...Back to the BOOKS!!!

Michael(7th grade),Travis(8th grade) are both up in the high school this year. They are such fun boys - growing up way too fast for me. They started school a few weeks ago and are getting excited for their first football games this coming weekend - I love that they have each other - they are good buds!!

My baby started kindergarten this year. Only goes from 12:10-2:30 - The first day he rode his bike to school and I walked behind him... just couldn't stop thinking about where times goes - he is such a little man - loves life..and is so excited about school and learning. Enjoys drawing and is going to be the "Star of the week" starting tomorrow. He is pretty pumped on taking his poster to school - this year we did a small little garden and we will often find Aiden showing the neighborhood kids the veggies and how "huge" they are getting. He brings so much Light into our home....

Kadin my niece is a big senior this year - it's fun for the kids to have the cousins at school with them. We enjoy watching her dance and perform during all the half time events. Michael and her are good buds too:)

Zach and Trav are just a few months apart - these boys are amazing. Trav is playing QB this year and Zach is the center -they have a AWESOME team. BEST of Friends!!!

Zepp Family said...: Wow! Can't believe all the boys are of school age now. I clearly remember coming home from my freshman year of college on Christmas break and holding Trav Jr. for the first time, as a new born! What a fond memory...he made me an aunt for the first time!

They have all grown into to such good looking and talented young men. Can't wait to hear about all the good they do in the classroom and various sports fields this year!

Love to you all xoxoxo Jason, Sissy and MOB; September 7, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Anne Dougherty said...: Your boys are growing up right before our eyes! Wish we could see a football game. Please let us know if you come anywhere near Provo. Do you play in Salina?; September 15, 2010 at 3:12 PM

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
