NO I Am NOT Ready For Some FOOTBALL!

     Victor has decided that, despite our best efforts to make him a just a Geek, he will be playing Football for his HS Jr. Varsity team this year. I have spent months trying to talk him into a no or low contact sport that would make for less gray hairs for his mother to no avail. Last week I drove outside my bubble area to attend a scrimmage. I am not a football fan and since I had no idea what was going on it was very different for me. Victor is a Defensive Tackle and is enjoying this thoroughly. He is playing for, from what we can tell after our parents meeting, a very good program, with decent coaches and a very strict code of conduct. We have been very impressed with his commitment and hard work. We look forward to attending some games and cheering him on.

Victor is in the silver shoes, and black gloves

Victor is the Left most player in yellow.

The Answer is 42

    SO you are the head geek in a geek family and you turn 42. What do you do? Well if you are a Mormon you take your family on a trip to the nearby Temple Open house. At least that is what we did. Kelton hit the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. To celebrate we took a trip to take a tour of the Indianapolis Indiana Temple during their open house. For non-Mormons friends and family the Temple is a separate place of worship for us Mormons. It isn't where we go on Sunday (that is a Ward House), but a place for us to draw closer to our Heavenly Father and where we go to have our Families sealed together for time and all Eternity, not just till death do us part. Normally to enter a Temple you must be a member in good standing to enter, but prior to the dedication of a new Temple everyone is invited to tour and learn about Temples during an open house. Our kids had never been to an open house, and this was an opportunity for us to share as a family the beauty of a House of the Lord with them. We hope to travel next year and attend the Hartford Temple Open House. But it was nice to end the month that saw our 19th wedding Anniversary, and the 15th Anniversary of our Family being sealed together for Eternity with this trip. On the way home we stopped and took the tour of the Jelly Belly Warehouse here in WI before it closes.
