.....catching up

We celebrated the 4th of July on Monday the 5th. The community put on a great program at the school in the early morning- fun runs at the park later on in the afternoon - had 4 familes over for a BARB-Q later that evening and enjoyed a firework show put on by my brother-in-law Brandon that night - fun filled DAY!!

Smiling really hard that these boys belong to my husband - wouldn't really call Trav the cowboy type. Loved the rodeo -something I always enjoyed attending as a young girl in Vale, Oregon. The boys had a great time - Tanner even caught a chicken during the games in the arena - doesn't get much better than that:)...when we arrived home Aiden had Michael's boots on - he really wants his dad to buy him a horse...:):)

Aiden and I went North for a few days and hung out with Trav while he was working - we played during the day and enjoyed having Trav to hang out with in the evenings.....Love that KID!!

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
