Merry Christmas

I got this idea from Sara she wrote a Christmas letter on her blog and I wanted to do the same. As I reflect on this past year we have made some changes and accomplished so much this year.

Shaelynn turned 5 this year she is growing into such a beautiful young girl. She graduated preschool which she was so excited about. She took swimming lessons and dares to do so much in the water now. She still has a way to go to swimming but she did so well. We experienced losing teeth she has lost 3 so far. She started kindergarten in a new town and a new school. She had a hard time adjusting here but now she is doing very well. She is still taking dance and loving every minute of it.

Paeton turned 3 this year, she also started taking dance and preschool. She loves preschool but does have a hard time listening to her teacher( maybe because I'm the teacher) she is learning so much. She has such a funny personality and keeps us laughing. This is her last sunday in nursery and she will be moving to primary. I'm not sure I'm ready for her to leave nursery.

Ryan did the hunt of a lifetime, or what he has been waiting for, for a lifetime. He drew out for the big elk this year and after taking a week off work. He ended up not needing to and killed his 7 x 6 elk opening morning. He was on cloud nine. He also has given me the scare of a lifetime, when he was sent to the hospital with a shattered wrist. He his so lucky to be alive.

I started my own preschool and feel very successful at it. I love the kids and enjoy going to work. I have adjusted very well to moving and living in a new town and yes its growing on me. Everyone has been so nice here. I also started school and I am working on my teaching degree its going to be a long few years, but I am so excited to be finished. I also got a nice shock of my own when we found out we were expecting not just one baby but two. I am scared but I know the lord will bless us and help us through this time.

As a family we took a vacation our first one ever together as a family to San Diego to Sea World. We had so much fun, I can't wait until we can do something like that again. We have also built our dream home. It has been 7 years coming and finally we our in our own home and we love it. We have truly been blessed this past year and can't wait to see what's in store for us next year. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
