Turkey Bowl 2008!!

Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed another year of the Turkey Bowl.. We had a blast can't wait to see you all next year :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you all how thankful I am for good friends and family. All day I have been thinking about last year. We were all so happy and healthly and if I had ever thought that within the next few weeks our happy little world would be turned upside down - I wouldn’t have believed you.

But last year two weeks after Thanksgiving, my little sister was involved in a horrible car accident and her son (J.T.), my nephew passed away at 5 weeks old. This was not only devastating for my sister and her husband but for our family as well.

Two months later (Feb 11th) my mother was diagnosed with Leukemia. She was admitted directly from the Doctors office to the hospital where she stayed until June. There were several times during this long hospital stay and the three other hospital admits that we thought she wasn’t going to make it, but I am happy to report that my mother is here with us celebrating Thanksgiving this year and is getting stronger everyday.

Like I said earlier thinking back on last year, I wouldn't have believed that our family would be tested in our faith as we have. I am so thankful for God's blessings.... He has blessed my sister and her husband with another child…. Little Jesse. He is so sweet and I am so happy to see my sister happy again. My mother while the road to remission has been hard - she has persevered and has beat this horrible disease again.

I am Thankful for husband and my two wonderful boys (DJ and Brayden) they mean the world to me…. I am also thankful for my awesome family and friends. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!!!

UTAH vs. BYU Game

David was able to get tickets to the Utah game from RJ Sanford #25. Our good friends the Van Leeuwens invited us to spend the night in the tail gate lot on Friday night.. Can you say PARTY!!! It was a great weekend and we had so much fun. Thanks Jon and Chrissy for the invite.

To anyone who reads my blog you may realize I havn't posted much this month. It has been so crazy between home and work I just haven't had a chance to sit and think. So I am going to catch you up on our month of November.....

First Oct and Nov Birthdays.... I hope you all had a wonderful day...



With football over we had our team banquet at Rock Creek Pizza it was a great night. It was sad to say goodbye to all the families we meet this year but we also made some great friends. Coach Heugly said so many wonderful things about DJ when he was giving DJ his gift... he told everyone how DJ was a leader for this team and how much he had improved since last year. It makes me feel good as a parent to hear others talk about your son in such postitive ways.

Twlight Premiere

I was able to go the Twlight premiere. It was great to spend time out with the girls. I had so much fun thanks again for the invite Renee....

So last year we had such a great group of families on our football team we started a Turkey Bowl. So it's that time again. Calling all Flag Football enthusiest..... It is time for our annual TURKEY BOWL... So if you can pull yourself off the couch away from the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and would like to come out and play with us just let me know.

Happy Birthday J.T.

I can't beleive that this year has gone by so fast. You would be one, WOW. I thought about this day a year ago and hoping on a plane on a total whim to come and see my new baby nephew. I am so thankful that I was able to meet and hold you. I remember everyone saying let someone else hold him and I keep telling them "I only get this one day". I can't tell you how thankful for that one day I am. Even though you were only here with us for a short time you have left an impression on our hearts forever. We think of you often and love and miss you very much.
