Today at football practice, Zach got his official Broncos game jersey and the stickers for his helmet. He couldn’t wait to get them on so he could march around the house acting cool! 🙂 It took some time to get the stickers on because they were long and had to be placed just right on […]
School started today! It’s hard to believe how fast the summer went by! It seems like yesterday that the kids came home from their last day of school very excited for a summer full of fun, trips, and rest! 😐 Next thing we know, we’ve returned home from a 2 week vacation to Utah and
Every Monday we have family night together. We sing, have a spiritual lesson, have activities and all kinds of fun stuff. Zachary was in charge tonight. He spent a ton of time over the last week creating a treasure hunt for our family to find the family night treat. He even worked to create “pirate”
Today was an absolute CRAZY day! We had a blast, but it was non-stop! It started with cleaning the church at 7am. We couldn’t do it at any other time, so we were all up at 6 getting ready to go clean. We were there with a couple of other families so the work went
Zach had his ice cream social back at Gombert Elementary today! He is very excited to be in First Grade! He found out who his new teacher is: Mrs. Swanson. She was the Student Council faculty leader when Brittany and Kirstyn were there. She should be very good for him. We hope that she is
Today Kirstyn went to Still for the first time as a new 6th-grader for PAWS (Peer-Assisted something) day (not exactly sure what it stands for). They had all kinds of getting-to-know-you activities, got their locker assignments, met some of the teachers, and she made some new friends. She doesn’t have her schedule yet, but can’t
Today marching band started for Sarah and Brittany! Sarah is excited to be a marching leader again, and Brittany is very excited to be in pit. Even though she plays the violin, they let people with musical ability play with the pit (which they didn’t have last year because the school was so small). She
We got a call on Saturday night from Zachary’s football coach… Zachary’s team name is the Broncos and he practices twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8pm. He is very excited and can’t wait to get out there and play. We have to laugh, because he doesn’t hit very hard at all, and
Today Brittany had her freshman orientation up at Metea High School and both her and Sarah played in the pep band for it. They had a great time! Brittany became even more familiar with the school and found her classrooms. Then came the best part of it for her… THE DANCE! Sarah and her friend
Happy Birthday, Angela! Today we celebrated Angela’s ______ birthday! 🙂 She still looks so young and people can’t believe that we have 5 kids! 🙂
Zach’s second day of football clinic was today and he liked it even more than yesterday. It was MUCH cooler and they actually got to tackle each other. It’s funny to see how hard (or not how hard) they hit each other. We have to laugh at how tentative the boys are… All the boys
Today was the first day of the “Hitters” clinic for football. Zachary was so excited to go all day and couldn’t wait until he could go. He got dressed up in his football pads and such 2 hours before it was time to go, and we had to get him undressed so he wouldn’t spill
