I DID IT!!!

I GOT MY LEARNERS PERMIT. I am so exited. It took me two time to pass it though. The first test i got 78% which means I didn't pass. You have to get at least 80% to pass. So I went back to study for a while then I took it again. I got 88% the second time. I was so exited. I was even more exited that my picture was good. Wish me luck on driving. Well my parents are thrilled that i get to drive. so i have only driven 2 times, but i freaked my dad out the first time. i was backing out of the driveway and i accidentally pressed the gas instead of the break. it freaked him out. but besides that i am a fantastic driver. he will even admit it.

I'm 15

I'm 15 and you know what that means. . . . . . . . . I CAN GET MY LEARNERS PERMIT. I am so exited to drive. I want to be able to have my own car. Thats why i got a job, so that i could buy my own. I just need to finish reading the book. Its not a fun book to read so i am having a really hard time making it through it. I will let all you know if i pass the test. I HOPE I DO.

TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so i know that this is a little late but I'm finally going to post our nice twilight stuff. So for my birthday i took 7 of my friends to the midnight premiere of twilight. Thanks to my mom we all had a ton of fun. We were all so exited that we weren't tired at all. I was so happy with how it all turned out. we had so much fun. This has to be the best birthday that i have ever had. I don't know how my 16th is going to be. I just don't think that this birthday can ever be topped.

HIGH SCHOOL M,USICAL!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH i loved this movie with all my heart. My friends and i kinda felt weird cuz it was us and a ton of 10-12 year old girl. It was a great movie. I can't wait for it to come out. I now have a new love. His name is ZAC EFRON. He is so so hot. I can't stand it. I want a life size cut out of him for christmas. My all time favorite song in this movie is "the boys are back" or "scream". Everytime i hear them i start to sing. ha ha i just don't have anything to say exepet I LOVED IT. IT ROCKS LIKE A POTATO BUG ROLLS!!! I recomend it to anyone. I would go see it again in a heart beat if i could. GO SEE IT.

WOW he is 40

So i threw my dad a surprise birthday party. he completely was surprised. He thought he was just coming to pick us up at Brent's house. I was happy everything turned out so good. Thanks to everyone who came and everyone who helped out.

GO UTES GO!!!

This University of Utah football season we know someone who got us ticket. So my dad and CJ have gone to almost every home game. It has been good for them to bond i guess. So my dad has all of a sudden gotten into photograph so he has taken some really cool pictures at the games.

He has a girfriend

Out of all the kids to get in trouble on the bus it is tyson who gets in trouble. the bus driver has to pull the bus over cuz he wouldn't keep his hands to himself. when my dad asked him what he was doing he said "dad i was just trying to hug my girlfriend" it was hilarious. he has had a crush on this girl in our ward since kindergarden. we all think he is so funny.

I DID IT

Ok the other day i applied for a cleaning job at Draper Elementary. So i went in and he asked if i was there for the job and i said ya then he said "you are hired". i was happy. so i had to go to a class on tuesday then i started work on wednesday. it is only for a hour 1/2 a day right after school. i get $200 a month. i am so exited. well i have to clean bathrooms so its not all that fun but it is a job so i guess you don't work cuz it is fun you work for the pay check.

It is a miracle!!!

Ok the other day my mom wasn't home to make dinner for some reason so my dad just ran over to smith's and got a bag of fried chicken. Braxton refused to eat. But we talked him into it. He now loves friend chicken.

BASEBALL IS FINALLY OVER

Well so we are finally done with the baseball season. CJ's team came in first in the tournament but only second in the season. Braxton's team did really well in the season but not quite sure what place he took. And then there is Tyson who as my mom say is the hardest kid she has had out of all of us. His team had a ok year. Well we are all happy that it is over. oh ya i made like $500 working at the snack shack.

1. Pig boxers

2. monkey P.J. pants

3. Monkey Hoodie

4. Utah Zip up Hoodie

and

5. the quillow

here is the other projects i have made

Tyson is 6

OH MY GOSH he is already six. it is crazy. This year he just wanted to have a fun party at our house. We played some fun game and then decorater some giant suger cookies. This is Cortney's (its a laightsabor). So he just had a fun day.

Baseball

This year tyson is the dogers. he has had so much fun with his team, it has been a crazy time but he loves it.

Lets The Games Begin!

Baseball season is around the corner. Games for all the boys start this week (4/1/08) This past week we have had a few practice games for the boys to get them on track. It has been really cold and we woke up Sunday to a little bit of snow on the ground. Gotta love Utah!

This is Tysons first year playing and he is excited to be on the Dodgers. Braxton is in his first year of kid pitch and looks like he is going to be a regular pitcher for his team. Should be exciting to say the least. CJ is not to happy to be playing for the Red Sox this year(either is Dad). He was supposed to be the White Sox and at the last minute things got changed up. CJ has a big challenge ahead on him this year as he moves to a bigger field layout. He will be pitching from 48' and as a catcher he has to work with 70' bases to control runners.

Even Cortney is involved in baseball this year. She accepted a job to work in the snack shack on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am sure she will keep plenty of Diet Coke on hand for Grandma and Grandpa Jeffries!

Mom and Dad are idiots! Both Kris and I are serving on the league Board of Directors. Kris is the Secretary for the league. She handles all coorispondence from the website (sevalley.com) and the phone hotline. She also handles the payroll for the leagues umpires. It has been a HUGE job this year. You would not believe the crap she takes! I was voted in as a Director in the league with responsibility over equipment. Outfitting 940 kids and 87 coaches has been mind numbing. Although it has been kinda fun spending almost $10k on sports equipment and not a dime has come out of my pocket for once!

Please pray for us.... 3 Boys playing, 1 Daughter working, Mom and Dad with overall league responsibilites, Dad acting as Bronco Commissioner, and Dad Coaching CJ. INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!

EAST CANYON and the trailer sound pretty dang nice about right now! Memorial Day can not come too soon. Come visit us in spot #50 next to the Jeffries and right across from Mr. Big "B" Rose. I promise it will be a major summer kick off party!

Easter

This year Easter was fun. This year Easter was a bit early but as usual it was beautiful! We had our Jeffries Easter early so that we could enjoy it with Jenn and Greg before they left for Oklahoma. We are really going to miss them! Then we had a little egg hunt and lunch over at Grandma Roses the Saturday before easter. We had a little suprise visit from the Pratts. They drove down from Washington for a week to suprise us all. Over all it was an extra fun Easter. Just a little too much candy as usual. Ha ha.

2008 WRESTLING

Ty - This is Tyson's first year wrestling for Alta Wingz. He is catching on real quick and won his first match this past week against Riverton.

Brax - Our mild manored "B" is a terror on the mat. You would be blowen away to watch him out there. He is 3-0-1, and the one tie the kid got lucky in the last few seconds and tied it up then refused to go into overtime because he prefered to just take the tie rather chance losing. B was pissed!

CJ - CJ is a natural wrestler. To date he is 4-0 with 4 pins. I think they have gone out and found the 4 biggest 5 graders in the valley and matched them up with CJ this year so far. This last week he learned a good life lesson from his Mom. CJ was paired up with a kid from Hillcrest that was a full head taller and at least 10lbs heavier. As we were walking to the mat CJ looked up to his Mom and said "I'm screwed". That didn't sit well with Mom and she gave him a quick physc lesson on positive thinking and he went out and pinned the kid in the last round.
