Another Year Gone!

We hope the end of another year finds you and your family doing well! 

Austin is a Junior at Spectrum Academy High School and the welding program through Davis Applied Technical Center.  He is presently on the high honor roll and doing really well in both schools.  Austin loves creating things and has already brought home some unique metal creations!   He is on track to graduate with his class and we are excited to see what the future holds for him. 

Shailyn is in 8th grade at Bennion Jr. High.  Shailyn loves to read, draw, and paint.  She is a funny girl, one day she will have her hair curled and be dressed in nice clothes, the next she will be in sweats and a pony tail or messy bun.   She loves to laugh and enjoys sharing her joy with everyone around her.   She adores little ones and loves the fact she is now old enough to baby sit!

Kaysie is in 6th grade at Bennion Elementary.  Kaysie loves playing softball and this year she started playing at the competitive level.  It amazes me that she is able to keep straight A’s with all the time she spends on the ball field!  She loves music and took violin lessons this past year.  

Tim and I have decided to start coaching our own softball team!  This has kept us both very busy and we love watching the girls grow from week to week.   Our team is a 12 and under girls fast pitch team and we are looking forward to spending another year at the ball fields!   Of course we couldn’t make it through a year without more challenges… Tim was laid off from his job in October and hasn’t been able to find anything yet, Cindy has struggled with her Rheumatoid Arthritis and is hoping the new medication will help (and soon!); Shailyn is still struggling with her migraines but has found relief from chiropractic care.

We have survived another crazy busy year with our family and we are loving (almost) every minute of it!
