Christmas! New digs

For Christmas Jett and Kael both were spoiled with many wonderful gifts. Jett loves his new Elmo outfit and Kael his Camo beanie and long John PJ's.

BSU Gameday attire

Boise State played University of Utah in the Las Vegas Macco Bowl. They of course dominated the game! Before the game we went to Wal Mart as a family to pick up some essentials for the game.

Dad's Suit Coat

After church last Sunday I laid my coat on the table and when I came back a few min. later Jett had put my coat on and was standing on the table.

Jett's first haircut

We finally gave in and decided to get Jett's first haircut! His fohawk was getting out of control so we didn't have much of a choice. I still want to grow it out, not a mullet but longer.

Trip to California

Once again for the what felt like hundreth time we made the drive back home to California. Yes Idaho is happpily our home but Galt and California will always been home too us. Galt Alumni was playing Amador alumni in a football game at Galt High School so I tried to act like I was still young and played. Next time I will just stick with offense since I was hurt and out of breath by the end of the 2nd quarter. We made our usual stops to the Galt taco truck, In and Out Burger, and Spanns cookies. It was so wonderful to spend time with friends and family. It's hard not being able to hang out whenever we want. Everyones kids are getting so big! While we were in Galt I of course sported Boise State attire and I flew my car flag around town. I recieved both good and bad honks from other drivers. Kael and I went snail hunting in Uncle Craig's front yard and of course we took them home as pets to Idaho. The trip back home was of course just as long as the trip down except this time Kael threw up in the back seat of the car not even halfway through the trip. I finally got the smell out of my Honda. All in all it was a wonderful trip! Thank you to the Skinners for putting us up for our few days! We love you!

Grant's Sealing Day

We traveled down to Salt Lake to be apart of my little sister Savannah's high school graduation, my nephew Grant's baby blessing and his temple sealing at the Bountiful Utah Temple with my other sister Kira and my brother in law Mike. It was a very exciting and eventful week-end!

Graduation Day 2010 E.d.S.

On Sat. May 8th, 2010 one year after recieving my M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction I recieved my E.d.S educational specialist degree! There were five of us that recieved this degree and it is currently the highest degree that N.N.U offers until the doctorate program is approved and implemented into the universiy. Karyn, Kael, Jett, and my Mom were all in attendance. I never thought I would complete this much school and yes I decided to start my doctorate next year. More student loans, yes! I will only have around 15 more credits and the biggest part will be my research. Thank you to all my family for all your support and encouragement!

Galt High Alumni Football Game

In Jan. we traveled back to my hometown of Galt,Ca which is about 30 min south of Sacramento, Ca. It was great to play football on Ca soil for the first time since 1995. The odd graduate years played the even graduates. Needless to say we lost big time and my shoulders were killing me for a month or so after but it was worth it. There were around 2,000 people in attendance and it was like a really big reunion. I saw people that I hadn't seen in years. Can't wait to play next year!
