Logan and Football

Logan has been playing football. He is number 62. Next week is their championship game. And their last game of the season. Today was the first game I have been able to go to, for some reason or other. However, I am not sure why. Anyway, he is a small guy compared to many, most of the others. But he is all heart and plays like the "BIG" guys!

It was a beautiful, crisp fall day in Alpine.

Getting closer!

Even closer!

And here they are. Logan is the 2nd from the right. Cutie pie!

There he is, from the rear. To be honest, I can only tell which one he is, by his number. So therefore, the rear view!

There he is. Doesn't he look like a pro!

And there is a little Knight, waiting for the slightly larger Knights to come crashing through the banner! And it was a "Banner Day" as they won their game with 4 touchdowns and the other team...well "Zip". And the parents were not good losers... a little badly behaved, shall we say!

Genealogy Blog

Just to let you know, my genealogy blog is temporarily closed. I will open it up in a few weeks.

The ROCK!

So I have been out of commission this week. Had a kidney stone and it wasn't fun and it hurt and I discovered the 2 pain events of my trip to Poland were this little stone trying to fight it's way out. I had no idea. I have had a stone but the pain was in such a higher place that I didn't recognize what the pain in Poland was from...It's probably a good thing. I would not have known what to do about it. Also, I would have really worried about the flight home. I am glad that I had no clue why I had such pain. And luckily each event lasted only 1 hour and then quit. The Lord gives us little blessings at times and we don't realize them till later.

Now it has passed and things are returning to normal. Don't want to have this fun again, any time soon...

Little Tenderfoot!

Yesterday Tyson got his 11 year-old Tenderfoot award in Scouts. He is growing up too fast for me. He also did the flag ceremony. It's always fun to see them achieve little milestones in their lives. The highlights of being a grandma!

Getting ready for the posting of the colors!

Here they are, checking out the photos. A cute bunch of guys!

Getting the goods!

The proud family!

Mom gets her pin! Gosh, I still remember being the mom so many years ago! How do the years pass so quickly...
Good job Ty, proud of you!

A Little About Tyson Jacob

Tyson is a happy 9 year old with lots of talents and abilities. He knew the names of all the planets when he was just about 18 months old. He started talking at such an early age it was incredible. He seems to like basketball more than any sport and also enjoys baseball. He will start 4th grade in the fall of 2010. He has already traveled alot with me for his young years, to southern Utah, Texas, Germany and Switzerland. He is a real thinker and enjoys spending time with his grandpa Spencer, shooting, fly tying, golf and fishing.

A Little About Brecklyn Brianne

Brecklyn is the only girl in the family and so she has a special place in my heart. She is a pretty "Tiny Dancer" just like her mom always was. She is starting kindergarten in the fall of 2010 and just can't wait. She loves to go walking with grandma Sonja and never says no when I want to walk just a little farther. She makes friends easily and even makes friends at places such as the McDonald's playground. She has received several trophies at her dance performance competitions where her group seems to always get 1st place.

A Little About Logan Spencer

Logan is going to be in Pre-school in the fall of 2010. He is a very active 4 year boy. He enjoys soccer, just like his dad and basketball, just like his big brother, Ty. He and Ty are not at all alike and look and act totally different. It is hard to believe that they are brothers! Logan loves to play in the sandpile as my blog shows and doesn't think fishing is such a great sport. Afterall, why should it take so long just for one measly little fish? He learned to ride his bicycle at age 3 and loves to be grandpa's little buddy.

A Little About Grayson

He's here, born June 30-, on his great-grandmother's birthday. That makes him super special. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 1/2 inches. He's a little guy, blonde and sweet. He is definitely a "Momma's boy" and will only allow others to hold him for a very short time. Then he lets you know he is very unhappy. But I am sure this will change eventually and he will find out other people are fun and interesting too. We love this little guy and look forward to see what he thinks about his very first Christmas!
