Merry Christmas!

We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful upcoming New Year! The picture above is from our Christams card. After 2 days of different places, poses and threats, we ended up in our backyard with the cutest picture. Below is how the nearly hour of posing in front of our Christmas tree really went. I think that was the second choke hold of the day by Sierra. Over the weekend Hunter had his last basketball game of the year, they won again. Way to go boys. Sierras team also played, I asked her what I should write about the game and she said" we played like crap and need to pass better." They lost if the quote didn't give it away. Luckily this game didn't count in their standings.Sierra also had her Christmas recital for dance over the weekend, she looked beautiful and did a great job! I did take pictures but they didn't turn out well...sorry. Santa hurry and bring my camera!!

Sierras B-Ball game

Sierra played her first 9th grade league basketball game yesterday. She is starting point guard and played a great game. Her team won 17-14, and she scored 7 of those points. She had several assists, steals ,blocks, rebounds and even a not so legal moving screen... ooops. I think she wanted to play football for a moment. Sierra is #12, only the best number ever ( John Stockton, Aunt Ashlee and me : ). Each girl on the team has to host a dinner the Friday before a game. This week it was our turn, and it was a lot of fun to meet the girls. We had good food and a lot of laughs....Go Lady Eagles!!

Hunters Jr. Jazz game 12-08-07

Yeah!! We won our first game of the season. Hunter is on a new team this year, and they are awesome! The team has only had one practice, so they can only get better from here( and they're pretty darn good!!!).They won 29-10.Hunter had 4 points, along with several assists, blocks rebounds, and steals! He is double fours ( #44), so we call him Fesenko.Obviously looking at these pics I need a new camera...Santa if your reading this I've been really good.

We have Jazz fever!!

This year our friends asked us if we wanted to go in on season tickets. We have had a blast! Even though we are in upper bowl our seats are actually great! Sierra has only made it to two games because of dance, but this was a night when we were all able to go.We beat the Heat, it was a great game! Go Jazz!! We're heading to the finals!

Hunters 11th Birthday Party!

Hunter had been planning for weeks to play basketball and football at his party. Every time I threw out a suggestion to go somewhere, his reply would be " All I want to do is play ball with my friends." Friday I made a few last ditch efforts to find an indoor court ( which I suggested earlier : ). ) and everything was booked.Well, this is what we woke up to Saturday morning at least 5 inches of snow. So this party was headed indoors. Usually I am very organized and have everything just perfect. This was a true test of me going with the flow and having fun......with 10 11 year old boys?! Just don't ask Sierra and Matt how calm and collected I was that morning before the party started. It ended up being a lot of fun. We have an air hockey table, so we had a tournament with prizes for the winning team. Then we played a game of Sports trivia, the boys knew most of them, in the end the peanut people beat the muffins. We then played sports pictionary and the Utes beat the Silverwolves.After that we went down to the arcade basketball game and had a tournament. They then ate lots of pizza, ate brownie sundaes, and took these great pictures!
This was their "Hey Hot Girls pictures" I am worried. Keep your daughters inside!

And, Of course no cake for Hunter, because he absolutely does not like cake. So we had brownie sundaes. I think we are officially done with the Birthday parties for Hunter this year, but they were fun. Happy Birthday bud, we love you!

Whats up with Sierra and Hunter

Sierra has been busy with dance and basketball. She dances for her middle schools dance company and also at a studio 5 days a week.She made her middle schools basketball team and is playing point guard. Her basketball team will have their first game December 8th, they practice 3 days a week. So needless to say we never see her. She is doing great in school, all honors classes.

Hunter just finished a great football season, he had a blast. Hunter loved playing linebacker,tight end, line ( I forget what position I think tackle?) and full back,he learned a lot this year, but most of all had FUN!!! He will also be starting basketball soon, he plays basketball everday and absolutely loves it. Hunter is doing great in school and has amazing grades, and LOVES school.

WE HAVE GREAT KIDS!!!!!!

Matts Surgery

Matt had his second rotator cuff surgery on November 12th. It was alot of clean up work and reconstruction. Dr. Beck, his surgeon, said he had NEVER seen someone so young with such damage. Matt needs to take it easy and learn to adjust to taking it easier with both shoulders.We are all hopeful for the same results he had from his first surgery. I have loved having him home, I have also wanted to tie him up with duct tape. He actually painted our theater room 5 days post surgery, because he couldn't sit still and relax. I think he had a severe case of cabin fever.Last surgery I tried to slip him some sleeping pills to have him relax, maybe I should have done it this time as well . Maybe I shouldn't say that ?! . He will start physical therapy mid December and know a little more then on his recovery time.

Hunters Arrow of Light

This week Hunter received his arrow of light. He has worked really hard and we are so proud of him. So now he will be starting Boy Scouts... way to go bud!!

Hunters 11th Birthday!!!

This past Sunday was Hunters 11th Birthday! Wow, the time has just flown by. Hunter wanted to have his family over for the U of U / BYU game. We had a great time, well, except the final score. Hunter doesn't like cake so we had Birthday pie, apple his favorite. It was a great time !! Hunter will be having his friends over on Saturday for another party, he must be a good kid.
