Happy birthday David. The big 30!! And for his birthday I got to meet Joan Laporta. I´m sure nobody knows who that is but he´s the President of Futbol Club Barcelona (BARÇA). He´s here in our offices right now. It´s interesting to meet people like this because you look at them and see that they are just normal people...until you listen in on their phone conversation and he´s talking about a project worth 100 million euros...then you realize he´s a normal person who plays with LOTS of money!

I´m sure this information will be boring for most of you, but it´s made my day a little less boring. love you all.

OH! mom and dad, just wanted to let you know that David was so excited about his birhtday present and went right out and bought, what else, an indoor soccer ball!

Happy Birthday Nathan
we are very proud of you!!
Love Mom and Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!

38 years old!

Have a wonderful wonderful happy day. Love you.

Christmas is fun in February too. Right Jeff?!!?

Four weeks, three days...that´s my count down for Girls Camp. The stake gave me an overwhelming 6 weeks to prepare for camp. Of course they have NO idea what a real camp should be like. So, I´m trying to pull off a well organized camp this year... we´ll see how it goes!

Besides camp....nope, right now there´s nothing more to life than camp. OH wait! This saturday I´m throwing a surprise birthday party for David. He turns 30 tomorrow! Just so you know you´re ALL invited!

A big thanks to MOM for her wonderful wisdom about camp! She´s heping me a lot. However, for next year I expect her to come out and really help me! Then these Spanairds will really know what camp is all about!

Love you all. Miss you all. Wish I could live next door to you all. Hugs and kisses for EVERYONE!

Cindi,as promised pulled through ( a little late, but as promised :)

Cindi sent me a Real Madrid FC Scarf. It now borders the other half of my window...opposite of rival FC Barcelona. The scarf Cindi got me looks very similiar to this one that I found on the web.


Along with the scarf was a brilliant and very sturdy Real Madrid FC Key Chain. It was not a cheap item. Cindi pulled up strong. I am very grateful. I know she was cringing when she purchased the gear...but at least she was in Madrid when she purchased the and did not get beat up as the Ignorant American buying madrid gear in Barca!


I hope all is well with all of you around the world. I messaged Andy while he was in Germany...sounds like he was having a good time checking vw shops and such.

To catch you up with me...

...I'm not far from 30, and chillin with soccer. I have been learning tons about recruiting and have focused more on the specifics. Also I have been truly working on the development of myself as a coach as well as the coaches in our club. I have learned that being an adult is no fun at all. However, the highlight of the last few weeks...I acquired a little 10 year old girls team. Oh how fun and rewarding these girls are. They are fun and bring back what it is all about! Thes girls have revived me and remind me all the time why i love soccer so much.

Teaching the basics, I mean the real basics, have really helped my coaching eye. I have not said "lock your ankle" in years...well at least not like this. It is fun, they are fun and a very happy upbeat group.

Recruiting is nearly complete. Especially on the girls side. We are slowly removing all of the boys that we do not want back...or should I say, they are removing themsleves...bad grades, getting in trouble, etc. We have a no tolerance policy this semester and it is clearing a lot of bad eggs.

Anyway, no girl to talk about as "soccer is wife."

Love and miss you all!

HELLO PEOPLE!!!How´s everyone doing???? Obviously busy because nobody has time to write on the blog!! Love you all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY !!!

We hope you have a FABULOUS day.

We´ll be thinking about you. Love you LOTS!

We are thinking about you on your big day.

We love you lots and lots.

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill
seems like such a large
amount when
you donate it to church, but
such a small amount
when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when
you're at church, and how
short they seem when you're
watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't
find ! a word to say when
y ou're praying,
but you have no trouble
thinking what to talk about
with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult
and boring it is to read
one chapter
of the Bible, but how easy
it is to read 100 pages of
a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?

Isn't it strange how everyone
wa! nts front-row-tickets
to concerts or
games, but they do whatever
i! s possi ble to sit at the last
row in Church?

Isn't it strange how we need to
know about an event for
Church 2-3
weeks before the day so we can
include it in our agenda, but we can
adjust it for other events in
the last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult it
is to learn a fact about God to share it
with others, but how easy
it is to learn, understand,
extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how we
believe everything
that magazines and newspapers
say, but we question the words in the
Bible?

Isn't it strange how everyone
wants a place in
heaven, but they don't want
to believe, do, or say anything
to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send
jokes in e-mails
and they are forwarded
right away,
but when we are going to send
messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share
it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

ALEXA!!!

8 years old!!!!

David and I hope you have a wonderful day.

We love you very much.
