Last Home Soccer Game

Riverside came to Colville and won 0-2. Dustin was awarded player of the game. They had a senior recognition after the game. The players gave their mom a rose. There was a barbeque after the game at Tyler Davis' house. Jim got his new camera yesterday. He used it today.

 

 

 

Gavin's Blessing

Trissa, John, Gavin and Laura came to visit us this weekend. Gavin was blessed Sunday morning by Jim and assisted by James, Steve and Travis. After our meetings we all gathered at my house. Jill was up this past week and stayed 2 days longer than planned so she could attend the blessing. Jodi and her children came up Saturday and stayed with Tabby. Steve came up Sunday morning. James and family brought Laura up Sunday morning and I brought Trissa, John and Gavin up late Saturday night. Chelsea joined up for our meetings and then came and spent the day with us. We had a great time. Jim and I took Trissa, John and Gavin to James' Sunday night and Laura rode with James and his family. James got up really early Monday and took them to the airport for their 6:30 flight to Denver.

Dustin's Soccer Week

Dustin went to West Valley on Tuesday. It was cold and windy. Jim had meetings in Spokane that day so I went and picked him up and then we went to the game. They lost 0-2. It was so cold that Jim was not able to take very many pictures. It would not have been bad if the wind was not so cold and strong. When they kicked the ball into the wind it came back at them before it hit the ground.

 

 

Thursday Cheney came to Colville. The weather was much nicer. It was hot the first half and then it got cold. The rain waited until after the game.
They lost 0-3.

 

 

 

2009 Colville Prom

Colville's prom was held April 25th.
Dustin and his friends got together at Jackson's house for dinner at 6:00 before the prom. Jim took some pictures of them. They had a wonderful dinner prepared by Jackson's dad. After they ate they stayed and visited until 9:00 and then went to the dance. The dance was over at 11:00 and they went to Janesa's and played games.

Chelsea and Dustin

Jackson thought it would be cool to shake the sparkling cider even though the cap had already been opened. The result was an explosion of sticky liquid all over everything, including the girls dresses and hair. They were all good sports about it and laughed.

Colville beat Rogers 3-1

Colville went to Rogers Saturday. Colville scored two goals in the first five minutes. They were able to hold off Rogers until the second half. They scored a point and we in turn scored another point just minutes before the end of the game. This is Colville's first win. They were excited.

Soccer

Dustin is back playing soccer.  His calf is healing although he still puts heat on it morning and night.  He is playing defense.  The team played well on Saturday against Clarkston.  They lost after a double overtime and a shootout.  

Tuesday Medical Lake came to Colville.  The kids didn't play as well as Saturday, maybe they got more sleep.  We lost 0-4.  Dustin got to play striker for about 10 minutes.  

Dustin's Birthday weekend

James, Audra and children came up Saturday evening and stayed until Sunday night.  Travis, Tabby and children came for dinner Sunday along with Chelsea.  Grandma and Grandpa joined us for homemade ice cream and angel food cake.  Today, his birthday, he received a few gifts and ate what was left of the ice cream and I made him another angel food cake.

Dustin's Birthday Party

Dustin had his friends over on Friday night for is birthday. I made pizza and cake. They played Apples to Apples, watched "The Office" and played "wolf". Thanks go to Chelsea for inviting all of his friends. There were over 20 teenagers at our house.

The loss of Loretta Kathleen Dege

Jodi went into premature labor on March 31 and despite everything the doctors did Jodi delivered a little girl. She was 14oz. She lived about an hour and forty-five minutes. She was only 23 weeks pregnant. They had a graveside ceremony on April 11th. She was buried in the Loon Lake Cemetery between grandma and grandpa Robison. Both of Steve's sisters and their families and his mom were able to come. Rip, Leslie, Jenna, Sarah, Dave, Cameron, Jennifer, Nicole, Uncle Al and Uncle Ted and many other friends attended the event. Dave spoke and Steve gave the dedicator prayer. The children sang "I am a child of God" and we all sang "God be with you till we meet again". Jim dug the grave(Friday). William helped carry the casket to the grave. Steve and Jim lowered the casket into the grave. Jim and Dustin filled it in. We all went to Jodi's ward building for a wonderful lunch.

Soccer at Riverside

William, Chelsea, Jim and I went to Riverside High School and watched the soccer game. Dustin played defense most of the game but got to play striker at the end. His calves cramped up after being put in as a striker and he had to come out so Jim could massage the cramps out of his calves. They ended up losing in overtime, 1-2.

Soccer against Pullman

Saturday's "away" game turned into a "home" game because of snow in Pullman. I was excited to hear the news Friday night. The next three games will be away and they haven't played since last Thursday. Pullman got three goals in the first 2 minutes of the game. After taking the goalie out and replacing him with another, Pullman did not score again. The final score 0-3.
