Wesley has joined his first official sports team, a kindergarten soccer league; he had his first game this past week. It was held in a fierce Spanish Fork windstorm that was so intense it blew the goals over, trapping the poor goalies in their nets. He enjoys playing, even though it might not be the best match for him. He spends most of the time striking poses in his schnazzy soccer outfit, dancing around, and studying his cleats. Every once in a while he realizes that the ball just flew by, and briefly chases it. We're working with him, and it's a start. It is a lot of fun to see all of the kids just chase the ball around in a large huddle, tripping over each other and trying to grasp the concepts behind some basic rules.
In other news, Adena was just elected as a state delegate in the Republican party in the state of Utah. She ran against 6 other candidates, and won by a majority vote. In Utah, the delegates are elected to vote on which candidates get to run in the primaries. They have the power to ensure that certain candidates do or do not make it to the ballot; it's a unique process to Utah, and very exciting. Since she was elected, she has been called and pandered to by the various candidates, and has been busy attending meet and greets, dessert parties at candidates' houses, and other debates and events. She casts her vote with 3,500 other delegates at the state convention on May 8th. The biggest race she will be voting on is the U.S. Senate race against the incumbent, Bob Bennett. Currently, there are three strong contenders against him, it's just a matter of narrowing it down. Wish her luck!
More updates coming soon.
