birthday treat

This year for my birthday I got a flag pole and flag. I was so excited. I love being able to see the flag each day to remind me of the wonderful country we live in. I am thankful for the many men and women that have helped make our country free. This first picture is Kyle and Brent putting up the pole and flag. Also I used this picture to show how big our little puppy is getting.

This picture is Kyle and Brock having fun. This weekend Brock flew home to watch one of Kyle's football game.

I have loved looking out my windows a watch the flag waving in the wind.

What Brent had to do to install the pole was pour a cement pad with a hole the size of the pole, then let it set up, the pole it self sides up and down to bring the flag.

We are eating at Grandpa and Grandma house, it was delicious. We had Mexican food, with chocolate cream pie and coconut pie. It was such a fun treat to not have to cook on my birthday.

football

As you can tell we love our football games. This is a picture Grandpa Ellingson, Blake, Savannah and Brent. Kyle's team won, they were playing LaSalle. Grandpa Nelson was at this same game but left before I was able to get his picture. This next picture is of Kyle's game against Elmira, his team won. At this games Jared and Amy were there, (they were visiting from Utah,) but they had to leave early, Jared was not doing so well. So in the picture we have Todd's family that came to the game along with Blake and Savannah. I am going to have to have someone else take the pictures, (besides me), next game so Kyle will remember that I was at his games, just the one taking the pictures. Also in this game one of Kyle's team mates broke his arm, Jordan, he is the one who has the most yards and points for the whole team. We will have to see who steps up in the last three games of the season.

This picture is of Brock babysitting Max and Charly, Brock flew home for the week-end so he could watch one of Kyle's football games.

This picture is of Kyle's game in Estacada. Kyle's team won. It was a fun game, here are Brock, Savannah, Blake and Brent enjoying the game.

After the game.

Kyle's team is in first place in the Conference.

Racquetball anyone

The day Brent and I were in Provo Shawn and Brock were just finishing their racquetball class, Brent challenged them each to a game. Brent let them score about 15 points and then he beat them every time.

Fall Fun

When Brent and I went to General Conference we watched Brock play intramural football, Brock is wearing brown shorts. I would of liked to take a picture of Brock in motion but I never know just the right time to snap the shot. It was so fun to watch.

After the game, Carissa, Brock and Brent.

The same evening we went to watch Shawn race his remote control car.

Shawn's car is in the air. It was pretty fun watching the cars race.

Conference Time

Brent and I went to General Conference. It was so awesome to go together to Conference. Brock, Shawn and Carissa went with us to the Sunday morning session. Todd's family was there also.
Brent, me, Brock, Carissa, Shawn, Thomas, Kara and Brandalyn, we all sat by each other. Thomas was in his Air Force uniform. I wanted to get a better picture of Thoma but he had to hurry and get to the airport to fly back to his base.

Brock, Carissa, Shawn and Brent, after conference with the Temple in the back.

Our boy,Jared, not that happy about having his picture taken.

Football Season 2009

Oops, I keep forgetting to turn the pictures before I put them on the blog.
Kyle's first game of the year. He played Woodburn, he did a great job. His team won, the score was "34 to 0". The number 55 was also Jared and Brock's number. Brent is sad to see his Friday night football games with his boys start to come to an end.

This picture is after the game.

Kyle's team, after warm-ups.

At Kyle's game Grandpa and Grandma Nelson, Blake and Savannah, Diane and O'Brien, Todd and his children. We all sat by each other, it was fun.

Fun Pictures

Brock and Kyle after Kyle's scrimmage football game. Last week Brock and Shawn flew home for a few days before BYU starts. We have not got to see Brock all summer he was in Pennsylvania selling APX alarm systems. We did not get a picture of Shawn, he was not around when I had the camera.
