We had a great Christmas vacation and now its time to get back to work at the college,
Paul started this past week and I start on the 28th. It wears me out just thinking about it. I drove to Las Vegas Friday, and stayed over night. Watched Jonathan-on the JV team and Maurice on Varsity, play basketball at Palo Verde High School. Watched Ashton play basketball at Faith Lutheran school-he's in first grade. We ate at Kurt and Tinas for dinner and breakfast, and before leaving for St. George we ate at a place called CREATE, where you create your own hamburger. Pretty fun. It was good to see the kids down there.

Travels for the Weekend

We had a fun weekend. On Friday, we headed to Las Vegas to celebrate Kurtis' birthday and to watch Maurice play his football game. He's a great player. Big/Tall/on offense and defense. We also got to enjoy the company of Jill, Jonathan & Samantha. Russ & Kori, Garrett, Grant & Gracie, Kurt & Tina, Max, Ashton, Cameron & Macy. We had cake for Kurt that Tina made for us. We then headed to San Diego. Stayed over night at a hotel, then traveled the rest of the way on Saturday morning. We found our hotel and then were driven to the Fashion Mall where we caught the trolley that took us straight to the Qualcomm Stadium. It is a massive stadium, where the San Diego Chargers play their games. We sat in the sun for awhile, but were so hot, we moved over to the other side, with mostly San Diego fans, but shady. BYU has played better, but they won 39-28. The stadium was mostly full except for the top two or three layers. We went back to the mall by way of the trolley, walked around the huge mall then called our motel and they came and picked us up and took us back to the hotel. Next morning, we ate at the hotel, quite a lucious meal, and got packed and headed for the San Diego temple. Then home. We looked for a church as we were dressed to go to church, but didn't find one, so we drove home in our Sunday clothes and arrived in the evening about 8:00. I would have liked to stay another day, so we could go see some of SanDiego sights, but because we had to be back to work on Monday, we didn't. We drove almost 1000 miles to see BYU play their game against San Diego. Maybe some other time we'll get to do something else in San D. Oh, and shoot, we forgot our camera so we don't have any pictures.

I went Las Vegas to watch Jonathan play football and the next day we went to see Max play soccer. After that we headed over to Cafe Rio, then the big boys-well Maurice, had to go practice football, we watched BYU play Tulane, then I headed home. Fun to see a few of the family!!
