Happy 7th Birthday Presley!

Okay, my baby is now 7! That is just crazy! But doesn't she just look so cute in her new dress from Grandma & Grandpa Merrill! Thank you Grandma & Grandpa! Today was our primary sacrament program, so Presley, Sydnee and Maddy all spoke in church! Presley couldn't wait to get home to open her gifts and eat her chocolate cake!
I love birthday's because it gives me the perfect excuse to make a cake. I really enjoy the decorating part! I kept it simple this year but I like it!

2nd place in GYFA 8th Grade Championship!

This is the first year Gresham Youth Football Association had a 7th & 8th grade team, so for both of these Gresham teams to make it to the championship was a far off hope when we started the season. The 7th grade team won! Our boys played a great game and just came up short on the score board. But hey, 2nd place is incredible. They had an amazing season, started off 0-2 then won 7 games in a row to make it to the championship. This group of boys will all go to high school together and I am looking forward to watching them play. I believe they have what it takes to be champions!They had an awards ceremony right after the game and honored each of the boys with a medalion! Then they each received a trophy at their team party too!

Gresham cinches The Semi-Finals! Championship game here we come!

Steven & I got to watch Cole's game

without any interuptions from the girls.

The forcast called for rain, so Sierra elected

she would stay home with the girls!

They were wrong! It turned out beautiful!

Gresham came back from being down 22-0 at the half to win with only 21 seconds left in the game! Final score: Gresham 30 Rex Putnam 28
Cole played linebacker, wide reciever and on all special teams! He made some great tackles!
The best game this year.. the boys never gave up! As for all of us parents we were out of our seats and skin; and without a voice by the end of the game! Very Proud of all of them !
