Football Season

My brother Jesse just started playing football. He has only been to about two practices but is liking it. I think that he is learning to be a Wide Receiver or something like that. I'll post pictures once he has had his first game.

Good Bye Sister

Today is going to be the last day that I see my older sister Rachel for a while. She is going back to San Antonio, Texas with my aunt Tricia. My sister is very nice and I enjoy having her here. But maybe this will be better for her because here where we live, she doesn't really like hanging around with people because firstly they won't except her for who she is and she is kinda a little shy too. But this will give her a chance to start all over, get some friends, and enjoy school. It will be nice for Tricia too because she is the only one in her family up there in Texas. I know that Chris and Tricia will make her at home though, and I appreciate that.

My Mother's Birthday

Today was my mom's birthday! It was lots of fun. We had this good kind of dessert that my aunt Tricia made. It was gone pretty soon. Then the kids had Otter-Pops and we played tag. I enjoy celebrating people's birthdays, especially in my family.

Family Reunion

So, these last one and a half weeks we had a family reunion on my dad's side. It was so much fun, especially because my family lives in Utah.

My family of eight, (Dad, Mom, Rachel, Jesse, me, Kathryn, Anna, and Jenna)

Along with my dad's brother and his family (Jared, Lani, Logan, Maddie, Megan, Janie, and Chloe) live in Utah. We only live about a block away too. Well, other than my grandparents and aunt, all the rest of my dad's side lives in California and Texas. It has been lots of fun though.

The whole family went and ran about three miles.

Some of us ran more
and some of us didn't run any.

and some of us just had a great time doing it.I ran six miles. Our family has been doing this thing where our family runs miles and we are trying to reach New York from California. It has been very fun. I think that we are somewhere in Nebraska right now.

Here was the champion of this event. My aunt Tracy. She ran 10 MILES!!!!

After that we played baseball and kickball while my brother Jesse was playing a baseball game on his team, The Pirates.The food was great! We switched off between my house and my uncle's house. Having all of my dad's side of the family at the same church on Sunday was a real treat. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. I hope that sometime we can have a family reunion in California or Texas.
