Brittany had her final middle school Conference Cross Country meet today at DuPage River Park. There were 20+ schools there competing and she ran her race in just over 16 minutes. That’s a personal best for her and she is getting better and better. It was a beautiful day for the race and the course […]
Tonight Sarah and the other members of the Inaugural Metea Valley Marching Mustangs marching band were honored with a banquet at the school. We had a great dinner of pasta and Italian beef as well as desserts. I guess it was a nice date for us considering it’s our Engagement Anniversary today! 🙂 We watched
Today was a busy day also. We started off with Zach’s soccer game. They lost, but the kids played great and they are getting better and better every week. I love the fact that the most important thing is just to have fun and that the score really doesn’t matter. We got some good pictures,
Today was a VERY busy day! Brittany had a cross country meet after school today at Waubonsie High School. It was for all of the middle schools in the district. It was very cold (down into the low 40s), but she had her best meet so far this year! She came in 17th of about
WOW! It’s hard to believe it! Sarah turned 16 today! It’s amazing how fast time flies! It was just yesterday that we were poor, struggling, college students bathing our little Sarah in our kitchen sink when she was only 3 months old! 🙂 Brittany planned a GREAT surprise party for Sarah! She invited a bunch
Today was Zachary’s first full soccer game. The last 3 weeks have been spent in clinics and scrimmages for the Kindergarten-age kids. The team has become MUCH better since the first week they practiced! 🙂 Zachary’s team won 5-2 and ZACHARY SCORED A GOAL!!! 🙂 He was playing fullback and got the ball. There wasn’t
Brittany had a good run today in the Aurora “City of Lights” tournament with multiple school districts participating. They ran all the 7th and 8th grade girls together. Still Middle School’s 7th grade girls took 1st, 2nd, and 4th overall and beat everyone by a huge margin. Brittany came in 57th of 230 runners. She
Today the high school had it’s official dedication ceremony. I went with Sarah, Kirstyn, and Zachary. They left the decorations up from the dance last night and that added a nice touch! The gym was filled and the program was very nice. The auditorium is not quite finished yet so the gym had to do.
Today was an incredibly busy day! This morning Zachary had soccer practice, and he is doing a little better. The team at least didn’t bunch together like bees around honey, so that is good! 🙂 The head coach wasn’t there, so it fell upon me as assistant coach to get the team practicing the drills.
We finally got the Still Middle School Cross Country Team picture and here it is! The team is much smaller than it was last year due to the fact that Still was split into two middle schools with the high school and boundary changes. Many of her friends from last year are now at the
Zach had soccer practice this morning and then team pictures this afternoon. It’s really fun being their coach, and it is quite humorous too! During the clinic and practice, the expert leader teaches them some things and then we go back and practice. It’s funny to watch them. During the scrimmage part of the clinic,
Tonight we had a church activity (HP Group) going to a Chicago White Sox game! A friend of ours in our ward works for Waste Management and they have a box suite at the park. We hung out, ate food, watched the game, and had a great time! The Sox won 2-0. It wasn’t close
