Wrappin it up!

I cannot believe that another year has past. Time sure flies when you are having fun and are busier than ever! It has really been a great year. The kids have all grown so much and have brought us so much joy. Here are a few updates about each of them.

Luke



Luke is a busy kid! He is in the 2nd grade and his teacher is Mr. Rocque. This year he has done basketball, soccer, tennis, karate, and swimming. He is just about to start another basketball season and is so excited. He is very into fashion and loves the name brands! He loves his converse, DC shoes, and Volcum. He loves to work out with his Dad and recently ran 3 miles on the treadmill. He is doing great in school. He gets such high grades and is at the top of his class. He is a great brother and loves to lead his siblings in playing. His best friend is still Riley and they could spend every second together. He has such a tender heart and truly desires to make us proud. We love Luke!

Harlee



Harlee is just a sweetheart. She has grown up so much over this last year. She is in her second year of preschool and goes 4 days a week with Mrs. Sherri. She loves being a little mom to her younger brothers. She has been keeping busy this year with soccer, dance, speech, and swimming. She loves to play barbies and house. Her latest source of fun is her camera and her salon doll. Her best little friend is Aubrey and they play so well together. She loves to make us proud and loves to hear that she has done so! She is very helpful and sweet. We are just so grateful for this little girl. If Heavenly Father was only going to bless us with one daughter, He sure gave us His best one. We love Harlee!

Nash



Nash is such a great kid. He has become a little more willing to express his opinions over this year and is not always the mellow guy he use to be. He is very smart! He graduated from his speech classes with Kids on the Move and does not qualify any longer for speech. His favorite color is dark blue and loves everything that is that color. He loves to play with Toy Story toys and Cars 2. He LOVES the IPAD and knows how to use it better than we do. He loves music and his favorite song is Party Rock Anthem. He would spend hours watching videos of that song on the computer. He also can do the shuffle that they do on that video- too cute! We are so grateful for his kind spirit and his honesty. We love Nash!

Gray



Gray is our little stinker. He is always busy and hard to find. Just when you think he is in one room he has already moved on to make the next mess. Gray loves to play with blocks and cars. He recently started sleeping through the night- finally! He is so much happier and so are we. His health has gotten so much better and with that his cute personality has come out. He finally feels good and is happy! He loves to do anything that Nash is doing and we think he feels he is one of the big kids. He hardly ever slows down and can often be found on top of the counter! He is starting to talk so much more and is just so much fun. He is such a funny kid. We love Gray!
*Love this picture. It is typical Gray to not look at he camera when we ask him to.

Joey and I are doing great. His company was bought out and he now works for Teva, one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies. He works so hard for our family. We are working on our basement and hope to finish that next year. We are going to celebrate our ten year anniversary in just a few weeks. I can honestly say I love him more today than I did the day I married him. I would have never thought that was possible. He is truly my best friend. He grounds me and strengthens me. I love being part of his team. We are expecting our last little guy in just about 3 1/2 months. We are looking forward to another great year.
