TIME TO CATCH UP

Well we got so caught up with Austin breaking his arm snowboarding that I didn't get the pictures posted of snowboarding.... So here they are! Amazingly enough looking at these we are lucky we didn't have more broken bones!

Saturday is a special day.....

Ok so I am being a little sarcastic about Saturday being a special day. Since Jentry and Shelby had a bye from Jr. Jazz games we figured it would be a great opportunity to get in a little snowboarding this morning before Austin's game at 1:00, needless to say Austin didn't make it to his game, and unfortunately is out for the season. He broke his wrist, the doctor's say it's a "good break" (guess that should make me feel better.) Here he is chilling in the emergency room (before the pain meds lol!)

THIS IS FOR NIESHA!

Austin's Volleyball Tournament

So it's not just the girls in the family that like volleyball! Austin has really grown to love the sport, and so when they offered a middle school clinic and tournament, he jumped all over it! I really wish they offered it here as a real competetive school sport, he absolutely loves the game! And he is pretty darn good at it too!

Holiday Magic

So I know it's been forever since I blogged, man life has just been crazy! Missed a few things but oh well, starting fresh from now, hopefully I will be able to keep up! We had some really fun times during the Christmas season, so I thought I would share those. This year we went to Richfield for The forgotten Carols, and although Shy and I had seen it before it was the first time for Austin, Jentry, Shelby & Bubba, needless to say they asked if we could make this a yearly tradition. I wasn't sure how they would react, but they all absolutely LOVED it, they all commented on how much they felt the spirit, and want to make sure we do it again! This year I wanted to make sure that we made it up to temple square as well, so after Austin's volleyball tournament we headed up north, I decided it would be fun to go ice skating, all of the kids except Bubba have been ice skating before, but we have never done it as a family so I thought that might be something fun to do, so we went ice skating for a couple of hours, Bubba didn't like it to well at first because he fell so much, but by the time we left he was getting the hang of it and wants to go back. After skating we jumped in the van grabbed a pizza and headed to Salt Lake to temple square, it was absoulutely beautiful! Very Crowded and cold but so worth it to go and see and we got some great pics as well! Hopefully I will be able to get some Christmas pics on here in the next day or two.

STATE VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS 2009-10

Dreams really do come true! As a parent there isn't a better moment when you see the hard work, dedication & determination of your child pay off and did it pay off big! 6 years ago our group of 8 seniors set a goal that they would be State Champions their senior year, knowing it would be Halloween night and for 6 six years they have said when asked what are you being for Halloween their repsonse was always state champs! Well that dream became a reality saturday night as our Lady Hawks won the state championship beating the #1 ranked team in the state. Most had counted us out never even thinking we would make it to the championship round, in fact alot of people didn't think we would make it through the first day, but our girls came into the tournament a new team from what we had seen all season long, they were determined, played as a team, and fought hard to achieve their goal! The championship game went 5 games with the final game being won 15-13 so it was a nail biter! Shyanne played the games of her life at state and I am so proud to say she was chosen to the all-tournament team! What a way to end your senior year Shy!!!
