Skating Fun




Got to go ice skating with some family members and friends. It was lots of fun to see everyone and visit.

Kael got to try out his warm suit from grandma and Kiersten was lots of help with Coy on the ice.

Thank you so much to Teri for inviting us!!

Great sports day!

Kiersten participated in his last home (and season) swim meet today. He did the medley, 50 free and 100 free. He broke his personal best time on the medley and then broke it again in the 50 free. He was pretty excited. Then along came the 100 free and he broke that personal record too. He is thrilled and said it was a "great" day! Not to mention he is loving his sleep now that morning practices are over. No more rise and shine at 5am for him~ He keeps telling me he can tell that life will be so much easier now!

Kiley played basketball in Roosevelt. (His dad and Kael went and enjoyed the game too) He reported that he had a great game. He had a free throw, 3 pointer and a lay up. He said the Roosevelt team was terrible but they did make a small comeback in the 2nd half. He got new shoes the other night as his previous ones had ripped and were hurting his knees. He informed me this morning that he now needs a plain black pair to wear on his away games since his new ones are white and would be great for home games. LOL Typical Ki, you are always thinking!

We are so proud of both of you. Keep it up!

Awesome 3 pointer!

Kiley had 2 home games this week. He got to be a starter on Tuesday and had his "career" game high in points. He played hard and looked great while MAKING his free throws.
In Friday's game, he played hard and also made an amazing 3 pointer!! He was thrilled and excited.
Kaylee told me that Kiley must be made out of rubber because when he gets hit hard and crashes to the ground he jumps right back up. He is a great defender and takes some pretty hard hits. I agree. Kiley are you rubber?

alumni meet



Kiersten participated in an alumni swim meet this morning. It took a little work but I finally got a smile and a good one too! When he was done swimming his 50 free he says he is bummed because he didn't beat his own time but he is "joyful" because he beat Adam!!! He will be in a good mood the rest of the day.

Happy 2009

It was pretty low key at our house for bringing in the New Year. Kiersten and Kiley went to the 4 stake dance and rang in the New Year with all of their friends. They had a great time and enjoyed the company (much better than mom and dad) As for Kim and Kael they were both snoozing as the clock struck 12am HAPPY NEW YEAR and WELCOME 2009. At the stroke of midnight I was driving to pick up the boys from the dance so I just thought to myself "happy new years" and that was my excitement for the big night.
The boys were full of energy when they got home and Kiley rocked on the guitar until way past 2:30am and was thrilled to get his highest score yet.
We were just about as exciting on New Years day. Kim worked outside on his project for the whole day battling the ice, snow and cold.
Kiley rocked on the guitar some more and then finally went to hang out with some friends. Before he left he shared his Happy New Year pose decked out like Elton John (which did not impress Kim)


Kiersten spent most of his day in his room reading and learning. He finally hung out with his mom for a while and then also went and joined his friends. (I loved the time together) He also said this was his best smile. Kiersten was also quoted as saying "2009 is going to be GREAT" when asked why, he just said he could tell. Not that 2008 was bad 2009 would just be better.

I finally got a snapshot of Kael posing in Kiley's cool hat and he looks like he is enjoying it. You can tell he is telling everyone Happy New Years!
