at Metea. The Marching Band performed with a live
Welcome to October! 🙂 Today was a pretty busy day for everybody in the family. In addition to General Conference and watching all the sessions, we had Zach’s football game and Metea’s Marching Band went to Northern Illinois University to perform an exhibition performance. Zach had a lot of fun during his game. We “clubbed”
Metea got cremated tonight at the football game, but the marching band did GREAT!
Today, Ben started preschool and he loves it! He loves to be with kids and get to know new friends. He also loves doing activities and such! We couldn’t get him in the Waubonsie or Metea preschool programs (Sarah may have ended up being one of his teachers) so we enrolled him in the Park
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
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
Happy Labor Day! today, we only had the boys with us during the Labor Day Parade! Sarah and Brittany marched with the Metea Marching Mustangs, and Kirstyn participated with Anderson’s Bookstore. Sarah and Brittany looked very professional as did the rest of the band! We caught Brittany at a moment of smiling which was kind-of
Tonight was the first home football game of the year and more importantly, the first marching band performance! The girls did a GREAT job! Their Elvis show is really coming together and they sound great! The group finally has enough band members that instead of doing a single file “MV” on the field, they are
School started today! It’s hard to believe that we now have a Senior in High School, a Sophomore in High School, and a Middle Schooler, along with one in Elementary! I think Ben is actually pretty excited to get mom all to himself now. Sarah and Brittany took off first this morning, but not with
Today was a pretty busy day! This morning, we had a Marching Band parent meeting. After that, we were supposed to have the parent “fundies” drills and parent preview out on the football field. Unfortunately, while we were in the parent meeting, a huge thunderstorm hit, making going outside impossible. So, the kids stood on
Today was Angela’s 29th birthday! 🙂 We so many things going on that we really didn’t even have time to celebrate much, of which we feel really bad. We had a great day, though! Sarah was gone all day to a Marching Band leadership camp. They went canoeing down the fox river for a couple
