up date

I thought I would give an up date on the family
because it's been forever since I posted.
(not in order either, that would take to
much thought right now)

-The kids all started school, the boys in 7th & 8th grade
the girls in 1st (all day) and 5th grade. They all seem to
enjoy their classes and are having fun meeting new friends.
-I started school and for some reason am taking 14 credits.
oh, That's why I haven't posted in a while.
-I also got called as the 2nd councilor in the Y.W.
-All 4 kids are doing soccer. Luckily the girls are still in
rec so all their games are in Orem. They love it and
I have to say they are both really good. The boys are both
still with the UC Strikers, which I am so glad because they have such
great friends on their teams. Plus their kicking butt!
-They will both be in State Cup starting here is a few weeks.
I'll keep you posted.
-Greg had pneumonia and Bronchitis a few weeks ago, not fun.
He pulled a muscle in his neck from coughing and has now
had a headache for a week and a half.
-He also got to go to California this week for a work conference.
He said he has never seen so many nerds! and it was nice to have
a break from the norm fora few days.
So with 8 soccer games a week,(and 6 practices) 14 credits and y.w.'s
I may not be posting as often, but I'll try, I'm also trying to keep
my house clean it's going about as well as the posting.
Hope you all are doing great
in your own crazy busy lives.

Schofield

At the end of every summer we go
to my Grandma Leavitts cabin with the
Routts. This is a fun tradition that we all love.

We all went to the lake to fish, or tried to fish..

Here is a great pic of Greg, he'll let
Issac take his picture but not me

All the kids in the wagon, we seem
to take this same picture every few years

And here is ALL the kids, Peerys and Routts
this was a really fun trip, and easier too now that
the kids are getting older.

yes, the hairy and the hairless
what more can I say.........................

And here they are on top of a monster
tractor, as you can see Christain and
Sam are playing out some sort of violent
drama? don't ask

And the littlest Routt, mimi.
She was so cute, she followed Tyler
around and always wanted to be with him.

(pictures from the same outing without
the kids on my other blog)

Last night of Summer

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
DAN, SAVANAH AND NATE

Grandma and Savanah with
her birthday card

And here is all the grand daughters
(minus Stella) Anna thinks she to big to be
held, but she's not big enough to
hold still.

Aydelyn and Ava love to be daring
on the play ground, their two wild
and silly girls

Aydelyn loves the babies, I usually
have to fight over the babies with her
and Savanah. Here is Aydelyn with
4 month old Sadie

And a closer look at Sadie, I think she
looks just like her mommy

Anna trying to give some lovin to Sadie,
too cute

And the newest addition to the Peery family
Mason Van Peery.

He is such a cutie, and a really good
baby. He has the peery look!

It's here.....at long last

So we made it here, showed up around ten,
and what did we see?
TOTAL CRAZINESS
no, really. Some people went all out.
It was fun though just watching everyone.

Karen, me and Lori braved it out, although Karen wanted
to walk home when she realized how
late we would be there.
Lucky for us Rachel was super rad and got
us wrist bands in the seventies, so at 11:30
we got to stay in the store when everyone above 200
had to go wait outside.
THANK YOU RACHEL
(here she is handing me my copie)

Like I said people were crazy dressed up, alot of
girls in prom dresses, and a ton of Vamps, of course.
Here are some that I got a shot of.
I love the saying on this shirt.

It was cute these girls chased me down a few
minutes after I took their pics to ask
what the pictures were for, they thought I
was with a newspaper, I wish.

Edward and Bella look a like.

Wall to wall mania

Fun shirts were all over the place.

And pure crazy everywhere.

We got it...........
I stayed up a few hours and read.
I am about 250 in and loving it.
Not ANYTHING like I thought it would be,
but good.
I'll keep you posted...

When we remodeled our basement we added two walls of book shelves.
I thought it would be fun to put things on the shelf that were
from and about our family, it being a "family room".
Here are some of the items on the book shelves.
1. A ceramic hunting boy painted by Gregs Grandma, Sadie Peery.
2 A ceramic horse also painted by Sadie. This was one of the
hobbies she loved to do, she made figures for all her
kids and grandkids.
3,4. Hand carved wooden heads from Africa. My Grandpa
and Grandma Leavitt went to Southern Africa on a misson
when I was a child. My Grandma gave me these heads because
I kept borrowing them for reports
at school, she finally said just keep them.
5. This is Grandpa Brownies hat. He always wore this hat,
just barley tilted to the side.
6. A Hippo carved out of stone, also from Africa.
7. This "man on a bike" I got for Greg one year for Christmas,
it's all the way from Pier One.
8. This wood box is from Hawaii. When my mom lived in Hawaii
she bought it for her mother, Edna Leavitt, then when
I was turning 16 my Grandma gave it to me.
9. A camera and camera bag from Grandpa Browie, (or
Grandma Chomer, depending on who you talk to.)
10. And a ceramic buffalo, another of Grandma Peerys figures.
My kids love all these figures, in fact Aydelyn moves
the little hunting boy to her room sometimes, I keep
having to move it back.
Anyway these are some of the treasures that we have on our
book shelves, along with books. I was in the mood to
take picture so I decided to take some of these. They are fun
things to help the kids learn more about those that they
don't get a chance to meet or get to know. Enjoy.

Strikerfest

Strikerfest was held over the 24th weekend.
The U14 Boys didn't do to bad, yet the competition
wasn't that bad either, until the final game.
The boys won 3 games, tied one and lost in the
finals. 4-0
It wasn't pretty, 2:30 in the afternoon
with 100' heat and a lot of injuries.
Tyler played hard and had fun, (until
that last game.)
