VERY Busy Day!

Today, Zach had his last football game and was kind-of sad that it is over.  Like the rest, they lost, but he had some great blocks!  He played both Center and on the line today. They kept getting better and better each week.  If they had about 6-8 weeks more of games, they might actually […]

Brittany’s Orchestra Concert

Tonight, Brittany had her first orchestra concert at Metea.  Angela took Kirstyn and went.  Sarah attended her Young Women activity, and I went with Ben to Zach’s football practice.  It just seems like every activity we have, we are conflicted with many other things we need to do as well.  It’s just crazy. Brittany did

Football and Gatorthon

Today, Zach was really busy!  He had an early football game and had a TON of fun, even though his team lost again.  🙁  He played on the offensive line today and had to go against a really big kid that I swear is not in first grade.  We were joking that maybe he is

Band Concert and Temple Trip

Today was a busy day that took us in all different directions!  Angela took Zach to football practice, then dropped Brittany off at the church for our semi-annual youth temple trip.   She was very excited.  I was bummed that I wouldn’t be able to go this time.  While Angela had Zach at practice and was

Funeral, Picnic, Football, Party…

Today was a crazy day.  We got up early, got ready, and went to the funeral of our friend.  The services were very positive, and the priest gave many encouraging words to the family.  This is the first funeral mass that any of our daughters had been to so they were a little confused as

Visitation for a Friend

Tonight we attended the visitation for our friend, Lonny Greenwald.  Sarah went over and spent the whole time with her friend, trying to comfort and help her out.  When we got there, we saw many other people that we knew and also met some that we didn’t know before.  Their neighborhood (near ours) is so
