April Fool's Day!

Tara is the student body president at Timpview and heard that the Provo High (our arch rivals) president was just kicked out of his office for some misdeed. So Tara and a few friends decided for April Fool's that they would tell everyone at Timpview that Tara would be leaving Timpview to go over to Provo High and be their president for the rest of the year. She even borrowed a Provo High student government sweat shirt to wear to school on April Fool's Day. All day long people were coming to Tara (some almost in tears) to say good-bye, there were cards being made for her and good-bye parties were being planned for her. She received so many text messages wishing her well, many from people she hardly even knows. Finally at lunch time we thought it was probably time to let everyone know, that it was an April Fool's joke, before it got even more out of hand. I added this picture because Tara dresses like this almost every day for school. She hardly owns clothes that aren't orange and blue. She lives, eats and breathes Timpview High! As a matter of fact for Halloween she borrowed the Provo High Bulldog Mascot costume and wore it to Timpview with a poster hanging around her neck that said, "I wish I were a T-bird!" Anyway, we all had a good laugh because it was so funny that people could believe Tara could even walk the halls of Provo High let alone transfer there!

Viva Las Vegas!

The best part of tennis and all the trips we take is the friends the boy's have made. Here is Keaton Cullimore, Grant Taylor, Matthew & John at the Darling Tennis Center in Las Vegas.

We happened to run into Andre on our way in to the courts one day. We haven't seen him in a couple of years so we thought we should get a picture or him with the boys now!

Our friend from the tour, Darren Cahill, is working with Baghdatis so we were able to get a picture of the boys with him too! John & Matthew were pretty excited about meeting him!

BYU Tennis ALL Weekend!

We had BYU Tennis matches this week on Thursday, Friday & Saturday! Here is Jordan, Rebecca and a few of the boys!
After the match on Thursday, Travis opened his mission call. He was called to the Riverside, California mission!

Life is a Party! (or at least Tara's life Is)

Tara and her friends on St. Patricks day. I don't know what Tara will do next year when she doesn't have a dress up day every week!

Girls Week & Morp

Morp!

The girls kidnapped the boys and started the day off with a disco breakfast at our house at 4:30 am. We had tie-dye and smiley face pancakes! (Notice the John Travolta pinata). We decorated the house and had disco music playing. I am always turning down the kids music but at breakfast they kept turning it down and I would be over there blaring it! There is nothing that will ever beat the 70's and disco, except maybe the 80's!

The only picture I have so far of Tara and her date Lincoln. You can't quite see the peace material and go-go boots.

Tara and some of her friends during Girls Week! The boys had t-shirts that said "We are God's among Women," for boy's week, so the girls answered with these t-shirts that said, "You may be God's, but we are your weakness." It had a picture of Hercules with Meg on it!

Savage Day!

Doing something, but not quite sure what!

Gangsta Day!

Happy 13th Birthday Matthew!

Here is Matthew's first picture with his brother and sisters! Matthew was so funny and mischievious as a toddler, I love this picture of him because it reminds me so much of his fun personality (complete with swollen lip and broken tooth)!
Matthew & Jordan. This may be the only picture in existence of Matthew sitting still during his toddler years. He was sick and Jordan was trying to comfort him. I took this picture because I thought it was so funny that she went and put on that apron just in case he threw up on her. We could already see the nurse inside of Jordan starting to come out.
Happy Birthday Matthew, we are so excited to have another teenager in the house!

I'm not putting every tournament on here, or you would get really sick of them! Just the highlights!

This past weekend the boys played in the tournament at Gold's Gym. Matthew & Josh played doubles together and won the boys's 12 year olds. Matthew won the 16's and John lost in the finals of the 18's but that was not quite as exciting as Josh getting a trophy!
