Priesthood

Jason recieved the Aaronic Priestrhood on Sunday. His Grandfather, Buddy ordained him. Those who stood in were Larry Colson, Dan Gardner, Bishop Sorenson, Mike Laberge, and Brother Clifford, Good job Jason! You are an example to me, your family and your friends. We love you!

Scout Camp

Jason just returned from a scout camp in the Gila. He spent 6 days in the wilderness. Jason had a total blast. The requirement of sleeping in a man made shelter without a sleeping bag did not go to well. He lasted til about 3am then had to get in his sleeping bag. These are great memories!

Happy Birthday George!!

George is the big 2 now. Here are some pics of the evening.

We went to the Isotopes game to watch the return of Manney Rameriz. This photo was taken by a guy from the L.A Times. I was sitting next to him when he took this picture. It was a great time. Thanks to Matt, Adin, Alec, Ray and Reneya for hanhing out with Jason, Sariah and I

GREAT JOB IN SCHOOL!!

Schools out!! Our kids did a great job this year!! Thomas finished out the year with all A's. He also received an award that few kids get. Throughout the year kids receive character awards. Well.. Thomas received all 7 throughout the year. He was recognized for this. Jaida also received the same honors as Thomas,all A's and the character counts award. Damin received double gold honor roll. This award is given to students who was on the honor roll all semesters. he also received the same character award as Thomas and Jaida. Sariah received an honor roll award for being on the honor roll for two semesters. Jason was a little short on awards this year.. I do think he would of received the class clown award if it was given. Keep trying Jason. We are so proud of our kids who try really hard. Sarah and I are not much help so all the credit goes to them. Good job Valenzuelas!!

MOTHERS DAY OUT

A couple of weeks before mothers day I was on the Big I 107.9 web site. I saw a contest that they were holding a weekend stay, breakfast and spa treatment at the Tamaya resort. I had to submit a picture of Sarah first thing in the morning. I found this picture of Sarah (Its really before bedtime) and e-mailed it to them with a description of her hard working life. I received an e-mail from miles telling me "Good job Jason. She's in the running". Well I never heard from them again. I thought she didn't win. The other day Sarah talked to Susanne. Susanne asked how was her stay. Sarah had no idea what she was talking about. Sarah's picture was on their website. She won!! This was Thursday 5-28-09. I e-mailed the morning show hoping the prize was still available.. It was! I picked up the prize on Friday which expired on Sunday.. Crud! I was able to book a room for Saturday night. What a awesome place. We had a great time Saturday evening by ourselves (sorry kids). I had to pick up the kids up early in the morning so they could go swimming. We loved the resort life. We hope to win another contest so we can experience it again. Sorry about the pic Sarah. I love you!
