So far, this has been an interesting month. Jacob has had football practice every week day since the 4th. he isn't so sure about this decision to play football, but he is sticking with it pretty well. He is the youngest player on the team, so it is rough on him. He has a lot of battle scars and I don't think that he has ever done anything this hard.
Last week, Madalynn had open house at her middle school. I had asked Aaron if he could take Jacob to practice so that I could take her. He said that he would when he got back to work. Unfortunately, he never made it to work because he was in an accident on the I-17 and his car was totaled. He wasn't hurt and neither was anyone else, but he was devastated by the loss of his car. Thankfully, he had comprehensive insurance on the car, so he will get money for another car. It is a blessing that he was still able to come home and use my car to get Jacob to practice and Tyler took Madalynn and I to her open house. It is wonderful to see the Lord's blessings in our lives, even in the midst of trials.
The kids have started school. So far it is going well for them, Jacob scored very high on his AIMS scores. Madalynn's haven't come yet, but I did hear the last years 6th grade scored very well. She really likes the pricipal at her middle school and she has begun making new friends as well as seeing her old ones. Jacob was elected class representative to student council.
Aaron and Tyler start school on the 25th. Tyler is going to GCC for a semester and then he has decided to go to BYU in the winter. Aaron only has about a year left until he graduates.
Glen is rebuilding the engine on the DUrango and I am waiting for the subbing jobs to start rolling in. I am looking forward to next week when Jacob's football practice goes down to 3 days per week and then to two.
After all of this, we decided that we needed a little vacation, sort of a last hurrah of the summer, so we are going to drive up to Provo for Labor Day Weekend and visit the girls.
