January Events

January 2013 started like all the others, Basketball season with baseball practices inbetween, sprinkled with some snowboarding! Well for the boys that is, the girls are busy with gymnastics. Ryan is coaching Treven's team and the finally, to Treven's excitement had their first game. Treven loves to play sports but has a hard time practicing and just wants to play in games. Treven did a good job and loved showing off his moves! Tyler also has started and has some good ball handling skills! Those early morning basketball practices have payed off! Tyler got asked to be on a new excellerated baseball team along with his dad to help coach so Ryan is busy helping with Tyler's team too!

I loved how Ryan told me early in our marriage that he didn't want to always be coaching our kids, and well know we have been married 14 years and since the boys have been old enough to play sports other when the years he was going to school and working Ryan has coached one way or another. Even before kids he was coaching football! I am proud of Ryan and the time he puts in with the kids and the kids love having him coach! Now I just have to keep him going until the girls and done with their sport years!

Tyler did a lot of snowboarding over Christmas and hasn't made it up the mountain again, but me and the kids have had some fun going sledding and enjoying the snow in other ways. Last Saturday Tyler had a indoor soccer game and got to play keeper or goalie. We have always told the coaches to not have Treven play that position since his endless energy is great for playing a forward, but he did an awesome job and keep his head in the game the whole time! He has loved playing indoor soccer this season.

Emery started gymnastics with her friend Swayer and loved every minute of it! She couldn't wait to go back. That is if her back is feeling better! I have been working a lot  the last couple of weeks and you know your child is spending to much time with Grandma Roses when she comes home and tells me, "I can't carry the art box mommy oh my back hurts" and then is looking for a rice pack. That is soo my mom since she does have back problems and a rice pack and Grandma Roses go hand in hand! Emery also likes everyone to know that if you eating something she likes then she will tell you, "We are supposed to share everything you know" and then will go right ahead and take your food or drink. The only problem is if you try that on on her and then sharing isn't an option! She is truly a ham and we love it!

Halle is doing so good in school and is already reading at a D level. She loves to read and will pick out big books and look through them finding words she knows. Halle is another ball of energy like her brother and loves gymnastics and is always doing cart wheels and sommersalts to get around the house!

Treven is doing so well with his tutor and his reading is improving along with his math skills! We are so proud of him and all the hard work he puts in with his school work! Treven is also starting to learn the piano and has enjoyed learning from his Grandma Carolee and we appreicate her sharing her talent with our family!

Tyler starts his 3rd term and had another term of straight A's. He is excited to start Spanish and Art this term. Tyler is keeping busy with baseball, basketball and guitar lessons. He has an amazing ear and loves to pull a song he wants to learn on you tube and after watching and listening a couple of times he is playing the song!

I always start the year off with resolutions. Last year was "Thy will be done" and boy did Heavenly Father make sure I learned this lesson. His will be done and if I want to be on the right track then I better lesson to his will.

This year my motto is going to be "Come what may and love it!" Oh and take more pictures! I haven't taken any pictures in Jan.
