Keys to the Church!


Five out of the last Seven years I have had callings that gave me keys to the church.  I've got keys again.  I was called to serve as Young Women President in our ward this time.  It's going to be fun, and the boys will be able to practice basketball year round.  I guess that's a perk!

Our first activity,
flour bomb capture the flag.

School's Out

I feel like this past school year zoomed by.  We will have 4 in high school this fall, it's a bit surreal.  Cute Qyntn still hates school, maybe 4th grade will be the year he starts to enjoy it?  Holly plans to graduate this December which makes her a senior, what?? She has applied to SLCC for winter semester next year.  And Alyssa has managed to maintain a 4.0, she's killing it!

Super League Champions!

I'm so proud of these boys, especially our handsome little baller and his handsome coach.  These guys played in the Salt Lake Super League and took home the championship!  They fought hard and all improved a lot.  Q had his best 2 games to finish out the season, 10 points, some steals, some assists and a lot of  hustle.



Relaxing in Paradise

While the boys were out playing basketball, I got to relax and do whatever I wanted, it was fabulous!  I enjoyed the warmth and sunshine, the sunsets and tacos, the boogie boarding and sleeping in!  It was a much needed break!








At church, Ben ran into Jose Salazar,
 a missionary he served with.

Basketball in Paradise

One of the coolest things we do each year is "Basketball in Paradise." It's a yearly basketball camp held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Ben is one of the coaches.  It's mainly for high school and college kids, but it is also an opportunity to go into the pueblos and provide free basketball clinics for kids who can’t afford the camp.
