Coach Miskin


The kids and I finally managed to see one of the games Nate coached this past Friday. The other ones have been away or we have had a soccer game to get to. This one was against Pine View, and Lehi didn't win, but it was super fun to see him out there. Can you believe those kids by him are fifteen! I tried to get a lot of pictures, but most are of him with his back turned. I didn't want to be super conspicuous and dart out on to the sidelines to take pictures, I don't even see parents doing that. Hopefully I can get a few more pics before the season is over though, I want to document the football coaching career.


I did finally get some good shots of Jack's soccer game. He has the splint on his right wrist as you can see. I don't think it is bothering him really, but I am insistent on him wearing it while he is playing soccer, I don't want him to land on it and break it. Sometimes it is hard to not make him wear full body armor all the time actually. The kid really puts his whole body on the line all the time. I love this action shot I must say. I haven't been as bold about getting soccer pictures this year either. I am afraid if I try and crouch by the sideline I will fall and not be able to get up.

Yesterday Nate did a ton of stuff around the house, he mowed the lawn, did some dishes and loaded some stuff under the house that needed to be put away. He also played in a ward football game, helped clean the church, and made sure the Lehi Stadium had gotten picked up after the game on Friday-his team is responsible for that. I went to the grocery store, made sweet and sour chicken, and made a knit baby gown. Both of us were pretty tired and slept pretty well. It was a pretty busy Saturday, but it felt like we got some good things accomplished.

We have been watching Season three of the Office, getting ready for the next season. We only have three episodes to go! I can't tell you how much this show cracks me up. Nate laughs at how hard I laugh. Last night was the attack on Jim from Roy, the bat in the office, and the inappropriate water mark, and safety training. I don't know why I am so amused when they throw the watermelon off the roof onto the trampoline and it bounces on to Stanley's car. And Jim catching onto Dwight and Angela's secret relationship. Who all knows about this, and what scandal will ensue as a result! Very excited for this next season to begin.
