Lunch with Braden

Last week I was invited to lunch with Braden at his beautiful elementary school, Hassan Elementary. He's a kid who really knows how to enjoy life: eat dessert first. Braden was so cute and when he saw me he came right to me, took my hand, and led me back to his table. What a wonderful thing that is to have your hand in the hand of a little person. Afterwards, I was invited to see his classroom and it is all so wonderful. Another wonderful thing about living in Minnesota: living near the Galloways!

Jones Update

These are some of the happenings in our world lately. Brock finally finished up his Eagle Project. He planted 10 trees at a new park in northeast Centerville. Brock, Raymond, Brock's leaders and troop worked hard on 2 different days to get them all planted. The soil was rocky and hard so he was grateful for all the help he received from everyone. Now to just get all the paperwork completed so he can be awarded his eagle.

It is hard to believe Cole has only 1 more regular season football game left. It seems he was just playing sophomore football and now his senior season is almost over.

The Viewmont Vikings have had some highs and lows this season with big wins over Davis, Weber, Northridge and Layton but difinitely should have won the close games against Syracuse, Fremont and Bountiful. It has been "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" this season. Cole tore his MCL against Layton. It ended up being a grade 1 tear so he only missed 4 practices and no games but will have to wear a brace until the first of the year.


Cole also had fun attending the Homecoming Dance!!
