Beach Dreamer: The Scoop

Here's the scoop on the Family!

Alex is living up in Orem, starting school this week. This will be his 2nd semester at UVSC. It has been a painful last couple of months. He has had to work, wor

k and more work to earn enough money for tuition. You see, if he had gotten better grades the last semester, he would have been able get a student loan or grant, but he had to do it the hard way. I suppose in the long run it is a blessing. He hates work, so he doesn't see it that way. Alex wants a job that starts at 10 and ends at 3-4pm. No weekends and all Fri and holidays off. NOT! He is not dating anyone in particular(which doesn't make his mom happy), but he text's over 2ooo text's a month. wonder who he talks too?

Jameson is doing great, he plays basketball, he just finished with football. He was named to the 1st team All Region for Utah as a defensive lineman. He was mighty proud.
He received his letterman jacket for Christmas. Now it's official, he is a jock! He got dressed up on Dec 20th for Senior Ball. He is only a junior, but a very nice junior who will use any excuse to rent a tux and go out on a date. He is enjoying the game room out back and entertains his friends constantly with xbox 360 and hottub parties. Life is good when your 17!

*the black eye in the pic is from a great BBall game, he went for a ball and collided with 2 other kids, I think he is still trying to play football!

Kellon hates this pic, I am looking for another one.

Jameson at his latest game.

Kellon is our social butterfly. He loves to text and usually has 2-3 conversions going on at anyone time. Yes with girls. He has a few. He says thay are only friends, but he blushes when you ask. He too schedules our game room for "parties". Xbox, movies, and sometimes hot tub, but only hottub with the guys. No girls allowed for that. Kellon is most generally happy, except when his big brother gets after him. He is a tease and loves to get into it with Dad.

Kellon played on the freshman team this year. He was a defensive lineman (must run in the family)too. His team went undefeated this year. He is in training now for the next football season. He wanted to weightlift all during Christmas, he was going thru withdrawals.

Tanner is our quiet child. He is into Xbox, computer games and for Christmas he got a Ipod.
Tanner just turned 13, so he is officially a teenager. He also plays football and loves doing it. He will start his basketball this next week. Tanner is working on his Star in scouts, and isn't very excited about it. (It's a mom thing, but they will thank me when they are older, I hope).

Tanner got braces this year, and will be done with them quickly. He also picked up the electric guitar. He plays quite a bit.

Annee is our Princess, as the boys say. They say she is spoiled. I say she is a girl. They are more privledged than boys. She keeps us smiling, and happy around here. Her favorite thing this year was going to the Hannah Montana concert. Mom surprised her and took her to see it. She didn't even know. She also is in the process of braces. She has a palate extender right now. She has moved her teeth so far apart that we can put 3 pennies in between her front teeth, but who's counting.

Annee at the concert. she didn't stop smiling!

The day will come when she has beautiful teeth to go along with her beautiful smile. Mom and Dad will be poor, but all that matters is that they have good teeth.

Those three pennies. We had to have proof.

Eddie is doing great. He is still working at Midstate's and like Alex, he hates his job too, but when you are a Dad you sometimes have to do things you don't like. The only thing he hates about it, is that he has to travel and be away from his family. We don't like it either, but what do you do? Eddie had a big birthday this year, the big 45. Now he is as old as me. He remind me quite regularly that I am older. Some of his favorite things to do is to watch his kids play ball. To wrestle with his kids and to play xbox. He is getting pretty good at guitar hero. Then of course his most favorite thing to do is to go to the beach with me. We look forward to each and every trip away together. It keeps our sanity.
