SNOW DAY!!! YEA!!! Dec 18, 2008

Schools out, it snowed like crazy in a place it isn't supposed to, so what else do you do???




Jagger's 1st Snowman!!! His brothers enjoyed it as much as he did. He & Jalen were singing Frosty the Snowman the whole time.


How FUN!!!





Coach Weaver


Jade is having a blast being the Assistant coach this year at Desert Hills High School. He is so good with the kids and all the boys really look up to him and respect him. I think this is his calling in life! Jalen even thinks it is cool. They have a young team with a lot of inexperienced wrestlers and he takes the time to work with them and show them the moves...GOOD JOB, JADE! I am proud of you!

Jalen's AWARDS!!!

Jalen's wrestling team took 2nd place at the Hurricane Tournament last week. Jalen took 1st and went undefeated 9-0. He was voted Most Outstanding Wrestler for the tournament. Pretty good for a sophomore!!! This is the Panguitch Tournament held on Dec 5 & 6. Jalen took 3rd place.
Jalen's football awards ceremony was held in November. He got the "MR FOOTBALL" award for thre JV team. (MVP). Pretty cool, the coaches just love him. They said, "this kid can do anything from catch, run, defend, hit, intercept and pass the ball. They said he is a role model on the field and in the classroom.


The coveted MR FOOTBALL trophy.



I'm so proud of him. Way to go!!!

Family Pics

Well, we finally got it together and did it...A FAMILY PICTURE! We were actually all together this weekend for Thanksgiving and talked (forced) everyone into going to get a picture taken. So here it is Brooklynn, Jade, Riley, Jalen, Shane, Kerri & Jagger.

Well, a little catching up to do with no photos today...Lets see, football is over, wrestling has started and Dora the Explorer is very popular at our house. Football ended on a rather strange note for our family. It so happens, that Jalen and Riley are in the same Region and both teams had the worst records in the region. There are 4 teams total in the region and they only took 3 to state playoffs...so that meant the game between Jalen(Desert Hills) and Riley(Canyon View) was the decision maker for who got to go to playoffs. It turns out DH won and Jalen got to go. He was pretty excited and Riley felt pretty bad. How do you cheer for both sides and be happy for one and sad for another at the same time....Well anyway, DH went on to play Logan in the first game of playoffs and lost, so football is now over. Wrestling has started and Jalen has began to suck weight...I hate this part. Jade is an assistant coach at Desert Hills and is helping Jalen a lot. It is pretty weird to see his name on things as "Coach Weaver", but I think its pretty cute. Jagger is so into Dora right now, we finally have him convinced that she is a girl. It took at least a week for this to be accepted and sink in, but I think he has it now. The one thing he wants everyone to know is he is "JAGGER BOY!". Not to be confused with Dude, guy, or any other thing you might call him. I will put more pics on later...
