Running and Friends

We've had a fun and busy week.  Evelyn keeps super busy with Marching Band stuff.  Between rehearsals and football games and competitions, she is gone a lot and some days I hardly see her at all.  But she is growing up and loving marching band and loving the time with friends.  

David loves playing with his friends after school each day.  One of his good friends is Paxton and they were having a blast together Tuesday and we got this cute picture, then David invited him over to play and have pizza with us.  Tuesday we were supposed to have a game with the water polo team, but the other team had to cancel, so instead, we scrimmaged on Monday and recorded it, then on Tuesday we watched it while we ate pizza and popcorn.  It was a fun evening, and considering that we had to adjust and plan it out last minute, I think it went well and was valuable for the kids.  Tuesday evening, after the team practice, I was able to go to masters which was fun - but numbers are still low.  :( 

Thursday, we had a game against Westview.  The boys lost - though, no one got rolled this game, so that was better at least.  Their girls had to forfeit since they only had 6 players, but we still played them 5 on 5.  The girls won, by a lot, even with me handicapping them.  Westview must have been down some key players, but the girls came out hyped after finally winning a game.  They played well and did a good job with the stuff we had practiced.  

Friday was David's Cougar Run.  Dan and I went and watched him.  He was so cute - he did a great job and loved getting to high-five us as he ran past on each lap.  He especially loved when he realized that he could dump the water cups on his head to cool off.  :) 

Friday night, Dan taught the kids about putting on the armor of God and David got dressed up in aluminium foil armor.  It was cute and he loved it! 

David and I spent our morning playing together.  In the afternoon, Anna and I went down to Salem for our rehearsal for Peter the Rock.  We gave one of the other Altos a ride down and we stopped in at In N Out Burger for dinner on the way. :)  

We got back after just in time to leave for Open Polo.  A bunch of the Mountainside kids showed up which was a lot of fun, and there were enough people there to have subs, but not so many that we hardly got to play.  It was a fun evening!  

David got ready for church and wanted to put gel in his hair to look handsome.  Then, of course, he needed his picture taken.  

When I walked into church, the Sister missionaries were there and we I was twinning with one of them!  They later came over for dinner and so we snapped this cute twin picture! 

Church today was wonderful - especially the fast and testimony meeting.  Then choir was great and after that, Evelyn went to get her patriarchial blessing.  It was a wonderful experience that was just amazing for all of us.  She is such an amazing person and it was so personal and powerful!  After dinner, Sandi and James came over with Taz and Kai for treats and games.  We had a fun time playing Love Letter and Skull King.
