Christmas Letter 2014

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

We hope this letter finds you well and still in the Christmas Spirit as we start the New Year.

We are excited for the New Year and hope it brings lots of excitement and success to all of you.

If you didn’t hear, the Berry’s moved in 2013. It was a quick move and a hard one to be honest,

But sometimes you just have to do, what you have to do.

New address: 11020 North 5500 West Highland, UT 84003

Highlights from 2013:

Brady went back to BYU Hawaii to play soccer and was named to the PAC WEST Academic Team. He had a lot of fun, even though it was not the same this year without Brody being there with him. We are glad he will be home for a while to work and continue classes on line at BYUH.

Brody received his mission call while at BYU Hawaii playing Basketball. It was difficult not being there with him as he opened his call but it turned out to be a unique experience watching him open his call over skype.

He was called to the Villa Hermosa, Mexico mission. He left in July and had to return home after four months for surgery. He has been a lot of fun and help to the family and me, so it has been a great blessing to have him around.

Braxton started his senior year at Lone Peak playing football and he is now wrestling. The football team shared the region championship and made it to the semi finals before being defeated by Bingham. Braxton was a receiver and kicker for the team. He made the High Honor Role this last fall and he just turned 18 on the 22nd and is looking forward to going on a mission sometime this summer.

Bronson turned 16 and is a sophomore at Lone Peak. He also played football on the sophomore team, which went undefeated. He has done extremely well in his classes and I love to have him come to my office to see me everyday. He is working on getting his drivers license and is one of the managers for the sophomore basketball team. He is such a joy to have around.

Hollie is still dancing, playing the piano and she has started learning how to play the guitar. She helped her Aunt Collette make decorations for the festival of trees in memory of Todd’s sister Rialeen who passed away this year from cancer. Hollie was able to dance at the Festival of trees and the tree was unbelievably beautiful. The prettiest tree there if you ask us, just like Raileen’s life. It was titled “Going to Grandma’s House”.

Britton is still playing soccer and basketball and this year he has started wrestling. He just loves to be with his friends and longs to move back to our old house. His Soccer team has won several metals this year and he just loves his soccer coach. He got his Arrow of Light and has moved into new scouts.

Miriah is her mother’s keeper. She has a better memory than me and never lets me forget. She is still playing the piano. She loves to get her homework done. She loves to read and wants to do everything her teacher asks. She too, longs for the old neighborhood and often goes home to her second home (Sienna’s) after school. She was the most excited this year for Christmas, all she wanted was a rainbow loom and to be Rudolph.

Todd is still working at Lehi Roller Mills along with some Real Estate. He works in the young men organization in our new ward. He spoke at Raileen’s funeral and gave the best talk I have ever heard. He really is a good speaker; I wish he did more of it.

I am still working at Lone Peak as a Student Advocate, and I love it. I am often reminded because life is so busy, that we need to be still and listen. We hope you had time to be still and enjoy the spirit of Christmas. We are grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives and the blessings that come through our obedience. We wish for many still moments in the New Year when you can feel the spirit and our Heavenly Fathers love.

Love, The Berry’s

Berry's late goal lifts BYU-Hawaii over Santa Rosa JC, second game Seasiders roll 4-0

Berry's late goal lifts BYU-Hawaii over Santa Rosa JC, second game Seasiders roll 4-0

LAIE, Hawaii (Aug. 30, 2013) – Brady Berry’s goal in the 81^st minute lifted the BYU-Hawaii Seasiders over Santa Rosa Junior College 1-0 on Friday afternoon in the first of a two-match day.

Berry knocked it in off his head with an assist from Chad Nahoolewa. The Seasiders had several shot attempts throughout the game off of free and corner kicks but could never get anything to go until Berry’s soft bouncer in the net.

“We possessed the ball extremely well,” head coach Mark Davis said, “We needed to put more shots on goal and we did so in the second match and that’s why we prevailed.”

The match featured BYU-Hawaii controlling for most of the time, but the Bearcubs pressed at times testing the defense of the revamped 2013 crew.

The Seasiders responded late after a scoreless first half with a hard push and eventually got just enough with the score. The team held off Santa Rosa to build some early season confidence.

Following the first match, the two teams squared off again with the Seasiders winning 4-0 over the Bearcubs. Chris Toronto scored a pair of goals to lead BYU-Hawaii.

At the end of the first half Jake Sorenson popped one over the head of the keeper on a terrific run to make it 2-0 after Toronto’s first.

Lorenzo Lopez took a cross from Toronto to knock one in the sidenetting for a 3-0 lead.

Midway through the second half, Toronto picked up his second score with hard fought goal after Lopez took it the length of the field before Toronto’s scrappy play made it 4-0 to cap the win.

BYU-Hawaii hosts Chaminade at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
