She had the Shin-dig of the century - Well at least one that will be talked about for sometime! The Reason, well the soda pop and potato chip party that got broken up by the COPS!!! Quite the funny story - Have to post more later, Facebook friends have already read about it. So, as of August 6th she turned 16 and Today September 6th - she passed her driver's Test! Does she have her license? NO! She is hoping soon - Well that definitely depends on if Nasty Jocey is living here or Nice Jocey - I guess the future will tell all!<br /><br />On-the-other hand - She has definitely defied the odds of being a 6 week preemie and my smallest and sickest baby. She is taller than Zoey & Alissa and gets told all the time that she looks like the oldest! (She loves it, they hate it)<br /><br />Jocey is her Mother's daughter, personality, Looks, Temperment & Oh yes, Stubborness!!! Life is never boring with Jocey around. Jocey loves acting, singing, dancing, oh and BOYS! She has more guy friends than female friends - Sounds like her MOM - She basically has said she would rather hangout with 5 guys than 5 girls because there is no DRAMA. Needless to say, Our house this summer was filled with so many different male friends that I had to constantly ask the boys if I had met them already....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:180%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Happy Late Birthday Jocey Bossy!!! </span></span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191712742690326318.post-58873482683148528262011-08-22T20:35:00.000-07:002011-08-22T21:00:42.833-07:00My awesome Nephews!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV4UEUaOfbgtZKP7mGdZA5kxtwBe0KOKkQFHPV0mrHv4eCr4P_yOC8ZbK76uKDODQRLRwhM7GWWSr2T0_8Pz7iwzpg4v6UzQK3Y7xy6-Xh2oC99T9UOuCKvo_PxDQMzbNBtlQrasC-2Cob/s1600/IMG_3000.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV4UEUaOfbgtZKP7mGdZA5kxtwBe0KOKkQFHPV0mrHv4eCr4P_yOC8ZbK76uKDODQRLRwhM7GWWSr2T0_8Pz7iwzpg4v6UzQK3Y7xy6-Xh2oC99T9UOuCKvo_PxDQMzbNBtlQrasC-2Cob/s320/IMG_3000.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643891766895194658" border="0" /></a>

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Ok, if I said I was proud of my nephews it would be an understatement!! On August 9th Taylor Sanders jumped on a plane to South Africa for the next 24 months. On August 10th Drew Sanders was dropped off at the Provo MTC for 3 weeks and then off to Montana for 23 months and my Chase moved in with us for 1 month until he heads up to BYU Idaho! Wow I missed a lot of their years growing up - but I sure do love them like they are my own! What a tribute to a great MOM who kept them on the right path - I love you Beth you are my HERO - Now and Always!

<br />OK so while we went on Trek my awesome and amazing Sister & Brother in Law watched my boys, so in return we took there boys the following week while they went to the dusty plains of Wyoming. Garrett, 13, basically watched TV/ Movies and played Video games - That boy does not like to go outside.... Nate, 5, On the other hand is ready for an adventure - Reminds of Hunter! Well we had rain showers, or should I say when didn't we have rain showers, so the Snail population was ginormous!!!!! Nate was in heaven, so I gave him a plastic cup and he filled that bugger to the top. Then we released them behind the back shed to find new homes. It was fun to watch and fun to have a small one around again!!! Thanks Nate for entertaining your Auntie

Best thing about Rugby he plays 2 games each Saturday, each game being only 30 minutes long - IT'S AWESOME!

They were unofficial Aggies for three days. She can't tell me enough how leadership camp is the best. They had a dance off - and the 2 finalists were Zoey and Kenny both from Riverton High School - No shocker there - Zoey can definitely tear it up on the dance floor.She is teaching summer dance workshops with TDC and taking technique classes with CVAC and Elite this summer - She loves it and well she must, she pays for all of it on her own - She does amaze me! She has just started having SBO meeting and planning 2011-2012 and being DCO president next year she is trying to coordinate all her comings and goings - especially sharing a car with her sisters.<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Alissa has been working non-stop at Mulligans Golf to earn money for BYU - She is a trooper - With Chris being unemployed for 9 months and now underemployed, she has had to take on a lot of responsibility - Yet she does without complaint!

She dates non-stop, when she isn't working and well let's just say she never cleans her room, and when she is home she is sleeping in her messy room....Wow- Can I have that life, please????<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Jocelyn just finished her last Road Drive and is ready to take her driving test - However she still has 3 weeks before she is 16 and 1 month more after that til she can actually have her license. That is if she doesn't get grounded this week or take her mom's phone. ( Yeah I know she complains she is still the only teenager out there without a Cell phone....Yeah Yeah Yeah cry me a river - These things are earned at t his house and well she has lots of earning to do!!!!!) Jocey is with a new friend everyday and every night - in fact sometimes there are new kids here every hour. She loves facebook, playing in the rain, taking crazy pics and hanging with ZOEY!

So for the past 4 years we have done Super League or Club league baseball. First with the Utah Rangers then the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Riverton</span> Rats and Stone has absolutely loved it - til this year..... No complaints about the game or the team or even the coaches it's been the WEATHER!!!!! Longest Winter on record here in Utah and we go tired of it really fast. Up until about June 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> we were bundled in blankets had hand warmers wherever we went to play, just in case, umbrellas and a change of shoes in the car. We had to travel down south to St. George to get some sunshine and warm weather and that still wasn't a guarantee this season. Stone has played many tournaments this year traveled to and from St George, Idaho, up and down the I15 more than I can count, had more rain outs this year, more cancelled delayed and postponed games on record, filled in on a couple of other teams for tournaments and finished June in Omaha, Nebraska at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Slumpbuster</span> Tournament. The boy can't get enough and really it is never a fight when it's time from practice or another one of the 5 or 6 games he has in a usual week. The thing that killed him the most this year was going a full 10 days without a game or practice due to field and weather conditions.

The Alissa, Zoey, Jocey, Stone, Hunter & Bronson (Alissa's friend) went to St George and Mesquite to get some needed sun and baseball action. The girls stayed in one room and the boys in the other. Mind you I am pretty sure the boys needed a babysitter? Even though Bronson is 18 I think he had more fun playing video games and going to the vending machines late at night than Stone and Hunter did? We love him, he is a great friend to have with us!

(Mind you this is my 3.75 gpa 11th grader, soon to be senior) "Yeah is 1 half of 2? - I am having a really hard time thinking right now." </span><br />And so there you have it the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Quote of the Week</span> - my almost 17 year old - has reverted back to 1st grade math, maybe I should take her back to school with me, so this never is the issue again?
