Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!




I just took these pictures around Christmas time but I never got to putting them on. We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This year was great and full of memories. I will just share a few quick stories starting with Caleb. Caleb has so much energy he is running around doing somersaults, jumping off the bed ( or anything he can), acting like pretty much any super hero; at the moment Ironman, Batman, or Darthvater, and for the most part is a happy go lucky kid. One of my favorite stories about Caleb was having him discover his body. Glenda, Braylee, and Lilly came on vacation here last summer which was so much fun. While they were here they learned just how much Caleb loved playing with balls (football, basketball, soccer, etc.) he would refuse to wear shirts unless they had some sort of sports team or ball on them. So one day when I was changing his diaper he discovered that he had two balls down there of his own and was very excited about it. So he comes running out of the bedroom yelling I have two balls right here. My sister and her kids and Jason's aunt and her kids were there to witness the discovery that Caleb made of his balls. After that he would constantly be telling people about his discovery because he was so excited about it. Luckily it only lasted a short time and he stopped telling everyone but we got a kick out of it.
Cassidy is my little princess. She loves to dance, spin, twirl, jump, get her nails done, have tea parties, going to preschool, and play with her brother, she is mommy's little helper. Cassidy is extremely scared of Santa she wouldn't sit on his lap or even be in the same room with him present. One day I went to pick Cassie up from preschool and she immediately came to get in the car which is very unusually she will usually play with her classmate and I will have to threaten her to get in the car. So we get in and I ask how her day went and she got upset but wouldn't talk about it. Cassidy will always ask what the agenda is for the next day so when I would tell her about going to preschool she would get upset and start crying. Come to find out her teacher was doing a count down to when Santa was coming and so she was scared Santa was coming that day. What can I say my kids don't do well with grown ups in costumes. As you could see with Spiderman maybe Chucky Cheese isn't such a good idea for Cassidy's birthday.
Jason and I have been in school most of the year. Jason is graduating this spring with his bachelors in health administration services which he is so looking forward too. I am hopefully graduating at the end of the summer this year. Jason has been put in the Sunday School presidency and I am now in the Young Women's with the Beehives which has been fun. Jason just interviewed withe U of U School of Pharmacy and we are anxiously waiting to see if he has been accepted or not. We'll keep you posted.
