at brooke's school they had run club. every thurs. for 10 min at the start of p.e. the kids ran. the goal was a hundred laps or roughly 20 miles for the year. if they did it they got a new pair of running shoes. brooke did it!! only a hand full of kids completed it. good job brooke!!! last year she brooke her ankle and could not run, her p.e. coach had to make her sit because she is such a competitor she kept trying to run with her cast. so this year despite missing a few thursdays she was determined to do it. she is extremely athletic and competitive when they play the fourth graders at what ever sport, she dresses to win. it could be cleats for soccer or football, basket ball shoes and jersey for b-ball, or cleats, hat,pants and glove for baseball. she carries it all in a bag like she was playing a high school sport. she always goes 100% and we love her for it!

the gators

while i was out planting our garden i noticed loa in her gator was following grandpa in his. she must have followed him for ten min. he would stop she would stop right behind him. he was smilling but tring not to let her know he knew she was there. than he started doing circles till he was behind her, loa loved that she was laughing the whole time. she love her great grandpa on the hill!! i have a video of the circles i will try to add.

NAMED KING & QUEEN!!!

        RJ and I went to Our wards 80's Prom!  It was a blast! Most everybody dressed for the occasion!  They did a slide show showing everybodys pictures when they graduated.  It was fun to see!  Of course it didn't look like I had aged two years!  But I will take that as I still got the looks!  Most people recognized RJ, but he fooled a few.We had no idea they had passed out voting cards and next thing we new they named us Queen and King of the Prom!  RJ said he just won because everybody had voted for me.  Either way we were crowned!!   I don't think we have had that much fun in a long time!                                                               

Getting my grove on!

                                                (Kailyn is Brad and Katies little girl)

We all went to Ava's 3rd Birthday Party, which is one of Jared and Erins little girls.  Matt decided to come with us but tried to avoid the camera, which he did a good job at.  The little pill!  Joey pretty much hung out with a couple of older boys playing basketball so there are not very many shots of him either. I can still hear the Hawaiian music just looking at these pictures, can you?
