We Love Jeanine!

So we know that 6th season of So You Think You Can Dance is starting already but it just reminds us how awesome Jeanine was! (If you want to play these...push pause on our music play list first so you can hear the dance music)




And our favorite dance of the year, portraying a drug addict (the girl) and the drug (the guy). She just can't shake the habit in the end...



This one was pretty good too though :)

New Edition

Welcome! Grant Demars Gill! All 8 pounds 10 oz of him was born at 4:29 pm on September 17, 2009 in Rochester, NY. That makes 44 nieces and nephews for us!

Check out the photos below...but seriously, how do you look that good after something that big comes out of you? Mim, you are amazing!


Cute boy...but hotter mama! :)

Honestly, can you have a better looking couple?

Look how cute you are!

Catching up!

Wow! What a summer!! We can't believe it is coming to an end. Let's re-cap some things for everyone :)

April- Sharee passed her Family Nurse Practitioner Boards and is "official". Signed a contract with Sacred Heart in the Peds Emergency Department. Works about 10-12 days a month and loves it!

April- The American Banditos could not defend their President's Cup Championship. The "Old Men" brought in some ringers and it came down to just a few points. We'll get 'em next year boys!

May- Keri Adams (our favorite person south of the Columbia River) got married and is now Mrs. Matt McGee. Her wedding in San Diego was fantastic and we were so happy to be a part of it. We love you Keri!

May-
Brynnley (Adam and Noelle's daughter and the "love of Brad's life") turned 1! She is walking, talking and blowing kisses...and Uncle Brad and Aunt Chewie spoil her rotten!



May- Wakeboarding starts early this year. Adam and Noelle bought a sweet new boat and wakeboarding has officially taken over golf...although we are MUCH better at golf.

June- Let's face it...June is just a "countdown month" for Hoopfest. Jacob's team played awesome in 6ft & under Elite! Bob's team made it to the championship game of their hoop in the Open (toughest division). They killed two past champions, Team Atlanta and Team Numerica. Kyle's team (2007 Champs) too made it to their hoop championship in the Open. Adam's team however...they were out on Saturday. :(

July- Spent the 4th of July at the Cabin on Hayden Lake. Fireworks were amazing and Gabe's family (Heather, Sharee's sisters Husband) all got up on the wakeboard...even Gabe! It was sweet.

July- We went on a 5 day Whitewater Rafting Vacation through Hell's Canyon on the Snake River with ROW Adventures. One of the coolest vacations we have ever been on. You raft and kayak all day, stop at historical sites, pictograph's, old cabins and mines, you go on hikes, jump off cliffs...they food was too good:) They set your camp up for you and cater to your every need. There is really no good way to explain it. Again, the food was amazing, the guides were inexplicable and the new friends we met from all over the country really made the trip what it was.

July- Sharee is officially jumping wake to wake. :)

August- Happy birthday to Sharee! Normally Brad plans something cool and this year was no exception but Sharee's brother (Damon) came into town and we had to cancel everything (don't worry, we will do it next year) because we had not seen him for a long time. He also brought the newest member of our family...Tera! (sp?) Damon proposed at the cabin when they came up and are getting married on November 7th in San Antonio, Texas! We love Tera! She is the cutest redheaded Mexican this side of the Rio Grande. Just kidding...but seriously, Damon out-punted his coverage.

August- We took Todd (brother), Heather (sis-in-law), Gabe(bro-in-law) and Heather(sis) on the Clark Fork River for a day of Whitewater Rafting. It was super fun...cold, but fun! Everyone got soaked and the river was running really fast.

Well...that's it for now!

PICS TO COME SHORTLY

Bridger Scott Moss

On December 31, 2008, at 10:22 am, sweet Bridger Scott Moss came into our lives. He was 13.9 ounces (almost a pound) and 10.5 inches long. The doctor’s even said he was rather large and buff for his young age...being the ripe age of 20 weeks. He threw us a curve ball with being a boy, but most everything about him has been unpredictable!

For those who had not heard, he was diagnosed with a congenital birth defect called "Multi-Cystic Kidney Disorder"...basically that means your kidneys do not work and are full of cysts. To make the situation more difficult for him, he only developed one kidney. Most who are diagnosed with this disease have another healthy kidney. Plus, Bridger did not have a bladder either...poor guy was a bit uncomfortable. We were told that odds were he would not make it full term and the best idea for Sharee's health was to induce labor.

The delivery was sad but it went well. We are very blessed to have such a special spirit grace our presence, even if it was only for a few seconds and we look forward to playing with him again someday.

There was a burial service at at Seltice Cemetery with a luncheon for family and friends on Saturday, January 3, 2009. We wanted to thank you for all your prayers of support and love, we have felt each of them personally and they helped us gain strength and courage during this difficult time in our lives. May our Savior, Jesus Christ, bless your lives as each of you have blessed ours!

People have also been asking for photos so... here you go! He is adorable, and absolutely perfect! But we may be a bit bias =).

Congrats Sharee!

My wife is amazing...I'm sure you all say the same :)

A few days ago she officially finished her Masters...a 3 year program that she did in about 18 months! We are still scratching our heads and trying to grasp how she did it. This we know...we are so happy we got in when we did and she finished up quickly due to the fact that all FNP programs will be doctorate programs soon filled with extra admin classes that do not help you prepare to become a better Nurse Practitioner.

(Word to the wise...if you are an RN and want to be an NP someday, enroll now!)

Anyways, she is done, we are excited and are happy it's all over!

Congrats sweetie!
