Steven/Shannon

Hi everyone;

 

Just checking in with everyone to give you the news of our family.  This past week was stacked full of kid activities including Jamie’s last lacrosse game at Olympus.  She played varsity and JV.  We spent 4 hours cheering for Woods Cross.  I have to say it’s been really fun watching Jamie widen her circle of friends to nearby high schools.  Girls on the Woods Cross lacrosse team are from Viewmont, Layton, Davis, Bountiful, and Woods Cross high. I’ve included pictures of Jamie at the lacrosse game with her friend Whitney Hyde.  And Tyler/David/Jordan riding their rip-sticks on the top row of bleachers at the lacrosse game.  Oh, and Allyse riding a rip-stick in 4 in heels.  That’s pretty amazing!

 

 Tyler’s team won again yesterday. He kicked a curve kick from the left side of the field right past the goalie and into the corner of the net.  It was poetry in motion. 

 

Shannon was asked to speak in church for Mother’s day.  It’s been pretty chilly around here because she isn’t really feel enamored with the idea of speaking about motherhood.  Anyway, I’ve offered to have the kids write her talk or throw together some quotes off the internet;-)   (later)  Dan and Jill came over for dinner. We had a great time eating ham and rice.  Then Frank and Melissa came over with their little baby.  He looks like a Gerber baby.  Very cute.  Anyway, that’s all we did for the week.  We had stake conference and Pres Eyring and Elder Bednar spoke.  What a great set of talks.  The message was very encouraging for us to keep on doing the small things every day to reach the celestial kingdom.
