Kentwood Football At Qwest Field

The Kentwood Football team's first game of the season was played at Qwest field. For those of you outside the Seattle area Qwest is the home field for the Seattle Seahawks. This was Jared's first Varsity game. I think Craig was VERY excited and proud (after all football is his game) that he was suiting up for it. Being able to play at Qwest was a real treat and not something very many kids get the opportunity to do. I think the entire KW fan base came to the game. Our side of the field was a sea of black. As you can see Madison and Chad love to support their team! Go #26!

First Day of School

Back to the grind! Today was the first day back to school for the younger three. Chad is now a senior, Jared is a sophomore, and Madi is a Freshman. It is fun to have them all at Kentwood and in the same school. Luckily seminary doesn't start until tomorrow so they all got to sleep in for another 45 minutes. I love each age and stage we go through. It's hard to believe that the second one will soon be graduating and moving on. It really seems like just yesterday I was wishing I could just have 30 seconds to myself to go to the bathroom alone. We have been blessed with great kids and each one of them brings a unique personality, special talents and gifts to our family. Here's to another good year.

He did it!

Today Michael graduated from Kentwood High School!!! After 13 long years he has accomplished a huge feat. There were days he didn't want to go and others that he thoroughly enjoyed being there. Despite a few warnings for naughty things done (using the remote to mysteriously turn the projector on and off during the teacher's lesson comes to mind) he was a terrific student. He played basketball and soccer, attended dances, cheered at football games, and had fun hanging with his friends. Michael we are all very proud of you!
