I'm only 12 it's hard to keep up with pictures(in case you didn't already guess it's "the daughter")and there is one picture :D

Ok, this may come as a surprise but it's me......the mom! I guess if anyone wants any family dirt all they have to do is read the blog!!!! Just kidding, I actually like reading what Brea writes it either makes me laugh or shake my head in shame, haa, haa, haa. As Brea has said the kids have started school. I really can not believe that Triston is in high school. I know I'm not really that old. At least I didn't feel like it until I fell the other morning when I was walking with my friend Nicki. We get up and walk 3 miles in the morning. It's tough some days when I don't get enough sleep but very much worth it. This particular morning I fell it was very dark still as we walk at 4:40 AM. We were only about a half mile from home, walking down the highway. There were trucks leaving to go to the mine so we kept stepping off the road onto the dirt. The highway is a little slanted so the dirt is also a little slanted as you step off. Well after about the fourth truck I knew I really needed to watch my step. As I stepped off the road there just happened to be a few crevices where the water had run off from some rain we had. Guess where my foot landed?????? Yep half way on the road and half way in a crevice. I didn't know I could fall so gracefully!!!! Well my poor walking partner was stuck between laughing and seeing if Iwas alright. She held off laughing for a few seconds and told me to get up and not let the truck coming see me. What a partner, always looking out for me. Well after I decided not to cry I got up and walked out the twist in my ankle. By the time I got home I thought I was fine. After I got home and showered, went and taught seminary then went to work and sat for about a half hour I could feel the stiffness start to set in. OK can anyone say "muscle relaxers please"! By the time I got home I could hardly walk. I texted Nicki at work and told her how sore I was and she told me how she had to tell her co-workers and how they just looked at her because she was laughing so hard. I do have to say it was funny. I was laughing myself. It did stop however the next morning when I woke up to walk and felt like I did three rounds in the ultimate fighting. I thought the worst of it would be my ankle ummm not so much. It was every where but my ankle. Ok, enough of my blunders. Back to the happenings here. Triston seems to like high school. Playing football is good for him at this point. He has to be eligible in order to play. The coach has a study hall set up after school for the players to do homework and get help with whatever they need so there is no reason NOT to be eligible. He seems to be doing very well which makes me happy.

Next is our Brea. What can we say about her? She's in seventh grade and normally likes school. This year is a little different for here. She says she hates it. I don't really think it's school she dislikes as much as the riff-raff and cliques. She has a hard time putting up with things that happen that shouldn't. She is a great help to me whether it's helping me clean or cook, it's great that she is so reliable. Well I have to cut this short, Jackie is here and wants to show me something on face book and she needs the computer so I'll just say I hope everything is good for everyone.

Triston turned fourteen on September 1
My mom also had a birthday but hers was in August

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Hi guys I haven't been on in awhile sorry! I was just being lazy. Me and my brother started school. He's a freshmen now and his football team is doing really good I think so at least they're 1 up and 1 down. As far as I can tell he's liking high school. As for me I do not like school I'm in seventh grade now. Switching classes is fun and all my teachers are fine except my PE teacher.He is new and every other thursday we have to run a mile and we have homework. UGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! I will not be puting any pictures on here from the first day of school we were rushing and Triston didn't want to take any so you can just blame him or take it from me that I looked pretty dern cute I guess Triston looked okay to :)

The picture above is was from our trip to disneyland.We went on Halloween with my aunt Steph and uncle Marty it was so fun. It was the only good recent family picture on the lap top!

* DAD* Just finished a 16 by 16ft edition on my parents room WOW it only took a year to finish!! Doing that and being a chief juvenile probation officer was not fun for any of us. He still has to do the bathroom and closet part of the project great!!!
* MOM* works at the welfare department although she wishes she could be a stay at home mom. She is always reading Nora Roberts books (I think she might like them?)
* TRISTON * 13 in a half *Well what can I say he's my brother He's weird and all that stuff. But I must say somthing nice before my mom reads this (hee hee hee). He's going to start high school when school comes around. He's shorter than I am and he's going to play football up in the big school yikes!!
*Me * 12 in a half* I'm going into 7th grade yeah big whoop I'm just drooling. I love to read like my mom but I'm not to big on Nora Roberts I'm more into Twilight, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Maximum Ride.
