book review

So we've started a new tradition this year of me reading a little to the kids from a chapter book every night after scriptures. I consider it a success since we've had far less children dozing off during scriptures, and I haven't had to read a barbie book to Lena in probably two weeks.
Anyway just finished our second book, Bullies in the Headlights, by Matthew Buckley. We all loved this book! It had us laughing out loud more than a few times. It's written from an eight year old boy's point of view. So funny! So much to relate to if you grew up in a large mormon family. It also has a great message to it that doesn't come across cheesy. My kids were glued every night!

Tiger Power


Jack's 1st football game! Jack was the first and last player to touch the ball during his football game on Saturday. Jack tried out for kicker earlier this week and was exited to start the game kicking off. During the game Jack made some great touchdown saving tackles on defense as he played cornerback. A few of the tackles were made after running all the way across the field to the opposite side. Jack is quick!
On offense Jack is a wide receiver, but on the last play of the game he got a chance to play running back. The quarterback handed Jack the ball and he ran around the end breaking a few tackles and getting some good blocks. Jack emerged from the pack and was off to the races. He ran about 60 yards for the score as time expired.
