Thanksgiving at GMA's!!!

 Mom made a fabulous dinner!  We LOVE having her in Utah!

It's always wonderful to have Linda and Mike join us!  Linda is our massage therapists who is a very dear friend to our family.

Pacific Coast Sectionals

 Jordan advanced to the Pacific Coast Sectional Champsionhips!  She finished 8th overall!

 Jasmine and Taylor came to watch her compete her long program.

 My mom once again was the hospitality chair.  Uncle Jeff and his girlfriend Rafael came too!

 New friends from Marriott!  Nancy is the director of sales and her daughter now attends East.  Jordan and Brielle have so much in common and becoming fast friends!

Wouldn't be the same without Leslie and Will!  We use to all work together.  Now Will and I tackle the Acord Ice Rink and Centennial Pool!

Preparing for Sectionals

It's been a year of injuries for Jordan!  She was determined to finish it out and she did so with great performances at Regionals and placing 3rd.  Now she is preparing for Sectionals...Camille and Jordan have skated together for almost 9 years!

"Blessed"

 It's interesting how it only takes a few short seconds for your life to change.  This photo was taken before the game started.  I like how it shows his tatoo that states, "Blessed".  Jordan, Tanner and Mo' brother Anthony couldn't take the weather. They decided to wait in the car. They heard over the radio Mo was injured and laying on the field. I recall hearing Jason's voice shout his name...but not in a cheering way. I just stared at his feet and then I prayed. Please God, let him move his feet. After 10 minutes and still no movement, I knew something was wrong.

No words can describe our feelings...it was very quiet in the stadium.

 I charged the field with Mo's mother Ginger.  At first I hesitated by the sidelines.  How embarrassing if Mo was ready to walk off the field and there were his mommies...I got the attention of another player and he motioned us to go to the huddle of doctors.  We were able to say a few words before they took him to the hospital.

 It felt like time stood still.  We quickly gathered the family and met Mo at the hospital.  It was a very LONG night.  We were told that he is ok and after 6 hours we come home thinking he was soon to be released and we had plans for all of us to eat out.  Mo was even talking about his last away game.  Once I walked in the house, we received the call that Mo's injuries were more complicated and he is staying over night.  I immediately rushed back to Ogden and experienced a very tough night when the doctors shared with us he could no longer play football.  No words can describe the heavy heart I felt for Mo.  It was a scary time for everyone as we heard how close Mo was from being paralyzed.  He may need surgery to relieve the pressure against his spinal cord.  After a very tearful night, Mo collected himself and exemplified courage and a deeper level of strength as he had to regroup and figure out what is the next chapter in his life.

 The next morning he was recharged and felt blessed for how different this morning could have been.

Coach Mac stopped by both days to talk with Mo.  He is a great man and I am sure will never forget Mo as it was his last home football game.  Coach Mac retired and Mo is graduating...

Mo's Last Senior Home Game

 The weather was MISERABLE but nothing was going to stop us attending Mo's last home game.

 It was also our first real snowstorm of the year...which I love!  It was also Jason's 45th birthday!!!

 Welcome to Utah!  Mo's family drove to Utah to attend the game.  They were not quite ready for this weather. 

 I met Mo when he played his Sophmore year at University of Utah.  I can't believe three years have gone by and now I am watching his last college home game.

It was a very bad day...that lead to a very bad injury.

Missing My Dad

It's been four years...still miss him every day.
