Thomas is a Deacon

Thomas got the Priesthood shortly after his birthday in September! Doesn't he look SO cute in his new suit!?? (Sorry I haven't posted something before, but I have to wrestle my two daughters, husband and now, my 12 year old boy for computer time!) I wanted to comment on how it MADE my day that Sunday! --Seeing him pass the sacrament for the first time! He looked so solemn and mature--(as mature as a 12 year old can) taking his job so seriously--looking very natural and reverent! It was so nice! I felt PROUD as well as the Spirit and Joy! You mothers with 12 year olds know what I'm talking about! It felt nice.

Brittany chosen as Homecoming Queen

Last week Brittany was chosen as one of the four Senior Homecoming Princesses at Southridge High School. She was presented at an assembly in front of the whole student body escorted by Ryan (one of the Princes) as her escort. It was fun for her.

Later on that night at the football game (a very RAINY football game I might add), parents and family escorted the candidates out onto the field in front of the crowd. They were handed boxes with balloons hidden inside. On the count of three they were told to open their boxes, and whoever had the yellow balloon fly out, was the King or Queen. Nick Derrah was voted the King and Brittany the Homecoming Queen! Yeah Brittany!

This is Brittany on the night of the HOMECOMING dance (Sat.) she went with her friend Jeff White.

They all wear short dresses for Homecoming, and Long formal dresses for Prom. This dress had a 4 inch row of sequins on the bottom to match the shoulders. Whe looked very pretty.

HAILEY'S BDAY

It's the month of birthdays for the Molina family. Hailey turned 14 this month and is enjoying her last year of middle school. She is doing great in soccer and can"t wait to start High school.

THOMAS TURNS 12

Thomas turned 12 on September 26th and celebrated with what else but... a football party. He had a lot of fun with his friends, and on Sunday he received the Aaronic Priesthood in church.

It can't be true!!

Brittany received some of her senior pictures... which means it's true, she only has less than a year left before she starts college... are we that old?? It feels like we were in college just a couple of years ago...

Fall sports

It is back to school and of course, back to sports. Brittany is enjoying varsity soccer at Southridge during her senior year, Hailey is playing for a classic soccer team, Thomas is playing 5-6 grade football for Southridge and Ben is also playing rec soccer. Brandy is busy with her music and other stuff, but she decided to take a break from sports. It is safe to say that our job as "chauffers" is safe for at least 6 more months. Thomas had his first game yesterday and they beat St Helens at St Helens 33 to 19, and he scored 2 touchdowns. He is so fast is amazing to watch. Thomas is number #40. Here are some pictures of video of that awesome game:

Senior Year

Hey! Its been awhile since i've written on this family blog, so its time for an update!
Well summer was great! It went by SO fast though... my last month after travelling non-stop consisted of soccer, work and school meetings. I was gone everyday from 7am-7pm. Haha so for that reason, I was starting to actually look forward to school... plus its SENIOR year! It has already been the BEST so far. Very Very busy... I started school last Tuesday. I have three IB classes and two easy classes, a great balance for my last year at highschool. Annnd, if you already didn't know- I'm part of the Womens Varisty Soccer team at Southridge so I've had practice everyday after school. I love soccer! Plus, I have many friends on my team so its always a good time. We lost our first game, and won our second... I'm excited to see how our team does this year. I even scored a goal :) Well... here are a couple of pictures to illustrate what I've been up too. I hope all is well with everyone else and I'm sureeeeee I'll talk to you later!
