This is my favorite picture from Disneyland 2006!

34 days...

A favorite stop when at Disneyland is Downtown Disney- for a visit to the Lego store!


Just think of what you could build with those Legos...

35 days...

2006...our family's 2nd trip to Disneyland. We went with James' parents, my parents and James' Uncle Mike, Auntie Ann and Cousin Jordan.

Can't wait for this trip though...6 of the 8 cousins will be there. Fun!

More LEST Photos

I was able to get 3 more photos of Justin at LEST from another CLS person. He has a better camera than I do and was able to get a couple action shots during a game!

Mixed Martial Arts

Tyler and his buddy Zack trying out some mixed martial arts moves before the fights come on TV tonite.




James instructs Tyler (in yellow) and his friend Zack.






Trying out new moves on his dad.


















James and Tyler do their thing. I don't like it, don't understand it and definitely don't see the fun in it. I guess its a "guy" thing!!!

Warrior End of the Season Parent-Player Game

Justin (in the black shirt) and Grandpa Greg (next to him in white shirt) play in the parent-player (and extended family) game. The team always plays this game at the end of the season and then gives out its awards.


grandpa Greg at the free-throw line and Justin to the right of him.

James and his dad take a break from the high-intensity game.

Justin receiving his award from Coach Hagen.

Justin and Coach Hagen. It was a great season and the kids had alot of fun!

Our Last L.E.S.T.

Justin's school Concordia Lutheran, is involved in a tournament in Portland, Or. every year. It involves schools from 6 states and includes basketball, cheer, music, knowledge, math, drama etc.


Justin is in the Marimba group. They are very talented and have a wonderful teacher.

They played on 2 different days and were also judged on their performance.

Justin and his buddy Kramer. The group won a "blue ribbon" !!!

Justin also plays on the AAA basketball team. Here Coach Hagen had just pulled him out of the game after falling wrong on his already sprained ankle.

#30~my boy!

They lost both games and were out of the tournament- but had a great time anyway!

CLS AAA girls basketball took 1st place so that kinda eased the pain on the boys loss.

Justin with the Marimba award plaque.

We decorated our car for the long drive down to Portland!

What will we do without LEST next year?

Home safely after the long trip. My Valentine's Day roses from James next to my birthday (last week) flowers from my girls at work.
