Two hours from the snow and three hours from the beach, so maybe it isn't so bad living here! Kids had a great time sledding at Shaver. Next week they get to hit the waves!

I can't believe another year has quickly come and gone! I climbed into bed all toasty and warm last night and was overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude for my life and my family. Despite the days when I wonder if this is all my life will be....wiping noses, fixing meals, constant laundry....there are those perfect moments that come when I realize life is exactly what i had always wanted!!!!! Here is to a new year right around the corner!

I noticed that Carsen (age 8) was doing really good not to get angry with his brothers, tease his sisters, etc. I said, "You are really being good Carsen" He said, "I know....I made a promise to Santa and God that I would try harder." Oh the magic of the season!!!!!

Amelia was so happy eating her spaghetti and green beans....that i had to take some quick shots. Sorry about the boogers!

Merry Christmas!

Wyett recieved a varsity letter for Water Polo and also Most Improved Player Award. He had the highest percentage of goals made vs. shots tried. Good job Wyett!

Wyett was singing in the shower, so I thought it would be great to video tape his voice because he won't sing in public. Unfortunately, I didn't realize he was almost done and just about to get out! (Don't worry, he said it was okay to put this on our blog. We have been laughing all night about it!)
