What If?? (teasin)
Remember when we hiked the Timp caves?
That was fun!

Happy Birthday Kays and Dusters!

We all hope you guys had a great day. Dusting, blog and tell us what you did on your birthday and what you got in your packages. We love you!!

Kaley had a little surprise party at the Black Bear Diner. Mom and Dad had a few of her friends meet us there and we surprised her and had brunch. It was fun. Her friends gave her some nice gifts and I think she was really surprised. Here's a short video of the "surprise"... even though you can't see Kays that great.

Happy Birthday Julie!

We love you and hope you have a great day!!!

Pictures of Kaley

Here are some pictures of Kaley's game. A lot of them are blurry because my camera stinks. But they're fun to see anyway.

CLICK HERE TO SEE THEM!!!!

slow down my beating heart

I watched Kaley play tonight against the undefeated Miramonte. Wow! My heart was seriously pounding... it was a rush. Kaley did awesome. First of all, she started and played almost the ENTIRE game. It was so fun and exciting. Every time a new sub would come in she was assume it was for her and would almost run out and then when she realized she wasn't being taken out her face looked surprised. It was cute. Anyway, the team they played was crazy. HUGE girls and very violent. I would have been terrified. But NGHS played so well. They really never gave up and it was a great game. Kaley scored 5 points, I think and had some assists. Although when it comes to the stats... I don't know much. Ask Dad. Anyway, I took some pictures which I'll post tomorrow and here's a video of the starting line-up. Great job Kaley. You're an awesome player.

Scripture Reading.....

Ok, for those of you who are doing the challenge, you should be through 1 Nephi 21 today. That's 3 chapters a day since last Monday. We might have to adjust the amounts per day in a little while but for now this is good.

HOW IS IT GOING? DID EVERYONE DO IT?

Something that I read that I really liked this week is 1 Nephi 14:14. I always worry about my kids growing up and going out into the "world". In this chapter it is talking about the church of the devil (which I consider to be the world) and how it will gather together to fight against the church of God. Scary. It is hard to stand against the world. But in vs. 14 it says that the people of God will be "armed with righteousness and with the power of God" in order to fight the world. Of course we and our kids can fight the world because we have God on our side. I liked that part.

Did you have anything stand out to you?? Did you learn something new?

Oh and Michelle, you said you wanted to join and we would love to have you do the challenge with us and feel free to comment!!

Thanks for doing this with me guys!!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY DAVE!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

A Challenge Anyone???

Guys. Today I have challenged myself to read the Book of Mormon from front to back cover by April 15th. I know we are studying the New Testament at church so obviously that is important to read too, but I just really need to read the BOM. So, does anyone want to join me??? I plan on doing personal reading everyday and also, to help myself out, we will be reading where I am with the family at night too. We've been doing the picture scripture books with the kids for awhile but I'm going to try just reading the plain old scriptures to them and see how it goes. Anyway, the challenge is to start today and finish on April 15th. If you want to do it, comment here and we'll help eachother keep up on it.

Thanks, love you guys,

Denae

Early B-day!

So Mom gave me an early birthday present after the wisdom teeth weekend but told me i wasnt allowed to open it. I begged and begged and then she needed to find a pair of earings so she let me open it!! Max and I had a huge early b-day celebration and partied a ton. I was way excited and git a great gift! Gotta love early b-days!

Game time

Kelly invited me to go to the Warriors V.s Caviliers game tonight. Courtside seats! i'll get to see Lebron in action up close, woo hoo. Just wanted to make you jealous... especially the bruders. If you watch the game maybe you'll be able to see me!

Sledding

Here are some pics of when we went sledding. It was sooo cold! I didn't get any of Chad and Julie- sorry guys. I will be posting some video results of our "jump rope contest" and we can decide who wins. Keep in mind that no one videoed me and I was the first in the fam to do some double crosses with my rope!
