On The Mend

We are saying lots of prayers around here lately! Great-Grandpa Sawyer had his knee replacement a few weeks ago and lucky for us is around the corner at a rehab center. We have visited a few times, including his 86th birthday. His request - pizza!

Now Grandma Goshorn is in the hospital after having her knee replaced yesterday. We can't wait to go see the comedian, who has kept everyone laughing with her medicated conversations!

Get well soon to all those needing some extra prayers!

Love

Love that Will likes to sleep with his shirt off or in mix-match pjs.

Love that Will's favorite book to read at night is his children's Bible.

Love that will is never embarrassed to kiss me, hug me or put his arms around me, no matter who is around.

Love to love Will.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!

To the boy that loves....all things sweet....and is so sweet....likes neat handwriting...loves to give you the 411 after school on all the "happenings"...loves God, his family and friends....is so good to his younger siblings...loves to travel and read the atlas....loves to play outside in no shoes and socks (ugh!)...loves to read and work math problems...loves to be up first and turn on Sports Center...loves being my OLDEST CHILD and hearing about the day he was born. I remember every second of that day because you made me a MOM. We love you Jackson Paul Goshorn. Happy 8th Birthday!

What We Are Up To....

School

Learning how to raise a village

Being Team Mom to this group is a full time job

To recap...school, sports, fun, repeat. Not many pictures, as I am too busy cheering on my kids! Jack had a touchdown 2 weeks ago; Will had a touchdown last weekend; Brooke scored 2 goals last Monday night and another yesterday. One.Proud.Momma.

Brooke's 1st Day of Pre-K

Finally, Brooke's turn arrived for the 1st Day of School. Although she told us the night before:

"I am smart. I already know how to spell my name and all the names of my family. I know all my letters. I do not need to go to school."

Oh boy.

 

She went anyway and has had a great week thus far. She has some friends from last year in class, as well as making new and has gone to Lunch Bunch twice. I think she would like to stay home with me, but when we get there she is ready to go. Should be a great year!

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY WILL!!

To the boy that.... melts my heart... gives THE BEST hugs ever... is always flying under the radar...LOVES the ladies...loves sports of all sorts...is a good brother and friend...loves Jesus, his family and friends...is our "loose cannon"...eats more fruit than a monkey....loves candy and gum....still covers himself in the blue striped blanket I covered him in 7 years ago....still gets a black eye like he had 7 years ago when he came into this world...and still looks at me with those eyes that makes me love him more every day...

To you, William Robert Goshorn....Happy 7th Birthday. We could not imagine this world without your face.
We love you!

Are You Ready For Some Football - Season 2

I am SO EXCITED that Football Season for IHM is BACK! We had our 1st Scrimmage vs. Guardian Angels this past Sunday.

I was very nervous for Will's team - K1. 23 players, only 5 played last year and about 1/2 are tiny little Kindergarteners.

I.WAS.WRONG.

Will's team came out and scored 6 times in the 1st 8 plays...WILL getting the 2nd TD of the game! 40 Yard Rush! SO PROUD!! Final score 36-6.

Jack's team did not disappoint either. They won 18-6 with Jack catching 2 passes - the 1st attempts and completions for his team ever! Considering he was double-teamed most of the game he did outstanding. So proud to see him get tackled, knocked down and held but STILL gets right back up. He got a little mad towards the end at the kid holding him - I love his ferocious spirit!
