Veterans Day 2010

Tried to scan this paragraph Tanner wrote for Veterans Day and his 5th grade class - hope you can read it. Always fun to see the kids appreciate the Veterans Day holiday. So thankful for the men and women who have sacrificed their time and life in order for us to enjoy this beautiful country where we have freedom - the freedom to choose. Michael and Trav played in their championship football game Veteran's day in the evening - what a cool experience!! United States of America...the land of the FREE!! Great work, Tanner!!!

Michael and Trav's Football season 2010

It has been such a fun football season this year. The boys played hard and had some great experiences. It's fun to see life molding and preparing them for bigger and better things. The season ended a week or so ago - here is a little video we put together for the boys.

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
