Kaysha's first homecoming dance

My friend Lauren helped make kaysha's day a little more special by having her come into her salon and doing her hair and make up! I think Kaysha had a great experience she looks so pretty and grown up

I am very blessed love you guys

The girlfriend!

So iv been with Gaby since December 4 2010 and I think it's time I talk about her more then I already do. Her name is Gaby and I met her in my 4 period class my junior year which was my weights class. She caught my eye and I felt like I should try and talk to her and im pretty shy when it's comes to talking to beautiful women. I'm still with her almost two years later! She has been through my side through everything I do. Football games to hanging out on the weekend. I know it's still early so say but we do "love eachother" it's strong puppy love. She is the best girl iv had she does everything for me. She makes me a lunch for work and leaves it by my car every morning before school with a little note in it! Saying how much she loves me and hopes I have a good day so here are some pictures of us through the year he have been together. And since I work full time now and she is still in high school the weekends are the best spending every minute I can with her before Monday shows up! I hate Monday's! I'm sure there's slot more
To talk about us but for right now that's all that comes to
Mind. I will post more pics and more details about our lives as I think about some great memories!

Zane's prom

As always I'm a little late posting these but as I say better late then never! Zane and gabby both looked fantastic cant believe how grown up and handsome he looked!

Carmen's first day of school

All previous years of my children's lives I have always taken their picture by the front door, this year however was a little different with Zane not being in school anymore, Zachary being a junior and Kaysha being a sophomore! The older kids left the house pretty quick that morning in a hurry to start there new year ! So that left me and Carmen all on our own! Carmen is in fourth grade this year it's crazy how time flies

PROBUILD FLAG FOOTBALL

So with my new job I have. The sales men started the " second string" which is the team name of our flag football team. We have games every week and practices on sundays I give it my all on the field beings I'm not playing for collage so I miss playing football. We are currently 2-1 and I will update this every week after our games and upload more pictures of me being a boss on the field. I play wide out and slot and on defense I play safety or cornerback. And no one can catch over me cause im a boss like that! Anyways catch ya next week!

Live life to the fullest. By yours truly Zach Raymond

I've been playing football ever since I could but it seems every year I'm always second guessing my love for the sport. Everyone tells me your going to regret not playing your last two years of football and now I understand because as soon as I put on those pads with your brothers all lined up next to you you feel a part of a brother hood that you can't get other then when your on the field. I love being part of the football team if it wasn't for my parents helping me through my decision I wouldn't be playing. Now for the big part of my life.... My grades now that Zane is out of school all the pressure is now on me to graduate which I'm not to worried about because school is easy once you get the game figured out if you go to your classes and do the work which isn't hard, it's sometimes challenging but life's a challenge all you have to do is keep your head raised and power through it I feel like this year my junior year is going to be one of my better years. I know I can do it just a challenge that I have to face in life. I know the title is "live life to the fullest" well that's what I'm doing and for every little speed bump life throws at me I'm going to be ready for the challenges it faces me

Summer fun

Had a blast with my wife this summer. Took a couple trips cancan Mexico Las Vegas. We just had our 11 wedding anniversary spent it in Las Vegas. We have a pretty special thing going we have worked together for 7 years pretty much spend all of our time together and it's great. When I'm not with her I miss her.. Pretty cool.. We have three full blown teen agers that are all going through the good years making mistakes and livin life. It's a lot easier for me to deal with the boys of the house. I'm a little worried how to deal with the girls Kaysha is almost 16 and Carmen 10 so I have a few years before every boy in school wants to go out with her.
It Christina's birthday today so Christie and I are taking her out to dinner.

Zane's birthday weekend!

So glad Zane got to choose where we got to eat lunch! Love this place wish they had one in Idaho

First blog of the year

<p>Hello all my fans out there how have we been. I have made a pretty crutial decision in my life, I have decided to actually play fotball this year. For those who didn't know I made a foolish decision on not going to the hole smmer football camp because of my work... I have been playing since I was 8. And to think I would give that up for something I'm going to bedoing the rest of my life is rediculious anyways. Let me know howyou guys feel toward my decision

Pretty girl

I have a feeling it's gonna be somewhat difficult to keep the boys away

Zane's 18th birthday

Had a blast last weekend. Zane turned 18 years old Friday the 13 July 2012. He wanted to spend the weekend with his family in lagoon!!! (awesome) so that's what we did. Zane Zachary and Trey all went on the sky coaster first. We had all been to lagoon numerous times but none of us had ever been on that ride. I'm sure they will never forget it. They put you in a full body harness and lift 156 feet in the air where you have to pull your own rip cord to release!! They had a blast. Next it was moms turn both Christie's momma and my sis both very scared of heights. while I was trying to talk them into doing it Jeff was buying the non refundable tickets. It was perfect they were scarred they screamed but they did it!! We spent the whole day there with our family my sisters family and heather and adri also spent the day with us it was nice. We stayed in a hotel got up and went school shopping.

Family BBQ

Went on a journey today we are actually still driving home. Zach is driving grandmas cadillac STS we are past mountain home now getting close to home. We went to a family BBQ in Burley where Christies aunt and uncle Dennis and Paula were in town from Ocala Florida. So we all met at her uncle Mikes. Mikes daughter Heather drove in from Toole Utah. It was nice to see everyone. Good food and good conversation. What more do you need on a Sunday afternoon. Heather was diagnosed with sistic fibrosis and is on a donor list for a lung transplant Heather is only 34 years old it is very sad to hear her story.
Christies grandma Dorothy was there which was awesome after all she's been through. She is still driving??
Like I said it was a nice trip were in Boise now home safe.
