OLD PHOTOS



  

I LOOK THROUGH THESE OLD PHOTOS, AND I WONDER WHERE THE TIME GOES.  THEY JUST GROW UP SO FAST.  I BLINK MY EYES, AND I HAVE ONE ALREADY IN JUNIOR HIGH.  TIME IS FLYING RIGHT BY, AND MY KIDS ARE GROWING TO FAST.

SAYING GOOD BYE TO 2010

 I STARTED MY CHRISTMAS VACATION WITH ANOTHER EXTRADITION TO LOVINGTON, NEW MEXICO.  WE DECIDED TO DRIVE DOWN INSTEAD OF FLYING.  SO WE COULD WATCH THE MEXICO BOWL. IT WAS  WELL WORTH THE TRIP, AND OUR INMATE HANDLED HIMSELF RATHER WELL.

 WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS WITH KIDS.  WE INVITED HOLLIE'S PARENT OVER TO THE HOUSE.

I WRAPPED AN EMPTY GUN BOX, AND I PUT BRAYDEN'S NAME ON IT, AND I PUT IT UNDER THE TREE. WHEN HE UNWRAPPED  THE BOX, HE THOUGHT HE WAS GETTING A NEW SHOTGUN, UNTIL HE OPENED THE BOX, AND I SAW NOTHING THERE.  LET JUST SAY, HE WAS A LITTLE UPSET. WE HAD TO TELL HIM TO LOOK IN THE CLOSET.  THEN HE SAW HIS GUN IN A GUN CASE.  HE WAS A EXCITED KID. HOLLIE DOESN'T LIKE THE PICTURE, BUT I THINK IT'S FUNNY, AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT IN.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT WE WENT TO SEE HOLLIE'S GRANDMA TO WISH HER A MERRY CHRISTMAS.  TWO DAY LATER, SHE PASSED AWAY.  SHE HAS BEEN ILL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.  I THINK IT WAS A BLESSING, BUT WE STILL MISS HER A LOT.

BRIGHAM CITY INVITATIONAL CHAMPS!!!

IT STARTED OUT VERY COLD, AND IT ENDED EVEN COLDER.  THE FIELD WAS SOLID AS CEMENT, BUT THEY PULLED OUT THE VICTORY 26 TO 6.  BRAYDEN STATED HE WASN'T EVEN COLD, BUT FOR HOLLIE AND I, WE HAVE TO DISAGREE.  FOOTBALL IS FINALLY OVER FOR THIS YEAR.

I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS VIDEO CLIP OF BRYADEN'S LAST KICK OFF.  I'M GOING TO SEND IT TO AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEO.  I DON'T THINK I WILL WIN, BUT IT'S STILL FUNNY.

BRIGHAM CITY INVITATIONAL

The Tournament started last Saturday at Brigham City.  They played Brigham City who made it to the second round of the playoffs.  Talk about being cold it was freezing and snowing.  It was a one sided game, but it was fun to watch from our side of the field.  Brayden started both sides of the field (wide receiver and outside linebacker), and he was the kicker.  Brayden was able to score a TOUCHDOWN, and he was excited to see the video.  He also had some great kicks of 50 yards or so.  The score was a lot to a little (36 to 0).  The next game is on Thanksgiving Day.

FALL IS OVER

THE FALL SPORTS SEASON IS OVER.  BRAYDEN DID VERY WELL IN SOCCER AND IN FOOTBALL. HIS FOOTBALL TEAM WILL BE PLAYING IN THANKSGIVING TOURNAMENT IN BRIGHAM CITY.  BRAYDEN WILL ALSO BE PLAYING INDOOR SOCCER IN KAYSVILLE.  BRAYDEN ALSO GRADUATED FROM HUNTER SAFETY, AND HE IS LEGAL TO HUNT.  LEXI FINISHED UP WITH SOCCER, AND SHE WILL BE PLAYING INDOOR AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.  SHE IS PLAYING BASKETBALL, AND SHE IS PLAYING POINT GUARD.  KELSIE FINISHED SOCCER, AND SHE JUST WANTS TO BE CLOSE TO HER DAD. 

BOSTON EXTRADITION

MY FRIEND AND I WERE ABLE TO GO ON A EXTRADITION TO BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.  WE SPEND THE WHOLE DAY MONDAY GOING THROUGH BOSTON. 

WE CAME ACROSS THE MAN WHO STARTED PROBATION IN THE US.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY, I WAS SO AMAZED HOW NICE AND CLEAN BOSTON WAS, AND WE ATE EVERYTHING.

MONDAY'S NIGHT, WE HAD TICKETS TO THE RED SOCK'S GAME. IT WAS PACKED.

IT WAS SOMETHING TO REMEMBER. 

WE HAD GREAT SEATS FOUR ROWS FROM THE FIELD.



  THIS IS STROUD (MY PARTNER & FRIEND)


 



 AFTER THE GAME, WE PAID AND TOOK A TOUR OF THE GREEN MONSTER.

THE FOLLOWING DAY, TWO PROBATION AGENTS THAT HAD ARE GUY WITH TWO STATE POLICE OFFICERS, AND THEY ESCORTED US TO THE PLANE TO GO HOME.  THE TRIP WAS WELL WORTH IT.
