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.
