Superman....

Michael invited a bunch of friends over again this year to celebrate his "14th" Birthday. What can I say about Michael?? Right now he keeps busy being the manager for the High School Basketball team - It's been a very cool experience to be right there with the team and see what they do in different situations. After attending the HS practices he practices with the 7th & 8th grade team. He gets up at 6:00 four days a week to weight lift and speed train. He has moved on from deacons to being a teacher and was just released as the Deacons Quorum President. He works hard in the classroom and helps those around him. He has always been very driven and works hard to accomlish his goals. Still remember the day he was born - just a day before my Birthday. He just signed up for seminary next year - yep, a big freshman. keep up the good work....

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
