Our stake put on a fireside for the whole family last night and Tonly Ingle the head basketball coach at Kennesaw State University was there to speak to us along with Shawn Bradley who he recruited and coached at BYU. Shawn Bradley stands 7'6" and is a former BYU star, played 12 years in the NBA for the Philadelphia 76's, New Jersey Nets, and Dallas Mavericks. He is such a wonderful speaker. Hunter, Jessica and I were able to go and listen to him speak. We could have listened for hours to him, he was so funny, spiritual, and entertaining. When he stood up the crowd just aaahhheedd. He is so tall as you can tell from this picture.
When we were leaving he was outside and Hunter was standing by him and asked if he wanted a picture with him. I just happen to have my camera, because of Hunter's football game from the night before, but my batteries had died, but I was able to get it to work. Hunter is 5'6 mind you, Shawn was two feet taller.

Piano Lessons
Spencer and Taylor have started taking piano lessons from a wonderful dear friend of mine Melysa. They get to learn on a baby grand piano, how awesome is that. I got to learn on a baby grand piano too. We have a piano that I paid $125 dollars for. It was a steal, but it still needs to be tuned. I will get around to it soon. I need to just do it. They have loved it so far, even practicing. I know that it will not last, I have been there and I loved piano lesson's for a few months then I begged my mom to let me quit, but she would not let me. I finally talked her into it after a year. I wish she would have never let me quit, but you can't force me to do anything. Gotta go to piano lessons. Wish them luck.

County Champs!!!
Jessica's volleyball team became the County champs last Saturday. They ended the season being undefeated. They still have four more games this week, but even if they lose they still have the county because they have played these teams already and beat them. Jessica has done a fabulous job for it being her real first year of serious volleyball. Jessica is #8 serving the ball and is in white, even though her team is in green. She is their Libero, click on it to find out more information what the Libero does click on it. Here are a few more shots of her playing. She takes whatever she does seriously. She is very competitive, but has great sportsmanship. She loves the sport of volleyball now!!! We were sad to see her leave softball, but we are excited to watch what ever sport she wants to play.

TAGGED AGAIN, BUT DIFFERENT
My friend Rachel & Loree both tagged me at the same time, with the same thing. So here are the random things you may not have known about me.
1. I don't like to sit in a restaurant where people are walking by my food. I would rather sit in a corner or sit on the inside of the booth or table where my food won't get sneezed on, talked on, spit on by people talking or just there body flakes getting on it.
2. I did track in High school. My events were discus and the shot put. I was the littlest one out there and did pretty good, placing third in state as a sophomore.
3. I hate to sleep with any light. I can't stand even the light from my alarm clock. But get this, I can sleep with the TV on. Go figure.
4. I always move my furniture and decor around at least once a month. Don't believe me ask my husband. Ok not all of my furniture, but it is something that I change in the house.
5. I use to play the flute, saxophone, clarinet, piccolo, and piano. No, I can't play anything now. Which is very, very , very sad.
6. I was president of my class for Freshman, Sophomore, & Junior year. Every year 6 people ran against me and I won. Then when I was a Senior I ran for Student Body President and no one ran against me. So I won. They all ran for Senior Class President.
7. I did ballet for 11 years, till I was a sophomore in High School.
Now that you know a little bit more about me and maybe some things you wished you never knew.
I choose to tag: MYKELLE, JODI,JENNIFER, LORA, MELYSA & LORI
