~Happy New Year~

2012 was a great year for our family.  We had many exciting things happen.  The most exciting thing was the arrival of our newest member to the family, Garrett.  Garrett is such a happy, sweet boy.  He is always smiling (he has the cutest smile that lights up his whole face).  The kids still fight over who can hold him, who gets to sit by him, and who he likes best, lol.  He is not lacking attention :).

We also moved into our new home this year.  It took a little while for the new home to feel like home.  There were several weeks that went by that we would drive by our old home and get teary eyed because we missed it. We no longer do that, because the new house now feels like home.  We love it!  We had several Christmas parties at our home this past month and it really helped break things in, lol.

Dave is still a high councilman at church.  He continues to be super busy with work, church, and coaching Hunter's basketball team.  He did manage to squeeze in some hunts this year.  Hunter and Dave got a deer.  This was Hunter's first time hunting and he loved it.  I'm sure Dave is glad to have a permanent hunting partner :)

I was called to be the Relief Society 1st councelor.  I really enjoy being in Relief Society.  I love the spirit you feel during each lesson.  I also like visiting with the sisters in our ward.  The kids keep me extra busy with all of their activities, but I love it!

Hunter continues to love sports.  He played comp soccer and comp basketball this past year.  Although his heart lies in basketball.  He loves it!  He is still playing piano, which each day he lets me know that he is not going to play anymore when the school year is over, lol.  We shall see.  He is doing great in school and keeps busy.

Mckell is such a little mother.  She is so good with Garrett.  She loves to hold him, feed him, and sing to him.  I can't get her to change one of his diapers though, lol.  She loves school! And has gotten back into dance which she loves.

Lexi is now in preschool, which she loves!  She also is taking dance.  She loves that too. She is such a good helper and loves to make others happy.

Life is good!  We hope that 2013 will be another great year.
