Friday Night Lights

The cheerleaders made signs for all of the varsity football players.
Trevor is enjoying football season, he is playing JV and some Varsity. I am fine with him playing very little Varsity at this time in his high school career. He is tall (6'1" ish), but he is still skinny and not as heavy as some of those BIG BOYS. He can hang with the big boys, but he got injured in a JV game and I can just imagine what they could do to him in a Varsity game. He is a hard working player and plays to his limit every game. HE LEAVES EVERYTHING ON THE FIELD with NOT REGRETS!!! I love that he plays like that, but it worries me.

Trevor and "The Girl Next Door" our neighbor-Jocelyn Trevor and Grandma and Grandpa AhQuin
"Yes", he is as tall as Grandpa AhQuin
Trevor with 2 of his football buddies after a varsity game-Connor Parry & Zack Kennedy 2 of the cheerleaders wanted to jump into the picture with the HOT football players! Trevor and Connor heading to the locker room Till next Friday, for more Friday Night Lights!!!!

War Wounds

Cecilee loves soccer and loves her war wounds that come with her rough play. She was cleated on the thigh part of her leg. This was the day after the game.

Cambria trying to be funny, with her hand hiding something. hahaha

Hawaii Time

My first sunrise in Hawaii. I woke up at 6:00am (because the time difference is 4 hrs.) I realized I was in Hawaii and I tore open the drapes, and this is what I saw.

I for sure found time to lay at the beach and enjoyed being the ONLY one on the beach.

Clay's 40th Surprise Luau

Clay turned 40 and Julee had a surprise luau for him, of course that meant the whole family is involved in the entertainment. It's always fun to see everyone entertain. I am a self nominated photographer, so I don't have to entertain. Clay was not surprised, he totally put it all together before the surprise. We still had fun and had wonderful friends and family there to celebrate. He was called to be Bishop a week before his birthday. What a great present. He will be a great Bishop.
Kali and Janessa's little dance class performed a hula.

Then Tia and some of the neices: Cambria, Kiana, Tayvia, Raya & Lisia

The boys did the HAKA, lead by Major.

And the finale was a dance by the girls again, dedicated to Clay.
The last present of the evening was a beautiful slideshow that Julee put together for him about "Through The Years". So much fun was had by everyone.

"...When There's Love At Home"

We had another evening full of fighting, teasing, being mean to each other, ABSOLUTELY NO LOVE AT HOME!!!! So Bryan made dinner and we all sat down as a HAPPY FAMILY, and even during dinner-passing the food- there is fighting, glaring and scowling going on. So after we all eat, Bryan says, "NO LEAVING THE TABLE, we are having a family meeting right here among the dirty dishes." So he started off with a game, "Cecilee, say something nice about the person across from you (Cambria)" very generic, "She has pretty eyes". "Cambria say something about the person to your left (Sydnee)" another generic answer, "She is funny". "Sydnee say something about the person across from you (Trevor)" Another "He's good at Football" then "Trevor say something about the person to your left (Cecilee) NO THOUGHT AT ALL "She's very good at soccer".

Then he started around the table and had each one of us tell something that we admire about everyone at the table. He started and went around, then Cambria's turn and then Sydnee. That's when we ALL started crying. She said, "Trevor, I am very proud to be your sister and I am grateful that you aren't ashamed that I am your sister. And I love to watch you play sports." Everyone took their turn and the spirit was soooo strong.

"There is Beauty ALL AROUND when There's LOVE at Home!!!!"

I love family time like this!!!

I have another adult living in my home. That totals 4 adults , 2 kids. WOW!!! What happened to our children? Cecilee is our 2nd child who has and continues to bring soooo much spunk and spice to our family. She is and has always been loud and a joker. She is very competitive and loves to be the first and make sure she wins. She is the type of person that everyone falls in love with because of her personality. She makes everyone laugh and she can also intimidate people. The saying, "To Know Her is to Love Her" is soooo true!!!
