Family Blessings

The last year has certainly flown by. It has been a very busy year with family, friends, sports, and school.

Zach is currently working at Fleet-lite. He is completing several classes at the SLCC. He is anxiously awaiting the Poinsettia Bowl. Zach and his cousin Jake will be leaving for a road trip and cheering on the Utes. Go Utes!!!

Justin is playing junior jazz again. He finished football and has truly become a football fanatic. It was a fun fall watching him learn the game and working hard every night at practice. He is currently in the 3rd grade. He recently brought home a snake for Christmas break from school.

Charly is still very active and keeps all of us on our toes. She loves Kindergarten and is learning how to read. It is so amazing to watch her mind begin to understand new words. She never stops moving except when she is asleep. Watching her makes me very tired.

Randy is still working at Fleet-lite and we won't say anything more about that.

I have taken several classes at the University of Phoenix but am taking a break due to my mom's recent surgery. We are so grateful that mom is doing well and expect her to make a full recovery.

This year at this time, I am so grateful for my family. Although we fight at times and definitely do not always see eye to eye on most things, I am truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful family. My wish for everyone at this time, is for everyone to have a Merry Christmas and enjoy all the time that they can spend with their loved ones.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Snow Day Boredom

The hyperbaric boys at work decided that they were extremely bored last Tuesday. They proceeded to cover my car with snow. Then just in case I couldn't locate it, they placed a large orange cone on top of the car. Very cute!!! This is what happens when you are extremely bored at work and do not have anything to do. The boys graciously dug my car out following their adventure with the snow.

Learning

I'm not very good at this blogging thing. I hope this is the right spot to let everyone know what is new in our life.

Charly has completed preschool. It was amazing at their graduation to watch how grown up she was. She said please and thank you. She even was able to sit still through the 30 minute program. It was unbelievable. She is now totally bored and anxious to begin kindergarten.

Justin has approx 6 weeks left of 2nd grade. He states he hates school but has really become an excellent reader this year. Math is his favorite subject. He is finishing baseball and unfortunately is not sure if he is going to play next year. I love baseball. He is anxiously awaiting football this fall.

Zach is just being Zach. He has finished this semester at SLCC. He is still without a girlfriend and it is driving him crazy. He is currently in Sun Valley with his dad for a fun weekend of golfing. I hope he is having a great time.

Randy has finished his first month as a salesman at Fleet-lite. I'm not sure how much he is really enjoying his job. Our house rules are not to discuss Fleet-lite. I appreciate the opportunity my father has given him.

Work remains busy. I have decided to go back to school for a bachelors degree in nursing. This will allow me to obtain my WOCN certification that is very important to me. I already feel stretched thin but hopefully this will only be short lived.

Is he really awake?

Zachary is our difficult child at this time in his life. He has become an adult and is still trying to find out where he fits. He is currently enrolled at SLCC and hope all is going well. He is currently single and enjoying it every other day. Maybe he will meet someone soon. He is currently working very part-time at Fleet-lite and is reffing for the county in Jr. Jazz. He constantly brings joy and excitement to our family. We love you Zach.

Angel or Monster?

Charly is 5 years old. She is currently attending preschool with great anticipation for Kindergarten in the fall. Charly is our active, bubbly, defiant, and enjoyable child. Whoever would have thought, when I finally got my little girl, she would have such a personality. She destroys every outfit she wears and refuses to allow us to do anything with her hair. She can beat up Justin without a second thought and quickly turn around to think he is the greatest big brother in the world. She is definitely our very own whirlwind. Our lives would be extremely boring without her in our family. We love you Charly.

Happy Birthday Justin!

I'm finally learning how to blog, thanks to my sister Amanda. We have just celebrated Justin's birthday. It is really hard to believe that he is already 8. I truly can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. He is a very sensitive kid. He enjoys algebra at school and really excels at it. He is currently playing junior jazz and loving it. He is in his first month of cub scouts. His best friend is Jace and they are constantly together. Happy Birthday! We love you Justin!
