Jessica's Bday party...and she wasn't happy. But hopefully everyone had a great time? Thanks for driving Adriana!

Christmas/Presents/Parties

This is a picture off our balcony at Pacific Beach that Bret had framed. (how sweet)

This was a treasure hunt to find my gifts by clues........Yes- he's throwing my very tanned body into the salty waters for sharks to feed on. (take a number pal)

More basketball

Jazzyloo is so adaorable

Football Banquet

I was able to get through the entire 2 hour( 93 boys-each presented w/ a certificate and hugging EVERY coach) presentation without losing it! Well almost...but it was the end, and nobody really saw me bawling my eyes out. Brody was so funny-he saw me and shouted " You're going to do this now!"
And then at home I watched his highlight DVD twice and cried through the whole thing! I can't help it-I'm so proud of him, and I've turned into Chana-who cries at everything!

This is Coach Miller (my camera was taking crappy pics) We love coach Miller

Brody, Anthony, and Tracy

Brody and Shaun

Katsos, Breeze, and Hansen

One last huddle......so sad

Anthony, Tracy, and Mookie before every game in the locker room would goof around and dance and sing to "Party in the USA "(Ellie would love that)

Not that I would know that personally- but the coach called them all up and had them show everyone. (they didn't think the coaches ever knew)

When he called Brody up he said what a fun kid he was (true that) and that when Brody started the program he was "a small, doughboy". And the "steriods kicked in and now he is small but strong and full of muscles and heart!"

I can only hope he has this much heart and drive in every aspect of his life- no matter what he does from here. He is such a wonderful son and brother and I can only hope and pray he stays at home forever!!!
I love you #74
