Grandma & Grandpa Doyle come to visit..

My parents came for the weekend - they have 13 grandchilden in Southern Utah so, basically came down to watch lots of football. My sister and I drove down to see them in Vegas the night they arrived...just in time to watch Damon's(my nephew)football team win in OT - had a great time...even better to hit such a great game. Damon is a awesome player.

Friday: we all gathered at Kel's house for dinner and games

Saturday: we all woke up early and drove one hour East to Panaca to watch Travis, Zach and Michael play on the 8th grade team. Trav has been throwing the ball like a true CHAMPION- he is so fun to watch!! Zach is our center - him and Trav have a good connection, and Michael is a workhorse - he has ran for 5 touchdowns the last 2 games and is the 7th grade kicker - fun he got to play up with the big boys:) Does it really get better then this?? After Michael's game my parents drove 2 hours down to St. George to watch Samson(another nephew) play in his football game - 4 games in 2 days!! Saturday night my brother Matt's family, Kel's family, my parents, and the boy's football coach and his family all gathered for a yummy BBQ and some more football - Trav cooked us up some of his yummy food....

Sunday: We went to church and all gathered for dinner one more time before we said our goodbyes - we love being close to family and our so grateful for each and everyone of our family members near and far that make our family unique and special. Thanks mom, dad, & matt for the good times!!!

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

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
