Christmas Card

Merry Christmas Everybody!

We did sent out cards this year, but switched computers mid year and our list was not so complete this year...so if we missed you, Merry Christmas!

here's our letter...

2008

3rd son Kyle was born April 24th - 12 days late! (9 lbs. 12 oz) He loves his brothers and lights up whenever they are around. His many talents include raspberries, really cute babbling noises and army crawling after his ever moving family (he's getting very close to real crawling). Having a baby around adds a little bit of heaven into our days as he makes us all melt inside with his smiles, noises and laughs.

Sean (3) loves to play with Ryan and Dad. He is great at hitting a Dad pitched baseball, and loves to kick around a soccer ball too! His favorite day is Wednesday when he gets together with some friends for mom led activities and crafts (and the only day he doesn't miss Ryan when he's at school - his words). Always the goof and chatterbox, he is so much fun to have around!

Ryan (5) started Kindergarten and Soccer this fall! I think his favorite part of each is the friends. It's awesome to see him learning how to read and write. He is such a sweet and thoughtful boy. This year he learned how to ride a bike, skip and SNAP (he's better than mom...and snaps all the time), and he continues to love to play sports and wrestle with Sean and Dad.

Carrie loves all her boys and her job of taking care of them! The new Kindergarten and sports schedule has been a really great addition to our lives (she's even teared up at different school or soccer events!) She's enjoyed volunteering in Ryan's classroom and for school functions. Not wanting to forget any part of this wonderful life, she journals our experiences on her blog so we will always remember the Joy in our Journey as a family!

Scott has enjoyed his busiest year yet! In addition to his heavy work schedule, he is the 2nd counselor in our ward's bishopric and Ryan's soccer coach. The boys love when he's home. We are thrilled his blood tests show a cancer free man!

It sure has been a full and crazy year in so many ways! We are grateful for this time of year when we get to focus on our blessings and what's most important! We pray you have had a healthy and happy year too!

From our home to yours!
