Jumping Jacks

Well over the weekend Keila had gone to Idaho. To Boise to be exact with Abbey Thompson and Mikey was working, so we decided to spend some time with Hunter & Makenna. We were going to spend the weekend in Mesquite Nevada but decided against that, but we should have gone, maybe another time. So we went to Jumping Jacks instead and had a ton of fun, had to drag the kids out of there. The kids had a lot of fun especially with the air hockey game.(you have got to watch Hunter when he scores in the videos below). Then we went out for ice cream. Fun timesWatch these

After La-Shana and Blake left, we headed off to Idaho for Spring Break and stayed at Matt and Debz house. Mata and Eden came with us which is always fun, it was very relaxing up there and we hit Lava Hot Springs which was awesome cause we all needed some relaxation.

Debz and I played speed which Deb got wasted in Speed and Knucklebones and owes me a nice foot rub so next time maori girl, i have to beat her in Speed cause thats the only way my feet get any loving.
Mike and the kids also went fishing
but the fish he caught were to small so back in the water they went.
Also Eden and the all the little kids had a game of softball which Eden's team dominated (I wonder why), it was a blast to spend time with Deb and her whanau and look forward to the next trip up there.

Taeya wanted to challenge Uncle Mike in Knucklebones, they just made up their own rules as they went along. (She is just like her Mom)

Deb beat me in this game of Speed, dont worry the next two games i wasted her.
(she will remember it a little differently)
(Don't you snap your Maori fingers at me)

Getting ready for another game of speed so i can waste Deb again.

Take that smirk off your face Maori Girl, cause you wont be smiling after I beat you in this game.

Got to watch these

Spring Break with the Francoms

We were fortunate to have Blake & La-Shana come home for the weekend, it was to short but we made the best of it. They also had Ryo, a team mate of Blakes. It was nice to have him in our home and hope that he felt the same way. In their circles he calls Blake & La-Shana Mom & Dad, long story but sweet. So on our last visit to Cali. he refered to us as Grandma & Grandpa. So during their stay they also announced that Ryo commited to be baptised, which is really good news. Just really glad that our kids along with their friends have been good examples, makes me think about what church leaders are always stressing, to always be a example cause you never know who my be watching you. Well we wish we could be there, but are unable at this time.

Everytime Blake shows up they D.S it up till they have a undisputed champion, which is always Blake

After Moms cooking and gaming it up this is normally what happens shortly after. This cannot be comfortable, but whatever

Hunter and Ryo Boxing on the Wii. Lots of laughs. Got some video footage, it's the best

Then the Francom's had to return home, sad times.

Maybe it was just as well cause it started to snow. La-Shana doesn't like the snow. If you look closely you can actually see the snow coming down.
