Happy Valentine's Day

Welcome to our blog. This year we sent out Valentine's card instead of Christmas cards. It worked out so well I think we might just do it again. There seems to be a tradition with Christmas cards to write a letter so we'll follow suite and brag about each child individually

1) Sadie is our yeller and our table dancer. Even though she is two she has no desire to talk. (Why should she when she can get what she wants by yelling?) She likes to sneak candy and is crafty about finding ways to get it even when we strategically place it in difficult to reach places. She likes relaxing with a good board book, her favorite blankie, and a pacifier. She is our curly headed little girl and we love her.

2)Boomer is Mr. Emotional and cries at the drop of a hat. "You hurt my feelings" is his most used phrase these days. He makes friends easy and everyone loves him.  Curently, Jon is brainwashing him to believe that he will grow up and be a quarterback for BYU. (Mostly because tuition is inexpensive) He's a fun little guy and generally very easy to be around.

3)Jackson is getting so big. He has lost three teeth and has another loose one which is causing his smile to look like a Jack-o-Lantern but he's still a handsome little guy. He is reading now and is addicted to Angry Birds (a game on my phone). He also likes Pokemon and Bacugan. He thinks Kindergarten is "OK" but mostly boring. When he gets home he jumps around the furniture, hoping piece to piece, like a caged tiger. Even though he doesn't like hugs and kisses we still love to give them to our Jackson boy.

4) I (Michelle) was deep into training for a half ironman triathlon..but fell of the wagon when we went on the cruise.  I need to pick it back up again, it is an antidepressant for me.  I feel so much happier and patient when I am exercising.  I got a new juicer and we are loving it.  It's the only way I can get kids to eat kale and spinach..awesome!! Other than that I just try to clean the house and comb my hair everyday.  I feel pretty good when they both get done, but, unfortunately, that doesn't always happen.

5) Jon probably doesn't want to talk about it right now.  He has had a frustrating year with The Maids but really enjoys being a business owner. He works hard and everyone is excited when he comes home.  The boys want to wrestle with him and Sadie likes to join in too. He's a great guy and we're glad he works so hard for us.

We're so blessed to have you as friends and family.  Thanks for stopping by.
