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.

Hi Ho Hi Ho It's to the Zoo we go........

It's tough being cute.

Meet the baby elephant

Cute Vanessa and baby Gabe

Ready for a day of fun in the sun at the zoo with my family.

Sunday Sept 27, 2009

Today Roger and I took our kids and baby Gabe to the zoo. It was great. The weather was nice, and although there was alot of people.... it wasn't too packed. We were able to see the new baby elephant and the new baby tigers, baby giraffe, and baby snow leopard. All of which were soooo darn cute. But the cutest baby of all OF COURSE..... was Gabriel. Uncle Matt and Aunt Britt helped alot with the baby and we all had a great time. Thanks kids. I love you all sooo very much.

Homecoming 2009

It's that time of year again. Sad to think that this is Britt's last year of high school and even worse that she is our youngest child. She looked so beautiful and Marco of course looked very handsome. A night of Sushi, dance, and then late night bowling with a bunch of friends.

Oktoberfest 2009

Roger, Britt, Vanessa, Gabriel and myself went to Oktoberfest last weekend at Snowbird. It was very nice. The weather was great. Not too cold, Not too hot. The food was good, and of course so was the beer. It is so nice having Vanessa and Gabriel living with us. We do so much together now. Roger and I just can't get enough of the little guy. He is growing so fast and is so fun.
