This year Cody started tackle football. He is a Mighty Might on the San Tan Special Forces team. GO FORCES! We worked hard to be on this team to be with friends, and because the coaches are so amazing. Expectations are high, and they require the team to work hard, be kind, and speak only positively on the field. Then, they go out and tackle the skittles out of each other. Cody has learned so many life lessons after only one week of practice.
He comes home at 8:30 or 9p.m., takes a shower, and comes down to eat and talk for a minute. I love those minutes.
On Tuesday night, during that time, Cody said, "Mom, coach said that when you're running sprints and you're whooping everybody it's good, but it's easy. He says that when you're running sprints and getting whooped, that's when you work the hardest, and that's when you get the strongest."
I could learn alot from tackle football.

I love the lessons we can learn from every day life, not to mention our kids. Another great post! Thanks Monica.
That's awesome! Man I wish their were more coaches and people out there teaching kids these little lessons in life. That is something we should all think about! Thanks for the great post!

p.s. thanks for all your sweet comments on our blog. Also I ran into Shauna Schneph (I know I spelled it wrong) and she said she's in your ward. That is awesome. I love Shauna and David! Did you know that David is my cousin?
Thanks for the idea about emailing the district about the over crowded classrooms. I think I will get right on that. Thanks again for all your words of encouragement and comfort. I sure appreciate it.
That is so awesome about David. Would you believe that Shauna didn't tell me that David and Warren were in the bishopric together. When you talk to her let her know I'm so happy for them. You have guys have made me want to move out to your ward. What a great ward! You guys are all great people!
Sorry one more thing-does David and Shauna have a blog?
