Happenings

The night before we went to Arizona Provo High had their green and white game where the team plays each other.  The four of us went to cheer Jonah on.

I can see why so many people like to go to the high school football games every Friday night. It's a fun atmosphere.  I was glad to see all the boys put their hand over their heart during the national anthem.

Jonah was nervous about the game.  He said he stomach was upset during dinner.  I'm so proud of him for putting himself out there like this.  It's not easy to do something new and do it in front of everyone.

I was so nervous for him when the time came for his first kick.  He nailed it with no problem.  I think we all breathed a little easier after that first kick. 

I loved seeing everyone tell him good job as he ran off the field. 

They made another touch down so he got to kick again.  He made that one too.  He went two for two in his first game!

I love the view of the mountains while we watch the game.

I think having his first kicks out of the way helped his nerves a lot.  There is another boy who wants to kick and I asked Jonah why he never kicked and he said he got too nervous. That is one of Jonah's strengths, he will never let fear stop him.  He has told me before that you have to show confidence even if you don't feel confident and eventually you will feel confident.  I admire that because that is not my strength!

Keith sent me a picture of their Sunday dinner while we were gone. He had the kids help make it and they all enjoyed breakfast for dinner.

I didn't realize that Jonah had a football game while we were gone or we would have come home a day earlier.  Luckily I could watch the game online.  Provo killed Grantsville. It was 41-0.  Every few minutes Jonah was back on the field for the extra point.  He made 5 out of 6 of the kicks.  I took a screenshot while I was watching and Keith's text came through.  Jonah did awesome. He was hard on himself about the one he missed, but we kept telling him that 5 out of 6 is great! I'm glad he got so many opportunities in a lower pressure setting.

Keith sent me a picture of them after the game.

Provo High School does Instagram stories to advertise the games. I liked seeing Jonah pop up on my phone.

We went over to mom and dad's to celebrate August birthdays.  I was so glad that Zariyah was happy with me that day.  She is so cute!

The night we got home from Arizona Hallee and Wyatt pulled out all of their Beanie Boos.

Me and Wyatt went to Airborne with Tiff and the kids before school started.  Hallee was feeling dizzy so she stayed home, she was sad to miss it.

Jonah got his student government sweater.  He helped at the Freshman orientation a few days before school started.  

I took Hallee and Wyatt to their back to school nights.  I forgot to take a picture of Wyatt at the Middle School, he was very happy about that.  It was so crowded and hot, so I wasn't thinking straight. We were able to find all of his classes and meet his teachers.  He didn't seem nervous, I was more nervous than he was! I did get a picture of Hallee at her desk.  My baby's last year in Elementary School. She was excited to see so many of her friends are in her class.

Hallee was thrilled that Keith bought her a headband to keep her hair out of the way when she does her skin care routine and some eye masks.

Hallee asked me what my skin care routine was and I told her I wash my face.

She sees these things on YouTube and then wants to go out and buy products.  She had fun showing us her products and telling us about her skincare routine, ha!

I think it is so cute when Jackson plays with his toys.  It's so cute to see him grab it with his paws.
