Brody has been trying very hard to talk. He has recently learned how to say "I Love You" and he is very proud of it. So here is Brody saying I Love you. ( I forgot to open the shutters so the color is a little off)

On Sunday we went down the street to the school were the church was holding a trunk or treat. It's a lot of fun! People from the church decorate the trunks of their cars and they also dress up and the kids get to trick or treat. They also had a bounce house and a giant slide.

Hi! we have been so busy the last couple of weeks I don't know were to start.

Brandon celebrated his 15th birthday with the family, he was still fighting a cold but he had a good time anyway. Brandon is almost done with water polo he has one game tonight and he has a break until Dec. 1st when he starts his winter camp. The high school likes the athletes to be active in some sport all year round so they stay in shape.His J.V. team placed second in there division, that is the closest that Roseville has ever come to winning in water polo and we are all very proud of them. Brandon is also going to be putting in his first job application at the Melting Pot, his uncle Daniel is a manager there and he is going to put in a good word for him. He is so excited to start working and making his own money.

Logan has started his second half of soccer season and his team is doing great, they have won all there games. Logan and Brody have been spending a lot of time with their friends J.T. and Brendan. They come over three days a week to play while their mommy and daddy are at work. We took all the kids out to the pumpkin patch with gramma and we have a great time.

My good friend Kim and her husband Tony and their son Anthony came up to visit last weekend. We met them at apple hill and the kids had fun running around and climbing on everything, the rest of us had fun eating. That night Kim and I got to go out by ourselves and catch up. We went to the Melting Pot and talked for 3 1/2 hours, it was a nice break.

Evan has been very busy to he has been working lots of overtime which is great but also exhausting. He also was able to get away for a hunting trip with some of the fireman, his dad, and my brother Danny. They had a good time even though they did not shoot any deer and Even tried to kill everyone with his very spicy chili with his secret ingredient - a lot of cinnamon. Evan has also enjoyed watching all of Brandon's games with the other dads. They all stand in a group together and cheer the boys on.

Welcome!

Hi everyone! I decided that it would be fun to start a blog of our family. The boys are involved in so many activities I thought it would be nice to keep you all updated. So here we go.......

October 7, 2008 Brandon - Brandon is going to be 15 tomorrow I can't believe it. He has been so busy with water polo that we hardly get to see him. He is finishing up his last year on J.V. and the team has done very good loosing only two games this season. Their championship games are this Friday and Saturday. After that is over the varsity coach has asked Brandon to continue to practice with the varsity team and play in their next two tournaments. He is also doing really well in school and has been able to keep a 3.o since he started high school, so we are very proud of him. Brandon is also involved in the dance program at school. He will be traveling to junior highs and elementary schools in the area to perform. He will also be in a holiday show in December. The family all went to his show in the spring and it was amazing to see how well the kids can dance from just learning at school.

Logan - Logan is also very busy this fall, he is playing soccer and water polo. He has played 4 soccer games this year and he just scored his first goal last Saturday, he was so excited. He has a great time because his really good friend J.T. is on his team as well as some new friends from school. Logan also has water polo practice two days a week and he is loving it. He cannot wait to jump in that pool every Wednesday and Sunday. Logan is also doing well at school and his kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Wall. I get to help in his class every Wednesday and it has been a blast. Logan is also looking forward to Halloween. He has chosen to be a vampire this year and has already had fun trying on his costume.

Brody - Brody is doing great he is busy learning to talk, he can say so many words now it's great and he is really proud of himself. Brody also is in gymnastics along with his two neighbor friends Brendan and Emery. He has so much fun bouncing and climbing and it makes it even more fun that he is with his friends. Brody also loves to cheer on his brothers at their games. He sits on the side and yells GO! GO! It is so funny. Brody has also been practicing for Halloween, he has decided to be a firefighter.
