January 13th, 2015 Happy New Year

Wow! These last few months have flown by. It has been such a joy having 3 high schoolers in our home. Aiden keeps us all young at heart and helps us to remember those simple, tender moments. I enjoy watching the three older boys heading off to school in the mornings - I often find myself watching them as they drive out of the driveway...they make me smile:) The older boys pretty much follow Trav Jr's lead - if he says jump...they say,"how high"!! I have to smile how much influence one person can make in a family. He's prompt - doesn't like to be late. VERY FOCUSED!! I would like to say that come from me but we all know it comes form his dad:) He loves basketball right now and it's such a blessing to watch him and Michael be out on the court together. I love it when they give each other high 5's or encouragement. He met with the bishop a few weeks ago and has started his missionary papers. That is really exciting! We look forward to his call.

ok, so the pictures below are a little bit of everything. Football came to a end in last of October. The boys made it past the play-in-game - Tanner(14) participated in the Southern Utah Symphony Choir. down in Cedar City. His Choir teacher Mrs Zwang is pretty much the best teacher EVER - Tanner also participated in the High School Christmas Program. He was one of the three wise men this year. I love that this little town of Enterprise focuses on the true meaning of Christmas -

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
