State Basketball Champs

Rickey was very happy to be involved with another State championship team. Unfortunatley he broke his ankle growth plate mid-season, but was still able to play in one of the state tournie games. Jeff made his delicious Argentine meat for the whole basketball team for one of the team dinners that we hosted at our home.


Here's the net cutting down ceremony.




Loyal fans--Spencer being one of the most faithful orange fans, but not completely orange like the guy below. Although I wondered if it was Spencer for a long time until I saw him elsewhere.
Jeff coached MIkelle's team where they had a heart-breaking loss in the championship game!!

Sarah lost her very first tooth last night (June 24, 2010) She was so happy. Here's the new look.

Loving being with both Grandma's. (She didn't want this photo.)


One more photo she didn't want.

Sarah can hang with the roughest of them and she always wants to be included. She's one tough cookie and won't wimp out on any adventure we bring her on.

Timothy loves music!

These have been sitting around waiting for me to post FOREVER but I wanted to add my favorite clip of him singing when he was 12 months old, but I have tried dozens of times to get it to post, and it always fails, so I'm just going to post it as it is. Maybe some day I'll get to add my favorite song. Meanswhile enjoy some sweet tunes.


Here's Timothy's first birthday. He loved to sing and one of the words we could recognize was "gramma" It's a little long, but I couldn't make it work without an editing program.



This is when he was into his Mulan phase at age 2 and a half. He loved Mulan and all of the songs, but especially this one. Sometimes I would bust him singing into the fan, "La La Luke. . .I am your father." I guess you can tell he's the youngest and has been exposed to older brothers. He's never even seen "Tommy Boy", but he's heard his brothers sing it into the fan and he learns quick.



Tiny Turtle Tim Song from Nursery


He learned the ABC's at age two, and loved to sing them all of the time.


Here we are at a breakfast at BYU where Timothy randomly started dancing when the music sank in.
