Trevon & Uncle Casey

We all know that Trevon has a really great time with Casey. The other night he fell asleep leaning against him. I think it is because he just didn't want to leave his pal's side! Trevon is loving the fact that Jenna & Casey are here and is trying to take full advantage of his time with a terrific uncle! :-)

Shelby gets an award as well

Shelby received and award at school as well for Outstanding Academics. She worked very hard and we are very, very proud of her! Her teacher took a picture of us, but I don't have it-so here is the picture I have of her! Yeah Shelby!!! What a brain!

Ethan gets an award at school

Ethan was a super kid and got an award at school for being an example of seizing the moment (they call it "This is It" meaning they take carpe diem to heart). His teacher submitted his name. He was pretty excited! We are proud of him!

Ryden finds a sharpie pen

So, I have Sharpie pens that I use to color code my calendar for the kids. Ryden got into my bag of Sharpies (the first of the 6 to do so) and wrote all over his face. Here are a few pictures of his artwork. Sorry the pictures aren't the best, he wasn't in the mood to cooperate for pictures. Oh-you can get a glimpse of his new haircut too! :-)

Go Cougars!!

Jenna & Casey brought the kids BYU shirts (which they love more than anything that they got at Christmas!). Below is Trevon-he put the shirt on backwards first (oops!) and then corrected it! We think he looks pretty cute! And boy does he love his shirt, BYU, & the Cougars!

Trev's 1st Day of EAK

Trev started EAK this month. He was pretty excited to go to school for the first time and absolutely loves it. He has a terrific teacher with a lot of love and patience for all of the kids. We are so excited to see him enjoying his class and everything that he is learning. (He explained to me the other day that school is very important because you learn there and it prepares you for college!)

Broc's Graduation Party

Broc graduated from SDSU in December and Joanna had a fun party for him at the beach. Below are pictures of Garth & Jaleen skateboarding, Ethan on his new skateboard, and Trevon & his best pal Uncle Casey. We had a GREAT time at the beach. Congratulations Broc!

Christmas Dinner

Okay, so I took very FEW pictures of Christmas dinner. The pictures below are of Jaleen & Shelby working hard making rolls, the boys playing X-Box 360 (thanks to Gus for fixing it for us), and some of the food that we had for dinner! The Beher Family joined us for dinner as well as Broc & Joanna and Jaleen's friend Sean. It was a decent sized group and the kids had a blast with other kids their ages. I wish I remembered to take a picture of Ryden and his new friend Nathaniel. Those two are like two peas in a pod! Too cute! Christmas Dinner was great and we had a great time!

Christmas 2006

I think this just about covers everyone on Christmas except for me. (I was taking pictures.) The day was quiet and great all at the same time. The kids had fun and it was really nice to have a Christmas that wasn't as much about the stuff. I am hoping that we do this every year, since it was nice to read the Christmas Story in the morning and then head down to the tree at about 7 am. (We are convinced there is more enjoyment after 6 am!)
