Karissa

Karissa Pauline Jarvis Brown turned 21 on November 21st.  Happy Birthday Karissa!!  Hope your day was great.  Since her birthday was on a Sunday we went out to eat as a family last night for home evening.  We went to Giant Hamburger.  It was rummy!  On her birthday we had Jarvis' and Brown's over for cake and ice cream and a few games.  It was a lot of fun.  The only thing Karissa wanted for her birthday was cowboy boots (picture to come later).  Happy Birthday Karissa we love you!!

Halloween and Jake football

 Halloween 2010!!  We celebrated on the 30th because Halloween was on a Sunday.  Jake as Elvis

 Savanna is the Mad-Hatter

 Jaycie as a court Jester.  Jaycie went with her friend Emily, her mom and dad, and some other girls to haunted houses.  She said there was some good haunted houses. We went over to the Udall's for their annual chili and soups.  They always invite people over because Collin Udall's birthday is on Halloween.  It is a very fun way to start off the evening.

 Savanna wanted to walk around with her friends this year. Ashley, Allison, Savanna, and Shaylee. They are sooooo cute!! I was able to sit out front with my parents, my brother Gene, and Kali joined us this year.   Rob, Kelsey, Karissa, and Barry went to the ASU football game.

 Kelsey dressed up at an ASU devil since she was going to the game. Security took her pitch fork away because it could be a weapon.  She had to get it back at the end of the game.  DUMB! When she got back she went to a dance party with her friend Danny Parker. He was Michael Jackson.  Sorry no picture.

 Had to put this picture in.  These are Jake's friend Tyler Taylor(mountain man) and McKay Angle(cowboy).  Aren't they cute?!!

 Jake had his last football game.  The team didn't have a winning record but Jake was amazing this year!#16  He was on offense, defense, and punt return.  Can't wait until Varsity next year.

 Speaking of Varsity.  They moved up 3 JV players for Varsity's last game. Jake (31), Erik Sanchez(60) and another guy.  They played Hamilton.  Mesa got their butt's kicked.  Jake did get to go in for the last set of defense downs as a safety.  He even made the last tackle of the game.  He went in once in the 3rd quarter as safety because the 1st string guy got hurt alittle.  He did not like standing on the side lines most of the night.  He has never had to do that before.  Usually he is always in.  It was a honor to be moved up for the game so that was good.

Yes, he did the hauka (spelled wrong sorry) before the game.  It is a Mesa tradition for the Varsity to do this.  Bring on 2011 football!!

Kali's Belly 2

 Here is Kali at 20 weeks.  Last week I went with her to another ultrasound she had.  It was so much fun seeing her baby girl.  The baby is measuring right on her due date.  March 13, 2011!  3/4 of a pound and 9 inches long. (that was a week ago so she is a little bigger now)

You can finally tell she is pregnant!!  The little bump!

Jack-o-laterns

 For home evening last night we did our jack-o-lanterns.  I have to say we are all getting really good at it. Everyone was there except for Kason.  He had to take a test for school.  We missed him, but it was Barry's first Jarvis pumpkin carving experience.  Welcome Barry!!!  Here's Jaycie being her funny self.

 Jake cleaning out his pumpkin

 Karissa cleaning out hers.  She really didn't clean out that much because she doesn't like the insides of pumpkins so Barry did most of it.

 Kali was on her own this year.  I think she did a great job.

 Here's Kelsey with her jack-o-lantern.

 The finished product!  Pretty good!

 That is mine and Rob's.  We used a pattern we found on the internet.  That title "What!"

 Last week was Mesa High's Homecoming.  Jake was asked to be on the sophomore float

Sorry out of order but her is Savanna cleaning her's out. It was a fun night!

Big News!!

 Jaycie turned 14 yesterday!!  I can't believe she is 14.  It is crazy!

 She got this cute phat beach cruiser bike!  Love it!

 Happy Birthday Jaycie we love YOU!

On Saturday Rob turned 46!  That is a giant cookie from Paradise Bakery.  He didn't want cake.  The whole family went and saw Secretiarat.  Not sure how to spell it.  Then we went to dinner too.  This was for Jaycie's birthday too.  Now for the BIG NEWS!!!  Are you ready?!  Kali is having a BABY GIRL!!  Sorry no picture but we are all excited.  Jake is disappointed.

September Update

 Savanna and her dance group danced at the Diamondback Game.  They performed right after both teams warmed up.  This picture is all of them on the JUMBOTRON!

 Here's Savanna in her company costume.

 Here they are dancing on the field.  It was fun.

 Mesa High had there little bunnies again this year.  Not to bad of a jump for a 10 year old.  She can jump better than some of the cheerleaders.

 Here's Savanna doing a chant.

 Jaycie had her first choir concert.  She decided to do choir instead of band this year.  She is in Treble Clefs.  It is the second to the highest choir. Not bad, for never being in choir before.

 Jaycie did a great job.

 Here's most of the group.  Jaycie is in the second row, last one on the left.

 On Oct 5th my Dad will turn 85!  We had a little party Sunday after conference to celebrate.  The candle says, "Over the hill too old to count".  Love you GRANDPA!!

Sorry out of order, but her is Savanna with Randy Johnson Bobblehead.  Pretty funny!!
