LIFE

So it has been a while since I have updated. We are all still alive and doing well. We enjoyed our holidays. My sister came for a surprise visit from Africa for Thanksgiving. So we spent our time at my brother's house. It was nice and the cousins had fun together. December was a busy month with Christmas parties and school stuff. We stayed home this Christmas and enjoyed not traveling during the holidays. It was nice to be home and do our own family things. Plus we were all sick so there was nothing like being at home when you are sick. Matt took off a week too so that was wonderful to have him home and spend time with him.
Matt is busy with work and is staring a class this year. It is every Saturday/Sunday all day. So it will be like he is working 7 days a week instead of 5. He is getting ready to take the big PE test in April so he can become a Professional Engineer (PE). So we are gearing up to not having Daddy home a lot for the next few months.
Christmas Day I was released from the Primary Presidency after serving for a little over 2 years. I am excited and ready for something new. Hopefully something a little bit more low key would be nice, but we will see! I am still working in Tyler's class every Friday and love it. I am the mom and you know how that goes. I am busy 24/7. Life is great and I love my boys!

Tyler is our wild boy! He is loving school and doing very good. He is starting Basketball this month and just loves to be outside. For Christmas we got the boys a trampoline and he out there everyday even if it is freezing! He is very outgoing and very loud all the time. He doesn't know what it means to have a inside voice. We love you Tyler!

Carter is our shy boy and some people think that he doesn't talk but he does. He just likes to keep to himself. It takes him a while to warm up. He loves playing with cars and doing puzzles. He loves his brothers and looks up to Tyler a lot. He will be turning 3 in April and growing up so fast. We have been trying to attack the potty training but he is not a fan. It is driving Mommy crazy! When he smiles it lights up the whole room. We love our Carter boy!

Hayden is a little baby that just keeps growing. He is turning 7 months this week and is so adorable. He is cutting his first two teeth right now and little bit more cranky then usual. He loves to be held and tickled. He watches his brothers all the time and just wants to play with them. He is also wanting to eat with us and grabs at whatever we have. Hayden is too cute and we love him.

I know what you mean about the primary. You work so hard at filling all those callings, that I want to say, "me, me I'll do that one so I don't have to worry about all these." We got your gift cards for Christmas, thank you. We love on the border, so I'm sure we'll use them there. Cute boys! I can't believe how fast they are all growing up.

Thanks for the cards, we loved it. Glad to get updates on everyone. We think of you often. I'm sure it was nice to stay home for the holidays (we did too) but if you need to get away come to UTAH:)

The boys are so cute! Tyler shows his personality, Carter is a stud and Hayden is just plain adorable! We look forward to next month!

Thanks for the update! You are one busy momma, I feel tired just thinking of all that time without Matt around. Thanks goodness you are a trooper! Perhaps we'll have to plan a get-together...soon!
