Tough break
I was reporting to my co-workers that Eric had broken his RIGHT hand at his football game on Saturday. He was tackling someone on defense when he landed on it. When they learned that Eric plays QB and D-line, one man asked, "What kind of a coach puts his QB on the defensive line?" I was laughing so hard, I almost couldn't answer. (Steve, Eric's coach, is this man's boss.)
His entire palm is black & blue and the top of his hand is swollen making his hand look "cartoon like" and puffy. Eric's break is very minor, and doesn't require surgery. He should be out of his cast in about 5 weeks. He can still play defense (with padding on his cast, so he can't use it as a weapon) but his pass throwing days are over.
When Lauren broke her hand we didn't even take her to the Dr. for 3 days. She didn't swell and was only a little bruised. After surgery to put in 9 screws, she was back to top form.
I guess that just proves girls are tougher than boys. ;)

Fall Sports
We are in the thick of our fall season sports. Theo is back to coaching cross-country at the high school, so he is gone every weekend from now through mid-November. Drake is running cross-country at the middle school with Mark Lomeland (it is great as Drake had known him since infancy). Drake was not super excited to join the team, but has actually been having a really good time. We are still waiting for that competitive fire to ignite within him once he realizes he has some serious genetic wheels! At the very least he is learning about pushing himself and about working hard. He has had one meet in Kayenta just over a week ago. He was at the back of the pack, but he ran the whole two miles without stopping. He has set a goal to improve each race.
Corbin is playing soccer again this year and has moved up to the next age group. He is liking his coach who is actually a kid in our ward that plays for the high school team. They look like they will be pretty competitive. Bowen and Rex are being spectators for their big brothers for now as I can only be in so many places at once. We still have scouts and young women and all kinds of life stuff to work around. I am just glad that my kids have the chance to participate in some great sports. I learned a lot in the sports that I participated in as a kid. It is such a great way to build work ethic and a sense of sportsmanship.
Modern Conveniences
With the latest stage of our addition completed all I can say is...HALLELUJAH! Over the Labor day weekend we made a trip to St. George to purchase cabinets and a sink for our laundry room. Theo spent that Monday putting them in with the help of a very generous neighbor. The following week we had a plummer come and hook up all the pipes. I now have a functional laundry room for the first time in 9 months! I can honestly say I will not be missing the laundermat. Thank goodness for modern conveniences!!!
Thanks, thanks!
I loved the video conference! It was fun to see everyone's face. I can't believe how much older some of our grand children look. It make my birthday one to remember! Thanks so very much. We love all of you and you are always in our prayers.
Love,
Grandma

Eric is back!
After a five year break, Eric has decided to try football again. He is playing QB and defensive tackle. (Football fans will know those positions don't usually match up... Eric is one tough lineman!)
