Here’s a quick update on what’s been happening at our house this last year.
Taryn (3) loves life and is as active as ever! She loves going to church and play dates with friends. She continues to amaze us with her good health and sharp mind.
Ainsley (6) keeps us laughing. She says something quotable just about every day. She is in 1st grade and enjoys playing with friends and shopping with mom.
Bridget (9) is always looking for ways she can serve others, at home and in her 4th grade class. She enjoys learning new things, adding piano and crocheting to the list this year.
Michaela (12) had a few changes and firsts this year. She survived girl’s camp with the Young Women and really enjoys being part of a great group of girls in our ward. She is now in 7th grade at the junior high, where she is involved in choir, dance, and on the honor roll. The story Michaela wrote for the PTA Reflections contest last school year kept winning awards and went all the way to the state level, where she didn’t win, but placed first!
Parker (15) had an eventful year. He attended the National Boy Scout Jamboree, including a tour of the east coast, for three weeks this summer and had a great time. This fall he added Eagle Scout to his list of accomplishments. He worked really hard to earn money for both and we are proud of him. Parker is a sophomore in high school and looking forward to that glorious day when he can DRIVE!
Michele (old) is still trying to stay on top of things…four kids in three different schools, activities, Relief Society presidency, work, carpools, etc....most days I just keep my head above water! January through July I worked for the 2010 Census and the last few months I have been painting (walls) for hire and working with a friend as her “Assistant”, in addition to my Creative Memories business and teaching classes on digital scrapbooking / photo books.
Kenny (older) has been busy with work this year as the company he works for, PSAV, took on an additional property in Park City that he had to oversee for a number of months. His office is still at the Hilton downtown. He has taken up running and, though he says he doesn’t enjoy it, usually logs about 30 miles a week. Kenny serves as the Cub and Scout Committee Chairman and webmaster in our ward.
We feel very blessed this holiday season! We are grateful for the knowledge we have the Christ lives and is the reason we celebrate this time of year.
Merry Christmas!
