Happy Birthday Dalton

Yesterday Dalton turned 14 years old. It is hard to believe how old he is, time flies when you are having fun. Dalton was born at RAF Lakenheath, England. Ray was stationed there from Feb 1994 to Feb 1997. Dalton was born at 10:10pm on Aug. 30, 1994 he weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 21 1/2 inches long.
Here is a picture of Dalton with my Grandpa Dalton. We named baby Dalton after him and I think that it just tickled him to death. My mom and Grandpa came to England when Dalton was born. They were actually on the plane, when he was born. I was so happy to see them.
Dalton has been such a joy to our family. Even though he is a moody teenager now, I love him more and more everyday.
Happy Birthday Dalton. We love you very much. Ray is taking Dalton, Connor, Rayleigh, and a friend of Dalton's to Speedstreet in Layton today, they are going to be go-cart racing all day!!

First Day of School

Here we are on the first day of school. Can I just say I am soooo excited that the kids are going back to school. As you can see Dalton isn't quite as excited as I am, but he was up and ready pretty early. Dalton is in the 9th grade this year at Rocky Mountain Jr. High, he is getting so big.
Connor got up and ready before I even got up, I don't think that it will last long, but I can enjoy it for today. He left for the bus stop at 7:35am and the bus doesn't come until 8am. I am sure by tomarrow he will be back to not wanting to get up and fighting me the whole time. Connor is in the 5th grade at Hooper Elem. They grow up so fast.
And last but not least, here is Gavin. He is sooo excited to start kindergarten today, he can barely stand himself!!! Gavin will be going to Quest Academy (charter school) and yes that is a uniform he is wearing. I will have 3 hours to myself everyday, I have no idea what I will do with myself, I am sure I can find something!!!

Football

I know that I haven't posted in ages, my sister keeps reminding me, so here is a new post!! Connor has started playing football for West Haven city recreation (Hooper doesn't have a recreation department).
Connor has been in conditioning for about 3 weeks and had his first game last Saturday!! It was a blow-out!!! Connor's team, the West Haven Grizzlies (marroon) won their first game against Mountain Crest the score was 40-0. Connor is #19 and did a great job!!!
Here is a picture of Gavin (in the red) holding the banner at halftime for the team to run through
The team that Connor is playing on is a great team and he has a great coach. This same team and coach went undefeated last year and also won the mini-bowl. I sure hope that Connor has as much fun playing as I do watching. I think he is having fun, minus all the bruises he comes home with everyday after practice. GOOD LUCK GRIZZLIES!!!!!!!
