Christmas

Well I know it is a new year but here is Christmas.  We really enjoyed the slow pace of just the 3 of us this Christmas, it was nice not to run around every where.  We ended up playing more games and watching movies together and that was perfect. Now we are ready for the new year.  KJ is playing basketball again and is excited to try soccer again in this new year.  Darrell is enjoying his new start of track and semester class changes, and I am enjoying more time studying the scriptures better.  Here is to a new year of great adventures. Happy New Year.

Family Time

This November KJ started learning how to play basketball.  Spanish Fork City does and 4 week program twice a week were they start teaching the skills before the get to league play.  KJ has found a sport that he is natural at and really enjoys. This thanksgiving we went to Arizona and enjoyed time with Myndee and her family.  What fun it was to relax and let KJ have others to play with.  We enjoyed thanksgiving dinner with some extra food items, like subway sandwiches, mac and cheese and pizza.  We even enjoyed the craziness of shopping that evening and standing in line forever. After spending 5 days in Arizona we enjoyed 3 days at home before hitting the road again and heading to California to play and see the cross country kids race at the Footlocker western regional's. It was great weather all but one morning, but we really enjoyed the beach where we played in the freezing water, ate at Ruby's on the pier, and road bicycles down the boardwalk trail.  We enjoyed Disneyland for about 8 hours with short lines because of the rain earlier that morning  and enjoyed shopping in the shops.  Family is wonderful but we look forward to staying at home and enjoying the Christmas holiday together.

October

Wow October is over and now November is here.  In September KJ learned a little hip hop for a week with the Elleves at MMHS.  He had a blast as you will see from the pictures.  We had a busy October with the region championships and state championships in cross country.  Darrell's girls where young this year but very talented.  They easily won Region and took 4th at state with only 2 seniors on the team. We had Halloween and KJ chose to be one of his favorite characters Jack Skellington.  He participated in the Reflections at school this year and I will post pictures later.  He is liking Kindergarten, has moved up to level C already in reading, and is learning how to write words and do math. Now on to enjoying the holidays.
