Our Soccer Star


Rylan started a new season of soccer in September. He loves soccer and it is a perfect fit for his active lifestyle. He came up with his team name, "the Killer Bees" and the rest of the kids loved it. I swear he never gets tired and the coach has to tell him to take a break, or else he would play the whole game! He is a great defensive player, with his great sprinting skills he can speed up to the opposing team who is making a break towards the goal and steal the ball away from them. Offensively he has yet to really grasp keeping the ball and dibbling down to score. If he is in the right place at the right time by the goal he can score, but as far as taking the initiative to do it on his own, he isn't quite there yet.


He is learning to be tough, during one game a ball hit him square in the chest
-HARD-! He kept playing and when he ran past me next he said, "mom, did you see that, I got hit with that ball bad and it didn't even HURT!" I love it when he tries to talk to me while he is playing! He does this thing where he fake slides onto the ground if he is going after a ball or if someone just scored, it made Scott and me laugh so hard, he gets way into it and pretends to fall so it looks like he is playing hard! Our little boy, we were very proud of his sportsmanship,indurance, and his ability to work with his team. When someone on his team got hurt he was always the first to ask if they were ok. Great job Rylan, we can't wait for your spring season!

I must say, killer bees ARE awesome! I remember when Thresa laughed so hard at my high school mascot (also the bees), but I got a turn when she told me hers had been a rooster. At least bees can sting you! I always run away from them!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
