Juan Diego Catholic HS at State quarter finals

Well..... for the second time in the history of our school, our girl's basketball team made it this far. Unfortuneately... we lost. This was the best season EVER for the girls and it was a great learning experience for the players and parents a like. Thanks to a wonderful boss and awesome co-workers, I was able to attend all but one of my daughter's games this season. That means the WORLD to me and Britt. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Baby Gabe

He loves to stand and is very anxious to walk

He's going in a pool for the very first time. Look at his cute trunks!

Dressed to work out

Ready for a bigger car seat

I can't believe he is already 8 months old. He has 3 teeth (working on the 4th), loves to eat whatever we eat, and is such a joy to have. I truly love being a grandma!!

Deserve VICTORY.

This is this years girl's basketball team motto. They have come a LONG way this season. They have worked hard, and even with 3 girls needing knee surgery during this season...(ONE of the girls was my own Britt) we have made it to the Playoffs and hope to win the State Championship!! After missing several games due to having knee surgery for a torn meniscus and a strained ACL, Britt played last Friday which was the first game in the playoffs and was the leading scorer with 14 points. Her team did awesome!! We are so very proud of her. That night she was was on channel 2 news making a shot and the team was highlighted. If you are interested, you can see what was said about Britt and her team at http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700010822/High-school-basketball-Soaring-Eagle-sail-into-second-round-of-girls-3A-tourney.html Stay tuned to find out if we win. UVU...HERE WE COME!!!

February

This month we had "Senior Night" before our last home game. On this night we have 2 seniors on the varsity team and this was their night to say "goodbye". They were each given a Juan Diego basketball signed by all of the teammates, flowers, balloons, candy, a cute basketball shaped scrapbook with a note to each girl from their teammates, and a professional picture of both of them together on the court and individual action shots. It was exciting and bitter sweet at the same time. Oh, and did I mention.... we won that night!! Sorry Morgan H.S.

Time Flies when you're having fun (or really busy)

So.... I know that I've been slacking on my blog. This past weekend I actually found time to download some pictures off of our camera so now I will try to get my blog up to date.Here we goooooo.

In July we finally finished baby Gabe's room. It turned out pretty cute. The pictures don't do it any justice, but you get the picture. Roger's Oma (grandma) passed away.

In August our youngest daughter began her senior year of high school. I can't believe it!!!!!

In September we had 2 weddings in the family within 2 weeks of each other. Both on Roger's side of the family.

October -not too eventful.

November- Roger and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary. As a gift to eachother we flew to Colorado (my home state) and had a GREAT time visiting with my Uncle, Aunt and cousins.

December - This year we had a very nice holiday season. All of us were happy and healthy and had Christmas at our house together. It was baby Gabe's first Christmas and it's was so cute watching him get so excited over just the wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, and boxes. I can't wait for this year when he'll be old enough to truly enjoy his gifts and open them himself.

January - A busy new year. Winter's ball for Britt. Britt and Marco look so cute in pink. Britt's basketball season is well underway and we have been working in concessions every home game, went to Richfield with the team to chaperone, and had a fun time.
