Busy weekend


At the end of Sam's soccer season in November he was asked to participate in the AYSO select team.  The Mountain View team played on Sunday, so Sam decided not to participate.  It seemed the director really wanted Sam to play so he suggested Sam try out for the Cupertino league.  They don't play on Sunday. Daniel was an assistant coach, which was nice for me because that meant I didn't have to worry about driving to or from practice.  So Sam and his team had a great season.  In fact they made it into the tournament.  So here we are on the day of the tournament.  Sam is as chilled as can be.  I think he must be envisioning himself in goal stopping strong kicks or running down the line to score a goal.  


The didn't end up wining the tournament, but it was a good experience for him.



It has been a busy weekend. Before the soccer tournament Sam and Daniel went on the father son camp out. They had a great time. Daniel and I were both excited about the thought of the father son camp out this year because our new ward is much smaller. So the camp out will be more intimate.  I didn't get any pictures of the camp out.

I did however get a picture of half of the little treasure Daniel brought home. After Daniel and I said our nightly prayer he asked me to look at his arm. I could not believe what I was looking at. It was a TICK!!!!!  After reading some tips on the internet I took some tweezers and a try to pull it out.  I was pulling REALLY HARD!!    I mean really really hard.


Of course when I pulled so hard the body finally broke off.  Above you can see the head and 2 arms still in Daniel.  The only thing to do was text my friend Cara, she is a nurse. Sine it was really late we asked her to come take a look at it after church tomorrow.   When she came and analyzed the situation it was clear to her she was going to have to dig deep into Daniel's arm to get the whole head out.  She put some lidocaine on it the area and dug a hole around and under the head to pull it out.  



Yeah!!! Thank you!  Nice wound, but no tick.
Below is the little monster.  We saved it in case Daniel starts feeling ill in a few weeks.
