Zach New Cast!

Aaaarrrrgh!  Zach went to the doctor today and the guy put a new cast on him for another 2 WEEKS! He “didn’t” say anything about not playing football, so we’re not going to ask…  🙂 Zach was pretty bummed (although laughing in the picture above with his old cast on his other arm), but we […]

Youth Temple Trip

Tonight we went up to the temple with all of our young men and young women to do baptisms.  We had about 360 names that we needed to complete and got all of them but about 10 completed!  The kids were so excited because all the names came from the work that members of our

Zach Football Game and Tailgate

Today, Zach’s team played the Falcons.  They were undefeated and still are.  🙂  Our guys played hard and Zach wished he could play.  In less than a week, he will have his cast off and be able to get out and hit someone!  🙂 After the game, we had our team tailgate party!  It was

Ben Starts Preschool and Tri-M Induction!

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

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

Ward Temple Night

Tonight, Angela and I went up to the temple for our monthly Ward Temple Night.  We took some more of Tracy Raketic’s family names and did work for them.  We’re really excited, because in a couple of weeks, the youth are going up to do baptisms and we have about 360 names to do (including

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’s First Football Game of Season

Today was Zach’s first football game of the season.  Unfortunately, he couldn’t play because of his broken thumb (still not sure I agree with the Doctor).  🙁  He dressed up in full uniform, however because before the game, they had pictures.  I’ll post the team and individual picture when we get them. Although he didn’t

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

Football Scrimmage with Steelers

Tonight, our Packers scrimmaged the Steelers.  Zach’s hand is really hurting but he played great!  This is his week for playing running back and he was excited!  I also got a Packers jersey so Zach and I can match!  🙂 Toward the end of the scrimmage, he had to ask the coach to put him
