First day of Preschool

My "baby" started preschool last month. My boys are growing up so fast! Owen loves going to school and learning new things. Everyday when he comes home and I ask him what he did at school he says, "played." What could be more fun than that?

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

We are well on our way into the football season and it has been a great one. This is Ryan's first year playing and he has really liked it and learned a lot. Zach learned a lot last year, worked hard and made it on the "A" team this year. Ryan is #22 and Zach is #32. For some reason Zach didn't keep the same # he had last year. I've had to retrain my brain to look for a different #. Both boys are doing great and having lots of fun.

As you can see, we all have fun at the games.

Maybe Jason most of all!

Of course for Zach posing for pictures isn't cool..he just wants to play the game.

Ryan's Baptism

Ryan was baptized the first Saturday in September. It was a special day and also a very hectic day because it happened to be the day of the first football games of the season. The baptism was originally scheduled for 2pm and Ryan's game was at 3pm in Woods Cross, which meant that we wouldn't be able to do both. We gave Ryan the choice to miss his first game and get baptized or play in his game and wait a month to get baptized. He decided he would rather get baptized and miss his first game because as he said "there would be other games." What a good choice! As it turned out the baptism was changed to 1pm which gave us enough time to have Ryan baptized and make it to his game by 3pm. So we went to Zach's first game at 9am in Centerville, came home and had a luncheon with family, went to the baptism and then went back up to Woods Cross for Ryan's game. Like I said it was a hectic day but a good one too. Thank you to all of our family members who came to support Ryan on this special day.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan turned 8 in August. He celebrated by having a late night with a few friends. They had pizza, watched a movie, got Slurpee's and basically just ran around being crazy, so they had a fun time. Ryan gave me a break this year on his cake. He didn't want anything special (like a guitar), just a basic chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. That's an easy request. Happy Birthday Ry, we love you!
