"88 Dow!"

Wearing number 88 - Dowlin Taylor! (and the crowd goes wild!) OK well at least Mom and Dad do :) Dowlin made the Varsity Football team this year and after playing all summer, and being praised for his abilities, we're scratching our heads as to why he's not playing more? I know that sounds like something 'every parent' would say - but really - We can't figure it out. And that's all I'm going to say about that (mom says through clenched teeth)
Willow Canyon did make the State finals this year for the first time. They are only a 5 year old school - so "it was awesome to make it to state" well that's good if they can keep saying that because after the 3 hour drive to Touscan they got their butts kicked. It was a humbling game to be sure. But as we often tell Dowlin, these are life experiences - that which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Truthfully, he's aggressive, he plays smart - he's just to obedient and humble - he won't stand up for himself... 'He's a great young man', and those comments coming from teachers, coaches, and friends never get old!

Happy Birthday Zachery

Holy Smoke! Who knew that 9 little candles could set off the smoke detector? (No not really) As you can see by the Soccer inspired cake - Zach is our soccer player! He loves it and he is good! He is enjoying 3rd grade and anxious for Christmas.
Poor guy has to wait all year for his birthday then wishes it away wishing for Christmas...
Happy birthday Z-man! We love you!
