I cannot believe that another year has come and gone! Also we are heading into a new decade- that is so crazy! I think of how much has happened over the last ten years and I cannot believe the growth. In 2010 I was pregnant with Gray and our oldest child was 6- fast forward ten years and we are a family of seven with the kids ranging from 15 - 7. Time sure flies when you are crazy busy and loving life. Here is a little wrap up for each of those blessings in my life:
Luke- This has been such a year of growth for Luke. He is doing great in his sophomore year. He has many great friends and he is so fun to be around. He spent the year being the teacher quorum president and is such a great example to his quorum. Luke still loves Lowes and spending time on the trampoline. When he is not with friends he is spending time with his brothers. They have so much fun together. He is looking forward to getting his license in June and getting his first job. I am so proud of him.
Harlee- What a great year for Har this year. She started 7th grade and has gotten straight A's in her first two terms- so amazing. She is still doing dance and has cut down to one hour a week but she loves it. She got her braces off and her smile looks perfect. She has so many friends and loves to hang out with them. She has also been babysitting quite a bit and saving her money. This coming year she will officially become a teenager. I pray she stays fun and sweet and still wants to hang out with her mom. She is truly a blessing to me.
Nash- After spending the first part of the year at Ignite, Nash is back at Traverse Mountain and is loving life. He is doing amazing in school and has so many great friends. Nash has spent the year improving with his swimming. He goes to practice five days a week with minimal complaint and is make sure progress. Nash is a goal setter. He made a promise to read his scriptures every night and he never misses. He also never misses a night of hugging Joey and I before bed. He is such a good kid and I am beyond lucky to be his mom.
Gray- This has been a great year for Gray! He is thriving in school and in anything that he does. His teacher loves him and said he is the best in the class at math. He has also been given the opportunity to teach those in his class how to do the math assignments that he aces. He is still doing swim and is doing amazing. I love that he is sticking with it even though it is not easy. He is still such a great friend to Tag and all the boys really do love spending time together. Gray is so fun and is such a blessing in our family.
Tag- Oh my sweet baby! He is my kiddo that reminds me numerous times a day that he loves me. He is doing so great in school! His teacher is Mrs. Christensen and she is the best. She loves Tag and he is thriving. He loves to play on his ipad and to spend time with his siblings. This next year he will be starting the activity program at church. So exciting. He is also still doing ABI on Monday's. They moved locations and now they have so much room for games like laser tag and they have an xbox. It is so not difficult to encourage Tag to go on Mondays! I so love this boy and he is the best completion to our family.
Joey is still working at Teva. He is now the Senior Director of Supply Chain. He spends his time between the east and the west site. He is such a hard worker and an asset to his company. He is still in the bishopric and that is a time consuming calling. I am so grateful for his service and the blessings that come to our family. I had my best year so far with work- actually made six figures. I cannot believe that I can work from home and make that money- such a blessing. I was recently called to serve in the nursery and I am loving it. Since I do not have any babies at home I love that I get to snuggle these sweet babies at church. Joey and I are about to celebrate 18 years of marriage. I cannot believe it has been 18 years. He is truly my greatest blessing and my best friend. We are so blessed and I cannot wait to see what 2020 has in store for us.
