Jy

OK, so I know I have been posting a lot. It's summer time and teaching is not as crazy.

I took Jy to go get some pictures done today. So cute (I forgot his length at birth. Bad Mom. 3rd child syndrome? Thanks Michelle for helping me out! She had to pull it off of my blog!)

UNLV Basketball

Friday afternoon we went to watch the Runnin' Rebel basketball team practice. The NCAA allows teams to travel abroad once every four years. As a result, the Rebels are allowed to practice for a couple of weeks leading up to the trip. In about a week, the Rebels will head to the Land Down Under and play six games against professional teams. Pictured here is the family with new freshman 7-foot center, Beas Hamga. Everyone is excited to have him as part of the team now since our tallest starter last year was only 6'7" (Joe Darger).

There have been over 100 people at each practice so far. After practice, the coaches and players make it a point to shake everyone's hands and thank them for coming. Pictured with me and the kids are: Coach Kruger, Kendall Wallace, and the future conference player of the year, Wink Adams. Coach Kruger is seriously one of the nicest, most personable people you will ever meet. He is truely a class act (not to mention a great coach), and has good kids playing for him. Below is a bucket Wink scored in the scrimmage.

Coach Kruger has been pulling out all the stops in trying to get his team ready for the upcoming season. Former Rebels have been participating in practices and testing some of the new players. Pictured to the right is Joel Anthony of the Miami Heat giving Beas Hamga a lesson from the NBA and blocking his shot in the picture above! Beas may be a 5-star recruit, but still has a lot to learn. We are exccited to watch him develop as a member of the Runnin' Rebels. Also participating in practice have been: Kevin Kruger (coach's son) and Wendell White who play for the NBA developmental league, Mark Dickel and Warren Rosegreen...with many other former Rebels taking practice in from the sidelines. Former Rebel, and current 76er, Lou Amundson is supposed to make an appearence in practice this week. Ipuna will definitely want to go to practice now this week becasue she LLLOOOOOVVVVVEEESSS LOU! What a dreamboat!

My Princess is playing Soccer!

Oh how they grow so fast!

Updated pictures of Jy

Just had to post these picures of Jy. I love that he is smiling now. He is such an Angel! I never knew you could have so much love for 3 children.

Went to the Water Park with some friends. Xayla was having some fun in the grass I see! It was a lot of fun but windy. Jy just slept in his sling. I love that thing! We saw High School Musical last Thursday night. It was fun, but it started at 7:30 pm. Kind of late for Xayla. She fell asleep at the end. We shared a Banana Split because we are trying to eat healthy. We are not doing too bad if 4 of us shared one right? :)

Guitar Hero!

We had so much fun this weekend. Friday we went to the Water Park. I'll post pictures later. Sat. we went to Mesquite for Timmy's (one of K.C.'s really good friends in Dental School) Guitar Hero competition. He placed 9th and won some money! Not bad for a broke Dental Student, huh. It's a side job right? It's keeping his fingers warmed up for Dental practice. It was so much fun. One of the guys there was wearing the JackMormon jacket and some people dressed up. We also ate at the Pizza Factory in St George. They have the best bread twists!!! With Alfredo sauce!! There was also this neat little presentation we saw at the visitor's center in St George by the temple. It was such a fun turn around trip. We are so lucky to know a Guitat Hero legend :) .

Linda my sister

So my sister has really been into body building. I think it is a little too much, but she works out hard and is a personal trainer. She was in a competition and got 2nd place recently. She is going to nationals. The lady or man? in the blue bikini with dark brown hair won. It almost looks like she is growing something in her trunks (the one who won).

Jy blessed and more

O.K. So Jy was blessed on Sunday, June 1st. He was exactly 2 months old that day. It was great. After the blessing we ate at K.C.'s parent's house. Sorry the picture is not the clearest. I had to crop it. What is wrong with this picture? Hint: If you know Scoot, it has something to probably do with him :).

Keatyn let Jy borrow her bow :).

After the blessing.

The day of the blessing. Jy is starting to smile. His 2 month picture with Josh. He is wearing his 12 month Rebel onesie. Every month I am taking his picture in it with Josh to see his growth. I got that from Oprah :).

Xayla has been not wanting to go to bed lately. She gets up and plays dress up. So funny.

We are going to High School Musical on Thursday night with the kids. So cheesy, I know :).
