Chritsmas brag letter.

Temple square with Jer on the dang phone!


The pictures take way too long I guess I just don't know what I'm doing as usual. So here's our family update.
Jer has worked really hard at starting his business. It has been really rough with lots of stress and struggles. We made it through the year on lots of prayers and only a few breakdowns by me of course. It must have been my evil twin. He has gotten an offer to start back at XO and we are really happy. He also is so hot and the best cook ever and gives me everything I want. We are so lucky to have him as a Daddy and Husband.
I just am a Mom and house keeper and a taxi service. I sometimes cook dinner and fold the laundry. I still make the best dessert around.

Syd is in 4th grade and getting straight A's. She reads about a book a day and loves math. She just finished memorizing 1 to 12 times tables. She is a dancing fool. She has dance 3 hours a week and one hour of tumbling and cheer. Mom is not so sure about the cheer part but it is her favorite. She is the flyer because she is the smallest. Her teachers are the best and We love them. She won 3 first places and one second place with her solo. Her group won first almost every time too. We are going to Disneyland this year for her to dance and are so excited!

Preston is in first grade and is at the top of his class. There are only two others that can read at his same level. He has tons of buds at school and they have a secret handshake. They play ninjas at recess and he has the best skills he says. He played Tball and loved it and is starting basketball this month. He loves transformers, Batman, and Iron man. He loves to be like Dad and show us his huge muscles. Every time he eats eggs or meat he gets more protein and they grow bigger.

Hayden is in preschool and almost five. He hasn't been as interested is learning as the others but over the break he amazed me with the letters and numbers he knew. There may be hope yet! He still cant say his r's and l's. When he gets it he gets to go to Chuck E Cheese.He plays cars all day and loves to play with Soph. They do everything together. His favorite is to take things apart. He is totally into Cars and pretty much has it memorized. He still has the cutest smile and says the funniest things. He makes up words for parts of trucks like mullet chiff and kaka. I really have no idea what they mean but he knows.

Sophie just turned 2. She is the most terrible we have ever had. She was supposed to be my sweet little angel last baby. She still is my baby but she doesn't think so. She does everything the big kids do. She even tries to go potty. I am just not ready for that yet. I love her little voice and the way she talks. She says Waka Queen for Lightning Mcqueen. And Hantana for Hanah Montana. She got a baby for Christmas and hasn't even touched it. She loves the boy toys. But still loves to dance with Syd. She has red sparkle tapping shoes that she loves to wear and scratch the wood floor. She also wears her boops(boots) everywhere she goes. She is learning to sing and it is so cute. She spent about an hour on Daddys snowybelle and did not want to get off.

We are so lucky to have such great kids. They drive us crazy everyday but we sure love them. So there it is Merry Christmas a little late and Happy New Year.

I love to read about your cute family. I thought Jer was on his phone. That is so something my Jar would do. He is always on the phone. When does he start back at work? I hope your 2009 has lots of ups and good things. Your kids are really cute and truly amazing. Good job at being such a good mommy.
