Update...Finally!

Well, there has been a lot of things happen with our family since I last posted. Starting school and working a second job has made it a little difficult to sit down and take the time to update our blog.
On October 12th, Colton returned from serving 2 years in the Samoa, Apia mission. It was such a great homecoming. I still look back at the pictures of that day and get a little teary eyed. It's great to have him home.

Love this Kid!

All together again!

In November he proposed to his girlfriend, Teneil Christensen. We love her and are excited to have her be part of our family. They will be getting married in the Bountiful temple on June 11 and will have a reception that evening at Teneil's parents house. Lots to get done between now and then but I think Teneil has it all under control. I just hope she can whip him into shape.. Man, he is a messy kid!

The proposal!

Love this picture!


Christmas has come and gone.. It was great to have all my kids together again. The big hit this year was the kinect for the xbox 360. We all played together and had a blast!!! The next morning everyone felt the effects of the challenges that were attempted and conquered.

Christmas Jammies


As for the rest of the kids, here are their updates...
Cameron- He is working on finishing up his schooling and is looking forward to serving a mission after the wedding in June.
Courtney- She is working at Kravers, completing her senior year and is looking forward to a career in the medical field. She is just finishing up her CNA course and previously received her medical assistant certificate. She hasn't yet decided where she will go to college. She has originally was planning to go to SLCC but has since decided to maybe check out USU..
Caden- His seizures have still been a problem. They change his medication and about 2 months later, they start up again. During that time, I think his body gets used to the dosage so it no longer works.. Poor guy! Wish there was something I could do for him.
Colby- He is just being a kid! His attempts to bug and frustrate his older siblings is working.. There isn't a day that goes by that there isn't some kind of a conflict.. Guess he is doing a good job at succeeding.. Funny kid!

Well.. that's about all there is for our update. We will all of you a Happy New Year and may this next one be better than the last. Love you all!
