REAL Game, Basketball... May 9, 2011

For Mother's Day, Oh My Crafts does a big production at the REAL Game so we got to go

to the game. It was fun, Miriah kept asking when Brody was going to go in?

One of the players got his leg broke on a dirty play, it was sad.

Hollie, Jayde, and Miriah

Britton and Miriah as we were leaving the stadium.

After we left the stadium we headed to Aunt Lori's, JT got his Eagle.

We made it there just in time.

Don't have any pictures since I forgot to put the chip back in my camera.

One of JT's scout masters talked about JT being "Constant" You can always count on JT to be were he is suppose to be. I have been thinking a lot about the word Constant, over the weekend I will have to post my thoughts later.

Brody and Braxton could not go with us since they were playing in a basketball tournament.

Braxton is doing really good, He has got to keep working hard and believe in himself.

Brandon coached them, and his little boy was with him, he is so cute and loves being with the big boys.

We had a great time, talking to Elder Berry on Mothers Day. He is doing awesome,

He does have a little bit of a accent, and we talk way to fast for him to understand us, we had to slow down. We were able to have Family Pray at the end of the call, having Elder Berry saying it since it was his turn, the kids said. It was very special for me as a mother to have such a Valiant Son, leave us with a blessing.

Love you Brady, and thank you for your wonderful example!

Other than a special phone call, it was just like another day.

Scouts, A Rasberry..., a tender prayer.

Britton is loving scouts so much, always wants to be there early so he can help.

 He had is ticket drawn and was so excited

 Brody after the Pleasant Grove game when he got his RASPBERRY it was pretty sore.

Braxton ready to go to early morning weights with Brody at the High School.

 We had snow on April 30, 2011, We hope this picture cools things off a little for you Elder Berry.

Yesterday in Church, Miriah would not go to her class, so she went in the big kids class with Dad and I, When it came time for the closing prayer, I asked Brody to say it, put Miriah ended up saying it, She loves to pray, She thanked Heavenly Father that we could go to church and that she could be in the Big Kids class and that Brady would come home safely today. It was very tender, and right from her heart!

We love you Elder Berry!

Bronson and Hollie, taking pictures of themselves.

The week was pretty much the same- work, games, piano, more games, trying to find time to clean the house.  Lots of miracles going on here, as well as in Ghana.



Busy Week - Easter Fun - Surprise

The same old things happen every week, but on Monday we had the Bryce children over for dinner. There parents are lucky enough to be on a Hawaii cruise.  It was fun, after we had dinner Anna gave us a short lesson on the Plan of Salvation. 

 Brody wanted his picture taken with the Beautiful Girls!

 Hollie and Megan should of been in the picture.

 Brody Playing at Rio Tinto Stadium

 Notice the Number -23- (He is taking good care of  it for Brady)

Brody number had been 14 since he started playing Ranger when he was 9, but this year he said that he just could let just anybody where 23!

 Britton won most of the races, he lost the ones when he put his car on the track backwards.

 Feels good to Win!

 Britton took second place  in the Wold Den and got the award for Best Engineering!

 Trying hard not to "Smile"

Last week I had bought this egg dying spinner and Miriah just was dying to open it I told her that she had to wait till all the cousins came for the party, she got so excited thinking that Daisy was coming, that I called Jill to see if by chance they would be coming from WY for the egg Hunt, she said no, it was to far and had not really thought about it, Jack only had a few days off work, so she didn't thinks so. of course Miriah felt bad and was mad at her mom for saying all the cousins were going to be there.

 Thursday night we get a phone call to see if we can run down to mom's.  A Surprise!!  Someone is there,  Someone special, Miriah yells, "Is it Brady?"  (Since she is still praying several times a time that he comes home safely tonight, it has been seven months)  I said, no someone else you wanted to see, so we hurry to grandma's and who do we find....Jill and her Kids

Miriah was so excited to finally get to see Daisey Mae who was born the Friday before Brady left.

Easter Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Berry's 

On the way over Miriah is giving instructions to everyone that they are not to talk to grandma since she wanted to hurry and get to the eggs with the money in them. 

Everyone was spoiled once again, everyone got more money than they should of.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma!
