Family Pictures

This Christmas season has been a lot of fun. It started with Connor and Jake going to Arizona to swim with the swim team. They both swam really well and made it back to finals at night. It was fun to see them be each others cheer leaders. They are starting to become good friends (when Connor is beating up on Jake). It was like a vacation having them gone for a couple of days.

I had my book club and dinner club Christmas parties that were tons of fun. It has been such a long time since we have had such a big group for book club.

I'm done with my shopping but know have the work of putting together my preztels for neighbor gifts and wrapping everything. I think that takes as long as the shopping does.

Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends!

Fall 2010

This fall has been really fun! We started with Nathan's birthday. He turned five. Followed by Neal's the next day, then Connor turned 14 on October 19th and Jake turned 12 on October 28th.

The boys both won their super bowl playoff games. It is a miracle to our family because Connor has been to every single championship football game since he was 8 and has never won until his final year before playing high school. Both boys had great games. Jake was the center and Connor played numerous positions but his favorite was defensive end. There wasn't one game this season that Connor didn't have a quarterback sack. Nathan also played soccer and Kaylee has decided that her passion is dance, gymnastics, and piano. She just got her back bend down and is so excited.

The past year

WOW! It has only taken me a year to update my blog! Where to start.... We bought a new house about a mile up the road from our new home in April and finally sold our old home in late September. It has been fun getting involved in our new ward and the kids have made lots of new friends.

We have just been finishing up football and have continued our football tradition of going to the championship games and losing. Both Connor and Jake went to their championship games and lost. They had great season's and it was fun to see them play.

The boys our back swimming again and our once again at the bottom of their age groups. Which is always a little bit hard. Connor and Jake both swam at Far Western's in San Jose this spring. Connor was a state champion swimmer at our state meet and won the IMX swimmer of the year award at the state meet. Jake place fourth overall in his age group.

Kaylee is busy with dance, swim team, and gymnastics. Gymnastics is her favorite activity. Her hand our very calloused from her time spent on the bars at school.

Nathan is our little tease and has finally decided that pre-school is fun. If we could just convince him that Church is fun as well. Every Sunday morning when he see's his church clothes we get the tears and comments. I hate that place. Everything with Nathan is either you love or you hate that.

Happy Halloween
