Welcome 2011 ~


This year has been great and crazy so far. Life is always interesting, that's for sure! What's been going on with us you may ask - I will fill you in!

Carol moved out to Hawaii the end of last year to finish out high school there. She is currently living with Sylvia and her boyfriend. They currently don't have running water or electricity- but hopefully they are enjoying being outdoors. Sylvia is pregnant with a little girl and is really excited. She plans on flying out to New Zealand in March and having the baby in Figi. Carol plans on staying there until June.

Trent's Mom, Papa, and Sarah have been living in the Clearfield house we bought last year. It's been fun having them close -and the boys love seeing them more often now! Papa is currently working nights, and staying busy as always.

Mike is still having his adventures with dating, and recently got a job working a swing shift putting together tables. He plans on possibly taking some classes through BYU Idaho.

Dave and Gretel are enjoying life in Saudia Arabia, and Dave and Jenni plan on moving to Utah this summer. Keri got to come visit us during the holidays - and it is always fun to have her and Josh around. Luckily we get to keep Josh with us. He just graduated in Accounting- and he has his first interview for a real accounting job this Thursday!! Hope he finds a job he loves.

Jason started his new job in Bountiful. He is really enjoying it! He just barely moved up there this last weekend. Which makes total sense considering he works there and in Layton. Much closer to the action. Hopefully we get to see him more now too!

As for us? I've been really busy lately. I have been working at the Instacare now for
the entire month of January. Utah Cancer Specialists have also utilized me, and LDS has also needed coverage! Wow.. I've been keeping busy.

Good thing I told Davis Hospital I was taking a few months off! I am not sure how my jobs will change in the next few months, but I do know they will only need me for one more month at the Instacare. Crossing my fingers I get my awesome shift back at LDS come May. Two of my buds/coworkers, Matt Nelson and Jennyfer Quitian, got accepted into the PA program- so they will be off doing bigger and better things! And that may leave a spot for me to slip back!

Trent and I are currently looking for another house to try and fix up. Trent really enjoys fixing them up, and I enjoy watching the progress. Not a bad hobby if you ask me! And I am currently trying to figure out how to use new video editing software- but it's taking me longer than I would've hoped! So hopefully I won't get too behind in making the kids videos.

Speaking of my two awesome boys they are getting way too big, too fast!!

Jack has such a fun personality that is now really shinning through since he has been talking more and more. Last night he told me he loves Blake SOO much! He is really excited about the remote control helicoptors his dad and uncles have. He also is at a stage where he needs to have a TON of blankets on him when he goes to bed. What a hoot. Potty training is.... going. He is still really stubborn, so when he finally decides he's ready he won't have any problems. It's just trying to convince him that he's ready is the problem.

Blake loves to shake is head back and forth when he hears music or gets really excited. He is very content just to sit on any of our laps, and he loves laughing with Jack. He loves to throw balls and chase after them, and already loves playing with cars. He also loves climbing up to where Buddy is laying, and put his head on him.

We are excited for this year! Lets see what it brings us!
