TRIP TO SAN DIEGO TO SEE THE CARL MOODY FAMILY & BYU VS. SDSU- JAN. 23-25, 2009.

Here's some fun hills we saw from the park, that people do a lot of dirt bike riding on.
The next morning we went to a park near their home so the boys could play on their scooters, play with a soccer ball & also on the playground equipment. I got lots of video clips that I will post below, but not any good snapshots. Carl also played some football with his buddies. Here's Jay & Chantel watching the boys. Chantel is due any day with her 3rd boy. We saw some rabbits & a squirrel around their home place. Carl went with Jay & I to Coriann's game at 2:00 p.m., which was a sad ugly loss. We got some little Ceasar's pizza & came back & watched more basketball. After church the next morning, Jay & I caught our plane back to Salt Lake. We got to the house in Orem around 9 p.m., after a delayed flight & a bumpy ride, because of snow.

        Some fun ocean pictures of the Carl Moody family.
Jay & I flew on Jet Blue to San Diego, found a place to get some books for the boys & met Carl, Chantel, Crew, & Jax at Applebee's for dinner. After coming back to their cozy, sort of in the country home, on the outskirts of Temecula, we talked until about 11:30 p.m.

DROVE TO ST. GEORGE & VISITED AUNT PEARL & TOOK SCOTT TO SEE BYU BEAT UNLV- 67-62, ON JAN. 21, 2009.

   We always have a great time visiting with Aunt Pearl & listening to all of her fun stories about her life and family, including my Dad, Ray, who is her brother.

BYU WOMEN LOSE A CLOSE GAME WITH #25 ranked NEW MEXICO- 57-61 (Jan. 17, 2009)

 Coriann & Shawnee going for the rebound.  Coriann played 14 min. had 3 pts., 2 rebounds & 1 assist. Lots of Coriann's friends from home attending BYU-I came to watch her game. The family all went to Jason's Deli (one of our favorites) to eat after the game & then Coriann, Janica & Seth came to watch some more basketball on TV at my brother's home, where Jay & I stay.
