Nick turns 11

Nick is the birthday boy today!  He is 11 years old.  He is one of the oldest in his grade because his birthday is Sept 3, and the cut off was Aug 31.  So, he is one of the first to have a birthday.  Nick also had football.  Football trumps all at our house.  He went to his scrimmage, and did great.  Then we came home and had pizza, opened presents and had cake and presents.  He also took some treats to school and popsicles to football for his Birthday.  Popsicles at Football are really a hit.  They were the good kind from Paces.  The only one that didn't want one was Joey Cook and he isn't from Bountiful so he didn't realize the Paces popsicle...

Nick is a good boy.  He does well in school, and is responsible for doing his homework.  He loves legos, pringles, and football.  He is one that is content doing most anything.

Snow College for Brooke

Brooke decided to go to Snow College.  It is in Ephram.  Which is a rather small town.  The directions say, when you get to the stop light, turn left.  That's how you get to Snow.  Turn left at the light.  She is living with 6 girls, two she knows from Bountiful.  Hailey Call, and Tabitha Turner.  The other 3 are new.  She is super excited that she is moving out and spending time away from home.  She is taking about 18 hours which is a lot.  She also has a scholarship which is super cool.  It was fun to take her down and see her apartment and shop for stuff that she needed.  Its not like we did not already shop for stuff she needed, but we needed more and had to go to the Walmart.  The football stadium is smaller than our high school in Bountiful.  But hey, that's part of the fun being small town when you think you are city slicker.  It will be great!

2014 football against Olympus

Jack's first football game against Olympus was Fabulous.  they won like 14-0.  I don't care about the score much but grandpa always asks what it is...Jack played terrific.  He is a lineman, or noseguard I think.  Such a great game and great coaches.  Jack gave it his all.  He ALMOST got the quarterback. He had a hold of him and the quarterback got the ball handed off as he was going down!  I'll try to get that on film next time.  I did get one of Andrew's sac's on camera.  He even got hurt.  I did get some pics of him hurt and and on the ground! His mother didn't even have to go out on the field and help her chilly Jack.

Love me some FB.  Its all we do at our house during football.  He can't get baptized for a while because of football.  He was 8 in June but he is waiting for Andrew to Baptize him.  And now, we have to wait for the football Schedule to fit in with baptism.  Maybe we don't have our priorities straight.  Now that's hard to believe!

Melanie's children

My sister, Melanie, died 8 years ago.  It was a sad death. She was like 43 and left 2 young boys.  They were like 8 and 5.  Christopher and Denver Jenkins. Melanie was in the process of getting divorced from Hunter Jenkins, her husband.  He got the kids of course, and moved to Arkansas.  He was from there.  I need to wrote a post about Melanie.  But as I was looking at pics that Brooke has, I found these pics of their trip to Utah in 2012 I think two years ago.  They are such cute boys.  We miss them soo much.  And wish they lived closer to us

Swimming with the Fam

Jack's Injury

Nick and Jack fight non stop.  So, Jack bugs Nick constantly.  Nick bugs Jack.  So finally Nick had had enough so he threw a water jug at Jack.  This is the result.  He totally looks like he is miserable.  He was just fine, but looks like he is dying in this pic. 

 

 

It was a HUGE bruise on his forehead and swelling.  It turned his eye black and blue. 

 

He looks like he is dying, but he is not.  He had to shut his eye so you could see the black and blue.
