September 2008

It's crazy how fast time is flying by. We have been very busy with the boys and all of their sports and it's crazy that it is already September. The boys are loving football season. They are all playing really well. Jordan's JV team is undefeated so far and the Varsity has only lost one game. Go Devils! Coleman's team hasn't lost since their first game. He scored his first touchdown off an interseption last Saturday. I wasn't there to witness it, but he ran 40 yds and was pretty winded by the time he hit the endzone. River is playing great as the quarterback. His team scored a touchdown yesterday as he went down with a sprained hip. He recooperated well and played great again tonight. Jacksen is as talkative as ever. He went on his first field trip last Friday and we had a great time. He loves school and has become quite an artist. He is a funny child and makes us all laugh. As crazy as life is, Jack and I managed to get away last weekend for our anniversary. We had a great time. It's so nice to be so in love and still enjoy eachother's company. We had a nice dinner, walked around and spent time laughing together. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and father to my boys.

August 27, 2008

Just a quick update on the family. Jacksen started his first day of kindergarten today. He was really excited and so was I until I dropped him off and left him for the first time. He had a great day and we both survived. River played his second flag football game tonight and won 20-0 with him making the last touchdown running a quarterback sneak. Coleman played his first tackle football game today. They lost 18-12 and he was pretty upset. He played the whole game as a guard on offensive and a middle linebacker on defense. He was out of the game for one play the whole game. He did an amazing job. Jordan won his first JV game against Lehi (30-6). He played offensive and defensive line. He lost the varsity game (25-16) but it was an awesome game. We love watching the boys play in all their different sports and are really glad to be "back at the field" again.

Jordan

Jordan is a junior this year. He is playing Red Devil Football on the varsity and JV teams. "Go Devils!" He just turned 16 and loves driving the jeep anywhere he can.

Coleman

Coleman is just finishing up with his last year in elementary school. He finally moves to junior high will he won't stand out so much!!! Everyone thinks he belongs in high school because in is our giant. He is 5'10" and out weighs Jack by 20 lbs. He is very, very busy with baseball right now. He is playing with his super league, Mapleton Golden Eagles, and they are doing great. He won the game for them against their rivals with a walk off single (I think that's what it is called!). He started catching this year and loves it. He is also playing city league and winning every game. He loves sports and has been very lucky to be coached by such amazing people.

River

River, River, River, where do I start. He is just finishing his fifth grade year and is thrilled to be out for the summer. He still LOVES to talk in class but is doing really well. He decided not to play baseball this year and try lacrosse instead. He is really excited and thinks he will enjoy it. He started practice last night and will have his first game soon. Let's just hope he keeps that mouth and temper under control! He is growing like a weed. I never thought he would put on any weight but he finally broke 100 pounds. He is such a good boy and keeps us on our toes.

Jacksen

Jacksen just graduated from kindergarten. He is so excited not to have to get up in the morning and I think I'm even more excited not to have to fight that battle for a few months! He is playing coach pitch this year. He is on his uncle Chad's team, the Red Sox, and loves it. He is still our little artist and is always drawing pictures for anyone who will take them. He is such a joy to have in our house.
