More news from home

Well, tomorrow (Wednesday 9/30) is the day, 9:30 am Meghan will have her ACL Replaced.  Anxious, nervous, and a little scared.  I’ll have my cell phone with me if you want to call, scheduled 90 minutes to 2 hours just in case.

*She tore it at soccer practice while Ryan, Cheri and the boys were at the Fair. Kraig was also at the fair when Ryan called - they drove together to pick up Meghan. She will not play for the rest of soccer season - the team will miss her. She's an excellent player!
 
 
Rozann/Steven update:
Hello there,

Thought I would send out a note letting you know what we’re up to.

Steve: busy with work, coaching football, completing church responsibilities, taking another exam which is to be finished by this Saturday, researching road bikes in hopes of buying one, viewing YouTube videos about barefoot skiing, and more.

Rozann: busy with the office and various tasks there, keeping up with kids’ homework and sports schedules, planning cub scouts for the 8 and 9 year olds, canning over 100 quarts of peaches, organizing a super craft day, and trying to find the handbook for parenting.  J

Tanner: life revolves around football.  In his words, “play football, eat, sleep, and repeat.”  His afterschool conversation consists of the great plays, interceptions, or touchdowns he made during recess football games.  He also plays on the Pop Warner 7-10 year-old team.  They played their 4th game this last Saturday—they play on the high school football field (when they play at home).  They tied 13-13.  He plays cornerback on defense and tackle on offense.  He is gaining confidence in tackling.  He’s anxious to catch the ball or run the ball but hasn’t convinced the coaches that he can do that yet.  If he could forget everything else in life and just play sports, he would be happy.

Brianna: recently told me that her favorite two words are “read” and “book”.  Like Tanner, she is taking piano lessons and doing very well.  She is playing soccer this season, and is one of the oldest on the team.  In their first game she didn’t score any goals and the team got beat pretty badly.  In the second game, she did score a goal and afterwards told her coach, “Do you know why I scored a goal?”  Her coach (a friend of ours) was prepping herself, expecting to hear praise for her good coaching skills.  Brianna’s response: “Because I practiced with my dad.”  J

Ashley: is doing well in first grade and is good about doing her homework and reading each day to me.  Steve challenged the kids to read their scriptures 5 minutes a day, so she reads the Book of Mormon Stories to me each morning as I get lunches ready.  She is learning the Spalding phonemes, which really helps in sounding out bigger words.  She is also playing soccer on the same team as Brianna.

Shay: keeps everyone in line, often saying “Mommy sit” when I pour my bowl of cereal or “Mommy’s turn” when I need to do the same thing as her.  She’s learned to scream real well when one of her siblings is trying to take something from her, but is usually very easy going and content.  She waves from her car seat to the older three as we drop them off at school and yells their name in glee as we pick them up.  I am afraid I am doing something wrong when she climbs up on my bed, relaxes against a pillow, and says, “Tee Tee, Mommy?” … meaning she wants to watch TV.  She loves to take a shower and often tries to pull off her clothes so she can get in when I’m showering, and she loves to play outside and “jump, jump” on the trampoline.  Today in church I was holding her in my arms rocking her, when she pointed up to my nose and repeated over and over, “booger in yu nose.”  Luckily she was talking very quietly, and she had a pacifier in her mouth.  You can be sure that I checked to see if she knew what she was talking about … not quite sure.

Anyway, this is what keeps each of us busy every week with a few variations here and there.  Hope all is well in your family.

Love,
Rozann and family
