Happy 15th Travis Jr.

Another year older - 15 years old, can you even believe it?? Trav turned 15 on December 8th. He had a game down in St. George - was 9 of 12 from the foul line...he ended up fouling out with 2 minutes to go
but what a way to celebrate the day. We went out to Sushi after his game..then to Walmart to pick out a gift with the gift card Nana and Papa sent...reminds me so much of his dad - great leader...so helpful - Still remember the day he was born - it was Christmas time...living in Elma....we were so grateful to have a son & the sweet spirit you always have brought into our home. Trav was asked by the varsity coach to travel with the varsity team to Nevada this weekend for a tournament...we love watching you grow...love when you pick Aiden up and hold him in your arms...Love ya Forever & thanks for BEING YOU!!

Great form on those foul shots and nice to see you are wearing Mom's jersey number ;) Would have loved to join in on that sushi dinner to help you celebrate the big day! We miss your quiet, yet fun personality. Wish we lived closer...our kids would worship you.

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
