Few more...

Kadin and Travis Jr. in the above picture - Michael and Aiden walking home from school one day in the picture below. If you look close Aiden is running towards me with a flower in his hand....the small things that mean so much.

Almost a TEENAGER....

Here is Travis Jr. - Can't believe he will be 13 in a few months. So glad he is our oldest and appreciate the great example and leader he is to his younger brothers.

50's DAY.....

Michael and Tanner dressing up for 50's day. Their hair was a little too short to slick back...but had a fun time joining in on dress-up week.

More football...

We have been doing the football thing for a few months now - gets more exciting each week - The boys have worked so hard and are having some great experiences. We love, love, love watching them perform and become the BEST that they can be. We are looking forward to play-offs in November. The boys and their teams have some pretty high goals.....exciting stuff!!

Saturdays.....

Trav loves watching his "BOYS"!!!

Tanner just started football last week - him and Caleb(Kel's 10 year old) are on the same team - makes for some fun times.

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents need to "play offense" - to capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character. Their assignment during two brief decades will be to trasform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faithis to give each child understanding of scripture and a lifelong passion of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe. the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the careand Nurturance of children.

Christmas In Elma!!

We left for WA the 13th of December - I barely made it to Seattle to hand the kids over to my Dad and catch a flight to Atlanta where I would join Trav for his company Christmas Party the next day. Trav and I had a fun get away and were able to do a little Christmas shopping. We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and flew back to Seattle Sunday morning where we stayed until January 3rd - We were able to catch a Elma Boys Basketball game. The boys thought it was really cool looking at all the family(uncles & aunts) names on the walls before you entered the Gym doors. Michael and I went and Chatted with Coach Nadau one afternoon. It was so fun spending time with family and friends
