First Football Game

I had to add this picture since this is my worst fear. They are NOT coming for anyone on our team, this was from the game before, but it doesn't make me feel any better. Alan didn't want me to take a picture, but I said that I had to express my fears this way.




Zac turned right as I took the shot, this is my favorite!

Zac is playing football this year instead of Fall Ball. It took me by surprise when he came home from practice and announced he like it a lot better than baseball. This sport was hard for me to accept since I am afraid of the hurt factor. I am getting better, there is so much action and so many boys in each play that it is hard to notice who is getting hit, that is a plus for me. He did a great job, it is definatly funner to watch than baseball. Go Bingham Bantams!!! Zac #46! We won 20-0!!!!!

It is never dull!

True to character I am upset again with my builder. Many of you know that we have had all sorts of stupid problems and lousy subcontractors come work on our home. We had our driveway replaced last October due to it crumbled. The builder agreed to do it as warranty work. Today I got a lien notice on my house because Destination never paid for the concrete. Needless to say I am livid, I have called and told them, they are going to discuss it at their meeting today. The receptionist asked me if I was another woman by name so I now know of another name that this is happening too, I was led to believe by a former employee it was $20,000.00 worth so there are quite a few of us. Wish us luck again!

Donuts


Oh my word! Does the picture make you hungry? Zac, Ethan and Kip helped me pick up 50 dozen donuts for the 7th Grade Orientation at Elk Ridge. I am so glad they volunteered, can you imagine me with four carts (I had the fourth one). They also came and volunteered at the school helping the new kids find their classes during the day. Thanks guys!

Swimming with old friends

Megan, Aubrey, Zac, Garrett, Collin, Jonathon


Sammy, Hannah P., Aubrey

Garrett being told by the lifeguard that cannonballs in the hot tub aren't a good thing!




We have had so many reunions these past couple of weeks. My 20th high school reunion (yes, I am that old), lunch with high school friends, all of the members of our ward in California got together, and then the kids had two boys over from California Jonathon and Collin. We took the boys swimming and had a lot of fun. You would not believe the bubbles that came out of the hot tub, it was so bad that they had to pull kids out. I think someone had soap on their suit.

Fear of a life time!

We decided that we were going to give a try to the idea of the girls walking Garrett home from school, today was our trial run. It didn't go to well. Partly my fault. Janeil and I were outside waiting for our boys. The first grade came out and we waited and waited. The teacher went to check if they were still in the classroom. Not there. Panic starts to set in. I sent Meg to go look for him, no luck. Garrett's scooter was already gone from the bike racks so we thought maybe they walked home alone which they aren't suppose to do. I had Megan run home with me not far after her. We get home (we have a keypad so hoped he was in the house) and yelled his name but nothing. By this time I am completely worn out and freaking out. I had left Aubrey at the school to continue looking and most all of the school kids are by this point gone. We are at the half hour mark and I get a call from Aubrey at the school that she has finally found them. They misunderstood their teacher and went out the wrong doors and were standing by themselves by the car drop off lanes. The safety patrol never brought them in like they were suppose too, the kids are new at this job it happens. Needless to say I think we need some more practice with Mom making sure it works for a while. I took him in the school and we walked through coming out the right door and where to meet. I will always be a mess worrying about him but I have to give a go. Wish me luck!

Harbor Ward Reunion

The Bond Family

Amber and Cristen (please try not to see the food spilled on my pants - it was really hot!)

Leah, Megan, Zac, Aubrey, Naomi, Amber, Calista and Ed

Many of the members of our ward in California have moved to Utah. Three of the previous bishops held a reunion. It was fun! We got reacquainted with old friends, Alan got to see friends that he grew up with he hasn't seen in twenty years. We went expecting to see a few families and there was probably fifty people there, amazing! It was great to see you Amber!

First Day of School


Today is the first day of school for Garrett, Aubrey and Megan. It is a bittersweet day! Happy and sad at the same time. Sad because my baby is going to school all day now, happy because my baby is going to school ALL day! Isn't that mean, I am excited to have me time again, it has been 13 1/2 years since I have had that. Happy first day of school guys!
