A LITTLE ABOUT US

We are Proud Alumni of the Kahuku RED RAIDERS and we have a Big Ol' family of 11 kids! Our family is super tight and we love laughing and Cooking together!  Out of that Brood we have 11 year old Identical Twin boys named Jaron and Kennan. (Most Current Picture missing two of our additions)

A few things about Kennan:

 * has a great singing voice
* is Kind and Nurturing
* loves History and learning about his Culture
*Loves to Play Sports
*Takes hours doing his hair and uses gallons of lotion and chapstick
*Has a square face and a Flat forehead is how we can tell him apart.
*Loves his baby sister Rain.
*Natural Leader
*Trend setter
*True Story: I once scolded Kennan thinking he was Jaron and he never corrected me.

 Despite a few differences most people have a hard time telling them apart unless they're wearing their Football Jerseys!  From the time I was pregnant with Jaron and Kennan they could never sit still. As babies they were always very active!  When they were 5 years old we put them onto a Rugby team, and quickly noticed how fast they could run! We loved watching these little guys run circles around their team mates on the field. 
Four years ago we moved to Utah from the Big Island of Hawaii when the boys were 8 years old. There wasn't a Rugby league for their age at the time so we thought we try them out for Football. Jaron cried and hated that idea, and after looking at the cost for both boys to play, I hated it too. I later got a phone call back from The Head Football Coach " Rex" !  He says "Why'd you leave?  Before I could explain he said "How 'bout I pay for one kid you pay for the other boy and bring them both to tryouts?" I agreed and took them to tryouts.  The coaches were impressed with their athleticism having never played football before.  They were both picked as Running Backs for Copper Hills A League.  It was their first year and  Along with their team they had an undefeated season where they took  2016 Championships against Kearns.

 They soon found a New found love for Football and it wasn't long before they were nicknamed "The Flying Hawaiians"! They joined the Herriman Mustangs a year ago. Their Team had a  Beautiful Undefeated 2018 Season Winning Another Well Deserved Championship Game against Bingham.



What does Kennan say he loves about Football?

* He loves the action of running and hitting
* Being  able to stay in shape 
 * Good Friendships  
  *Having my dad as my coach.  he's pretty hard, so he makes me work very hard. 



What does Jaron say he loves about Football?

*The Strategy of the game
* Tackling
* I love playing football with my  Brother because we can just look at each other and we know what each other is thinking on the field. 
*My family Yelling for us on the Sidelines.

Why we created a Gofundme?

Jaron and Kennan were invited to Try out for a Spot on the Utah All Stars Football league. There were over 100 +  of Utah's finest Youth Athletes that showed up to Tryouts at West High School in Salt Lake City. They had an opportunity  to go against other Elite players from all over Utah to showcase their talents and skills on the Field.
Jaron and Kennan were both selected alongside 35 other Elite 6th graders to be on the Pro Football Hall of Fame Utah All Stars league.  They will be representing the entire STATE OF UTAH and of course playing their hearts out for Hawaii and Herriman City where they are from!  With two Athletes, and a big family to provide for it's expensive! These kinds of opportunities don't come around often and we would LOVE your support to raise enough money to get them there!



Why is this a BIG DEAL?

*Their team will represent the Entire State of Utah 

*They will represent the City of Herriman in Utah. Our City and Football community has been such a huge support to our Family!

*They can be a positive role model to other Children.

* Kennan will be the starting QB

* Jaron will be their starting RB/WR/DB.

*They will be competing against other Elite Youth Leagues Nationally in Commerce City, Colorado Nov 29-Dec 2nd 2018

*They will also have an opportunity to play at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Stadium In Canton , Ohio for the Youth National Championship that will be Televised on ESPN December 6-9 2018.
