Easter

 The Easter Bunny even comes to teenagers.  Bryce is

ready for church and yes, is wearing a beanie because his

hair is wet and it helps keep it from going frizzy.  

 Coloring Easter Eggs using shaving cream with food coloring.

Its a fun idea and feels neat on your hands.  However, it

really doesn't work very well.  

 This is a weird Easter this year.  Breeann and Brandon 

have moved away to Colorado, Christa lives in California,

Tanner just left for Pennsylvania for the next 5 months so

we just have Bryce at home.  So I told him that he just needs

to humor his mom and let me enjoy some of the Easter 

traditions even though he is 17.  Actually, he enjoyed playing

in the shaving cream!  :)

 These next few pictures are really for Breeann and

Brandon.  Brandon's grandparents invited us over to have

Easter dinner.  They have a lot of family visiting this

week and more coming in throughout the week due to their

50th wedding anniversary party.  We had fun playing with

the kids and visiting.  Baby Sammy...

Handsome Son

Look at this handsome son of ours!  He decided to get 

all that hair cut off!  Do you think his mama was happy?

Yep, I sure am and I betcha the girls out there will be

thinking he is one sharp looking man!

Boise Tournament

Here are a couple of action shots of Bryce playing

Bishop Kelly High School in Boise.   

 The temperature in Boise for the weekend got up to

54 degrees, but it was SUPER windy and FREEZING!

After the first game on Saturday, Bryce had a 4 hour break

until his next game and he was FROZEN!  So we took him

to Grandpa and Grandma Law's house and he slept in front

of their fire for an hour after Grandma fed him lunch.  The next

game was a LITTLE warmer and he did put on his warm 

under armor.  (which I had suggested he do for the prior game, but

you know kids.....)

 My parents came to watch a game and so did Lauretta with 

some of her kids, Audra, Jarom and Cannon.  

Unfortunately, they came to a game that we lost, but they 

enjoyed watching and supporting Bryce.  We are

thankful for our family and loved spending time with some

of them.  

More Vegas Tournament

 I left out a few pictures...yep, those are my WHITE

legs getting sunburned.

 LOVING the sunshine!

 Warming up for the third game on Saturday.  

They are SOOOO tired after playing 2 games in the heat

on Saturday, waiting for lunch.  Then they played one more

game after lunch.  

Vegas tournament

 Its LaCrosse season again!  LaCrosse for us actually begins the first week 

of January when they start conditioning.  This conditioning is pretty

intense and last about 6 weeks.  This year they also had the

opportunity to practice inside a small warehouse the month of

January and February.  This has prepared them for this tournament.

 Here is a shot of Bryce scoring!  Ya, Greg is that good.

He actually got a photo of that!  Awesome!

 They played 4 games and won 3 of them.  This placed

them in 1st place for their division.  Such an exciting tournament!!

 When we weren't watching games, Greg and I spent a little

time together just enjoying a break.  We went to a 

shark aquarium.  Cool little lion fish.

 Lots of sharks

 And the best part was that it was SOOOO warm!

It was 75 degrees most days and it was heaven!  

This has been such a long winter and we loved 

the heat.  Yes, I am burned, but it was soooo worth it!

 Walking around on the strip, we went into the

Caesar's Palace.  This is so neat.  Its a big area inside

the building with the Greek mythology creatures 

made of marble.  The roof looks like the sky.  It was

absolutely huge!  

And....kind of spur of the moment we decided to go see 

The Donny & Marie Show!  We both enjoyed it alot.  

They really do put on a great show and we heard that it was

rated the #1 show in Vegas.  I believe it.  It was great!  Marie

even came running into the audience and ran right past Greg putting

kisses on lots of the older men's heads, but Greg isn't bald or old

so I guess that must be why she passed him up!  :)  

Bryce had a great time at the tournament and is so excited for this season!

This is the beginning of a crazy month!  We have a tournament in Boise next weekend

and the Salt Lake the following.  Go Bobcats!!

Lois Sawyer

March 1, 2013 one of the most wonderful woman

that I have had the privilege of knowing passed away and

is now reunited with her sweet and loving husband Charles.

This picture is one of my favorites of some of the most

special people in our lives.  We love our friends,

The Sawyers and Lois is Robert's mother.  We used to 

lived right behind them for years when we first came to 

Smithfield.  Lois is the most caring and wonderful woman.

I don't think I ever heard her say a negative thing about anyone

and she always found ways to make others smile.  

I will miss her greatly and am so grateful I had the opportunity

to spend so much time with her this past year!  I am sure

that she is rejoicing in being with loved ones who have passed

on before her and dancing with her husband Charles again!
