Tonight, Brittany had her fall Orchestra concert and it was awesome! They played some pretty difficult pieces. We really love the Metea auditorium. It has great acoustics. They really put a lot of work in to designing it well. It also helped that we have extra babysitters to stay at home with the boys so […]
Tonight, Sarah had her fall band concert at Metea in the auditorium. She did a GREAT job playing her flute and piccolo. It’s really cool that she was asked to play both in the concerts. They played some really nice music. At this level, they play more than just typical marches that you would expect
Today was a fun day. Although Zach’s team lost, they played the Broncos (Zach’s old team from last year). It was fun to see all the kids he played with last year, as well as Coach Tim and the other coaches. Tonight, we had our Stake Roadshow performances at the Naperville Stake Center. It was
Tonight was a pretty busy night. Football practice was moved from last night to tonight and Zach and his team scrimmaged against the Steelers at their park. Zach did well. He was very excited to play a game with his cast and club off! 🙂 Everybody was excited to see him “castless” as well. 🙂
Today was a VERY exciting day! First, Zach got his cast off! He is sooooo excited! He can’t wait until tomorrow’s football game so he can play without his club! 🙂 Tonight, Sarah and Angela went to a meeting with Utah State University to learn more about their programs and to see what kind of
Happy 18th birthday today, Sarah! Where has the time gone! I don’t think that it’s really sunk in yet for Sarah either that she is now officially an “adult.” 🙂 We had a fun day today. Sarah opened her presents and per her request, we had cheesecake. 🙂 Today we just hung out and celebrated
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”
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
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
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
