Down. Set. Hut. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL

It is hard to believe that I have a 10 year old.
Will celebrated his birthday this year with a FOOTBALL themed party

We sent out invitations:

Come join us on the 50 yard hash

it’s gonna be a great big Birthday Bash!

For Will Boehme, he’s turning 10 soon

And wants to play football Saturday afternoon!

Too many presents make Will go looney!

Instead if you could, please bring a Tooney

Saturday October 30th

1-4 p.m.

Dress for the weather and bring a football if your game!!


I made a cake!

And then the greatest part about this party was that COACH Brian took it from there!! Brian loves the game of football and so he ran a really fun camp for the boys all afternoon. Will invited about 25 boys and 17 came. The weather was great and the boys had so much fun learning some skills and just having fun doing what boys do best, PLAY HARD!

Will's good buddy, Parks Hirsche letting Coach Brian demonstrate a good tackle!! What a sport!
Here are the boys. Tired, happy and ready for cake!

I thought the cake turned out well, and Will loved it! It was a really fun Saturday afternoon celebrating our BIG man Will. We love you so much Will and are so proud of you!

(On the night of Will's actual birthday we took him out for a special date just with Mom and Dad. We had such a nice time together. We gave him his present, an iPod and he said this was his best birthday EVER! We had such a nice time just being with him. We went to the FIRESTONE GRILL and they were so kind to open the patio just for us, heated and all! Will was impressed with the open fire torches lighting the room and the neat reflection pool/waterfall. We had the BIG TALK with him and were impressed with his maturity. That discussion is always intense, but he handled everything so well. We came away from that night feeling so glad that as parents if we are in tune we can choose the right moments in a child's life to teach when they are ready to hear. I love the challenges of being a parent and how with the Lord's help we can grow to be the parents he needs us to be for each unique and special child placed in our home)

What a great party idea! Genius! Amazing cake maker. So fun to see you the other night. Yes, I'd love to borrow "the book" you have. And as for Jon S, you and Will are welcome to come any time! I wish I'd known sooner-if only I was a better blogger and told of things to come instead of things past!

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray
