Kailyn makes headlines


Travis opened the newspaper Friday evening and said hey that looks like Kailyn and sure it enough there she was right on the front page. I love that she is wearing her school t-shirt. And how cute is that inquisitive look on her face!? Maybe that is why he chose her as his volunteer. She was so excited to be on the front page that she took the paper to school with her the next day. She even signed a few autographs. It's great to be famous.
I decided to check out their website and found really cool slideshow that shows exactly what they were doing. There are some adorable shots of Kailyn in it.
Tyler started wrestling this week. He has wrestle-offs on Tuesday (for those that don't know wrestle-offs are where you wrestle everyone in your weight class to see where you will be in the lineup) and then the first tournament is on Saturday. As of right now he will wrestle 189 but that could change depending on how much weight he looses once he is excersizing again every day.
Allias has basketball tryouts on Thursday. If he makes the team he will be playing both city league and school ball this winter. He is way excited and I really really hope he makes the school team. He tried out last year and didn't make it but he has been practicing a lot and working to improve his skills so we shall see. He also got called as the Deacon's quorum president and was set apart today at church.
Travis and his scout troop did a canned food drive this weekend and I wish that I had pictures of the amount of food they collected. The food bank was totally shocked that they collected so much food in three or four hours. They donated enough food for 520 meals. I know the boys felt great about their accomplishment and its great to know that even during hard financial times there are so many good people out there willing to help those less fortunate.
