Fall is a busy time for our family. I thought it would be fun to do a little weekly synopsis of the family activities to keep everyone in the loop (especially the kids grandparents). First of all, last week Starlee played in 3 tennis matches during the week with her high school team. I think they won 2 and lost 1 (but I can't remember exactly!). She also got asked to Homecoming which will be on October 10. She was asked by Jacob Harper who she got to know on the Church History Tour. She is beyond excited :)!!!! He asked her using a "star light, star bright..." theme and put his name in glow in the dark stars. It was very cute.
This is a picture of Starlee congratulating Skyler on winning his freshman election. He ran for Freshman Representative and won. Now he and Starlee have one class period together (student council). They are so excited to do student council stuff together. I appreciate these two for how they love and take care of each other. Skyler is going to be one lonely boy next year when big sis goes off to college!!! Their relationship is so cute!
Skyler (aka "Big Country", "Big Sky" and "Baby Jacobs") is number 64 on the Centennial Freshman football team. He is the starting center. Last week he was chosen to be team captain. He was honored by that. His team won by making a touchdown in the last seconds to bring the score to 15-8 over Shadow Ridge!!! That was exciting. He also had one of his best buddies get hurt in the game. He went and helped take care of his friend since his mom is a single mom and it was hard for her to move him and dress him etc. It turns out that his injury was a pinched nerve in the neck (very painful) and swelling. We are so glad that he will be okay in a few weeks!
Not a very good picture, but Aspen cheers for Scott's middle school football team. She is on the front row to the left on this picture. She is doing such a great job this year! She is excited to be taking gymnastics and tumbling with her team so that they can improve their skills. She continues to be our little art project girl and is doing really well in school. She cheered Scott's team on to victory 48-7. What fun!
This is Brighton first year playing tackle football. He loves it! He gets up early on game day and starts getting dressed. I had to tell him last week that he might not want to sit around the house for 1 1/2 hours before leaving for the game in his full gear! He thought I was crazy. He wanted to be ready. He plays on the defense and loves trying to tackle the other players. It is so cute to watch. His team pulled out a victory this week as well (14-12). He was thrilled. It would have been a perfect week if BYU could have pulled off a victory as well. Come on Cougs!!!!Well...those are a few of the highlights from last week! We are so busy, but it is so fun. The years go by so quickly that we are just trying to soak it all in while we can. Love to all! More to come next week!!!
