Natalie and Canyon just moved back in with us. I am so excited to have them here!! Its like having all my favorite people under one roof! And Natalie really helps me want to change and be a better person. Maybe its the "big sister" in me that wants her to think of nothing but the best in me. In any case, I am just so happy they are with us and back in Utah!!

Holy S#$! I can't believe its 2008!


Wow. I can't believe its 2008. Almost 2009! I look at all my kids, and my Matt and it seems like just yesterday Matt was proposing.
So Matt is working for Jetblue right now as a Project Manager. It seems to pass the time till we become independently wealthy. I am working at Academy Mortgage during the day (part time), and also still working as a bartender at the Woodshed in downtown SLC. It keeps us busy, that's for sure!
Gavin is in 8Th grade, almost 14, and taller than I am. He is a good kid. Always trying to help out and is really patient with his younger siblings. He is doing pretty good in school and reads all the time! He just had to have his appendix out, so there was a little vacation from school for him :) Although I think he would rather be anywhere else. He started a MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/gundamgav I can't believe how old he is. I remember being in 8Th grade.....
Chloe is in 6th grade and almost 12. I can't believe how old she is getting and SO quickly!! I keep remembering the little girl with the green eyes that hardly talked to anyone. That was SO long ago! Chloe has been taking Horse back riding lessons and loves it! She has won a few awards, and is doing so well! Chloe is growing up so quickly, I wish she would slow down and be a little girl for longer. But she is going to be a "pre-teen" this year, and boy can you tell she is ready for that!
Christian is in 4th grade and just turned 10. He is almost as tall as mom is, which makes me feel so small! Soon all my kids will be towering over me and poking me in the head. Chris has been playing soccer and LOVES it. His coach, Ivan, is really patient with all the kids. Chris's team is so good, they have had to play up a grade because no one can beat them. Christian is doing amazing in school and loves his teacher. He is going to put a couple entries into the Reflections contest. One of him dancing on video. He loves to dance. he got an MP3 player for his birthday and is always got it on and is dancing around.
Caleb is in 2nd grade, and just turned 8. And I can't believe he is 8. I miss my little blonde haired baby!! How did he grow so fast!! Caleb is excited to start taking tumbling lessons. He took them once before, and loved it so much he asks about it all the time, so we finally gave in and said he can take lessons again. He is a whiz on a skate board, and is so daring it scares me! He has no fear, and will try anything. He loves to ride on his skateboard and his heeleys with his dad. Caleb likes school right now, he is doing so well. And his teacher is really great.
