GO BIG GREEN

Provo High School football!

Gotta love it. Diego is #13. He is a sophomore at PHS and plays D-End (I haven't figured out what that is yet:) )



"You're gonna do what??????"

On Wednesday, Miguel had his first tackle football game of the season. He is playing on the 6th grade team in the UVFL league that is done by Park Sportsmans. He has been playing in this league since 3rd grade.

He came home from the game on Wednesday and looked a bit different than usual.





Evidently, on one of the plays, someones skinny little elbow came barreling through the opening on Miguel's helmet and landed right on his nose. When he took his helmet off, his nose was crooked.
Now, most of you are probably getting ready for a big long emergency room story, well, I don't have one for you. Diego gave Miguel something to bite on, told Antonio to hold Miguel's hands down, and proceeded to 'straighten' his nose out. Popped it back into place, TWICE. Evidently Miguel was not enjoying it, but the story goes that he was a trooper and withstood the pain quite well. Whether or not his nose is actually broken, we don't know, but we are pretty sure it isn't. It evidently didn't bleed profusely on impact, and the bruising really isn't that bad. Needless to say, Diego went out and bought him a guard to put on his helmet.

As my Mom and Dad always said to us growing up: "It'll heal before your married."


Love to all
