Boys Will Be Boys!

Last week I took Ben to the dr. for what I thought was a sprained pinky but it ended up he fractured it quite badly.

He had surgery Friday morning. They put a pin in at the end of his pinky and through the bone. It and the cast will come off in 4 - 6 weeks.

Did that stop him from playing football Saturday? With the dr's approval, no it didn't. He didn't play running back, just kicker and outside linebacker. He made a great tackle.

Oh, you ask how did he sprain his pinky? Jr. High boys are so ready to prove their manhood!
A friend at school said "Ben, hit me as hard as you can" Ben hit a wooden door to show how hard he could hit. Well, the friend decided he didn't want Ben to hit him after all :) Boys!!


In Autumn news.....the colors have really come alive in the last week. We've gone on a few drives to take in the great beauty Utah has to offer. I'm adding pictures to my PhotoStream to share with you.

We have a couple fall drives lined up this week as well so look for pictures in a few days :)

We went up to a campsite this past weekend and had dinner and a campfire even though we weren't able to spend the night. The evening ended with an awesome rain, thunder and lightening show.

School is going well for all the kids and DJ is hanging in there over in Sicily. Very homesick. I've really missed him these past few days as we've gone out for our fall drives and such.

Hope Autumn is starting to greet you with all the splendor it has to offer!!

Blessings!
