This year we promised the boys we would sign them up for a football camp. We wanted to put them in BYU football camp, but they didn't have room for Kory, so we decided to stay local and just signed them up for CSU. A great way to spend the first week of Summer break.

| I love this picture of the boys! They had extra tee shirts so Trey and Makai got one too. I feel so lucky to have this handsome group. |

The camp was a two day camp. They ran the boys a lot. These pictures were just the beginning. Then they went outside to the practice field. They also had swim time and meals. Lots and lots of drills and fun. They were so excited to use their cleats and learn some plays. When I came home from Youth Conference on Saturday the boys were at the park practicing football drills with Monty. I almost cried as Kyle saw me and ran over to me in his Chargers jersey. He had the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face. Right now his dream is that of many 11 yr olds--to be a professional football player. My dream is for him to play, have fun, and not get hurt, but that is the mom in me I guess.
While at the pool this week some guy says, "Hey Salanoa's!" I was thinking, "Who the heck knows my kids?!" The boys responded, 'Hey coach!' Oh, then it all made sense. They loved camp! Thanks dad for signing them up.
Several weeks ago I was shopping with Makai. It is so easy to go shopping with just one kid--especially Makai. He is easy going and just goes with the flow. Well, it was about our third store of the day and he was getting tired so he asked if he could ride in the cart. He is too big to fit in the front of the cart so he rides in the deep part. He is always so good and just sits down, but occasionally he will pretend like he is surfing. On this particular day he was pretending to surf when I saw something in the isle that I needed. I grabbed the cart and pulled it back which set him off balance and he fell out of the cart flat on his back. He looked stunned. I will never forget his face. After the shock wore off he started to cry. I held him for about five minutes--I could tell it hurt! He got a pretty big knot on his head. Two weeks later I went to cut his hair and to my surprise where the knot was there was no longer hair! His fall didn't cut his head open, but obviously injured him under his skin. He has had two hair cuts since the fall and still very little hair. I have hope his hair will eventually grow back--if not, I am so sorry buddy! He keeps asking me, "Mom, why do I have a bald spot? The brothers keep saying I have a bald spot!" So, once again...I have earned the worst mom award!
