Gabzilla, Alta little league football

We ended Alta little league football this weekend. It lasted a little over 3 months of driving, driving, and driving! Plus, we pretty much spent each Saturday at Gabe's games. I love it! I have mixed emotions each year when it is over. I'll be glad to drive less miles on the car. I look forward to having Gabe eat dinner with us. I will not miss the water jug on the counter top 24/7. Oh, and the stinky, sweaty boy smell in my car and laundry room!   I will miss watching Gabe play! He is awesome and truly loves the sport. He is so incredibly focused at 9 years old! He even scored 6 touchdowns! It is time though, the weather is cold, my house needs some attention, and the holidays are upon me. Until next year buddy!

GAME ON!



Gabe drew this for me one day so I would "understand" football

What to Wear for Family Photos

Here is our family debut, minus 1 husband, on Good Things Utah! Everyone had fun participating even though I look like a single mom! I threatened Eli to just stand there and smile.  He was trying so hard but ended up making hilarious faces!

My Gabe

This is Gabe. He is awesome! He is such a thoughtful, sweet guy. Whoever marries him is one lucky chick!
He plays football like an animal, yet he is always thinking of others' feelings and NEVER forgets to say THANK YOU. Let's not forget how CUTE he is too!


(P.S. His wife has to be an incredible cook, this guy is a serious FOODIE!)
