Meet MaKayla

Meet my cute little niece. I am so proud of my brother and sister-in-law. They went all the way to the Ukraine to get her. This little girl is so lucky to be going into this family. I here she just turned 1 and is so tiny. I can't wait to see her.

No Girls Allowed!

My 2 Boys!

Shawn and his best friend Derrick decided that NO GIRL'S ALLOWED at Homecoming this year. They went with their football buddies (who went with girls.) Shawn said they had a good time. Both of them are just sick of the drama with girls. Out of all of Shawn's friends, he is my favorite. He is such a good kids. He calls me Mom and I love it.

A.J. loves playing Football

He played his heart out!

Player of the game 9/18/2010

It was cool that he got it that day, even though he played is heart out,

but Chris, Annie, and the Kids were here. It was fun to watch Chris and Donavan, they just

looked like they were enjoying it. Chris was funny because he kept telling A.J. stuff to do and was getting mad at the Ref's because of all the BS calls. It was nice that they came to support him.

A.J. with his flag. They fly these during their games. It's cool, because after they win or lose they go and get them and run down the field with them. It's cool.

A.J. is so good at football and is doing a great job. His coach can't believe how good he is. I think if you let him play any sport he will play like he has played that sport forever. He is just a NATURAL!

A.J. is on a good team and the Coaches are great. I think him playing soccer and having Shawn play football with him has helped out ALOT!!!

There's a first for everything

AJ getting up on Waking Boarding

AJ and Ben Kayaking

I know I am late about writing about mine and AJ trip to California. We had the best time. It was a FIRST of many's. It was AJ first time on a plane. I have to say that if I fly again I will fly with Jet Blue. I have flown different airlines and they are the best. I love that we were able to watch TV, Direct TV that is. When we got to California we got our rental car and drove up to stay with Ben and Heather. It was so fun. Heather's dad took us Wake Boarding and out to dinner to Chilies. That was our 2nd, of first. The next day we went to Malibu Beach to go Kayaking. The was the 3rd of first. It was so nice there the temperature was perfect. It was funny, Heather had sun tanning lotion. I put that on my arms and legs, it was only 8 proof, then Heather put 50 proof on my shoulder's. Guess what got fried, that's right my shoulder's. I don't get it. It was so much fun to watch AJ and Kyle play. They had the best time. After going to the beach we went back to Heather's and our stuff and headed to my Aunt Doreen's house. That was fun. We had dinner and went to my cousin house Chuckie. AJ and his son swam and we just sat around the pool and talk. It was nice because I haven't seen my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin in almost 14 years. The Next day we headed down to Anaheim to check in to our hotel. We had to meet the other players and their families for a Soccer meeting. Let's just say that at that time our little vacation was over. For the next 3 days was soccer, soccer, and more soccer. I had the best time with AJ. I know this will be something that he will never forget. It was a nice break for me too.

1st day of school

Peyton and her best friend Katie

Kelly on the first day of school

Emma on the first day of school

AJ on the first day of school

One of Kelly's gift's. It is a thing from China. The lady that is living with Dad and Shauna gave it to her. Her name is Kathy. The kids just love her and I believe she feels the same way.

Jordyn and Grandma Neen

Kelly opening her presents.

Well this year school started on a Thursday, a Thursday really, how stupid is that. Oh well. The kids were all so excited to start. I am mad at the fact the Emma and AJ don't ride the bus. I am in a car pool with my friend who lives behind me. I have to say that it's wired that the summer is over. It went by fast, but not as fast as some years.

Shawn is in 12th this year. Time flies, I can't believe it. He was accepted to the Jordan Tech Center so he can become a Dental Assistant. I think it's cool because after he graduates he will have a better start. He wants to work and go to school for a year then he leaves on his mission. He his playing football stills and is loving every minute of it. This weekend he gets to play a school in Idaho. Gabe gets to go with them. He is filming the parts of the game.

Kelly is in the 9th grade this year. She turned 14 yesterday. I hate that my kids are getting older. Kelly is so excited this year. She is loving Seminary and love Science, which is a first. She says her teacher is cool and funny. Kelly told me that this is the year! She wants so bad to get good grades, and I believe that she will. I told her to keep that attitude. She seems so happy. I am so happy for her. I love to see her smile.

AJ is in the 4th grade this year. He is a busy little boy. He plays Soccer and Football and is loving all of it. On Wednesday 9/1 AK and I are leaving for California for 6 days for a soccer tournament. We can't wait. It's going to be hard and fun all at the same time.

Emma is in the 2nd grade. She is loving it to the fullest. She would mark down the days till it stated. I don't think I really need to worry about her. She always dose what she needs to and if she forgets.... she starts to cry.

Peyton has a new friend that lives next door. Finally we get new people that move in. They are such great people. Peyton and Katie play so well together, if they could they would live together. I am going to start watching her and in return her mom is going to clean my house. NICE!!!!

Jordyn is getting so big and is talking up a storm. I just love this little girl. She is such a mama's girl.

Football and more football.........I love it!

Shawn making the play

Last year of Football. It's sad. I just love watching him play.
It's weird to see him in a different #. He has always has 3 or 33.
When Gabe's friend Rob pasted away last December, Shawn wanted to
honor him so Rob was #10 in high school. So the year in Rugby and now Football
he wears #10 and puts Rob's name on his leg. I ask Shawn the other day if he wishes he was wearing his old #'s? He told me no, that he loves wearing #10. He also told me that at times he can feel Rob watching over him. Shawn got to know him pretty good when he was still here. He also said this is different for me it has more meaning then any other year. I am glad that
Shawn is wearing his # and I am glad we were able to meet Rob. What a wonderful person he
was and a example to my boy.

This picture is not all that good of AJ, but it will have to do for now. He has started to play and loves it. He is pretty good for this being his first year. I guess that's what he get for having a big brother that loves the game too.

Here is AJ with his team listening to his Coach.
It is so much fun to see him play. It brings back memories of when Shawn was little.

The Kids start school on Thursday. NICE!!! All the get are ready to go back. Emma and Kelly
keeps counting down the days.

I am loving my job at Micheal's. It's just the right job for me. It's funny I worked Saturday and for 2 hours all I did way make a cute Halloween treat bucket. It's just alot of fun.

Gabe and I are doing good. All I have to say is that, this is a happiest I have been in a long time.

Heather and myself. I just love it when she comes up.

All I can say about this one is....... NICE

Peyton and her buddy. Peyton just loves Heather.

at the water park.

She is just to cute for words.

The kids always have so much fun when Kyle comes. We all had the best time.
I love the pictures of what Heather took of the kids. I can't wait to see the rest. Rylie and Kyle had the best time with each other.
