11 Great things about 2011

What a great and crazy year.  We have had fun as a family...  So here it goes

1. Jarom Don.  What a fun and handsome son.  We love him.  He is squishy and cute.  His dimples can calm and lift anyone.

2- Watching the temple go up in our town. This has brought us closer together!

Last but not least our family.  The fun times we have together, prayers, hopes, dreams, school, work, daily life with each member doing their best at everything.  SO grateful for 2011.  Here comes 2012...  I have quit hoping for it to slow down but just now pray I can manage our time and help each person become who they are supposed to be.

A Blurrr.....(catch up)

Our Little family has been going 100 miles an hour.  Mostly mom has started a new Dual Immersion program for students at her school.  It has been a massive undertaking but is running very smoothly and success is being seen every day.  What little "free" time I had has been gone but I am hoping to have it come soon.l  Highlights.

  Jarom started sittingat 6 months.  He has been crawling since the day he turned 7 months.  He is so giggly and fun to be with.  He loves loves to eat.  I have been worried about allergies because he broke out in a horrible rash when we gave him Tylenol.  I know for sure his skin is sensitive.  Only organic stuff to touch his skin.  Like... Norwex laundry detergent (we started with Dreft and that got expensive fast) We are slowly introducing food to his life.  He loves all the fruit and vegetables we can give him.  He likes the corn chex and rice chex also.  I am staying away from wheat and gluten for a bit.  He will be walking sooner than later.  He is very determined. 
 
 Rachel is loving preschool.  She prays everyday is a preschool day.  But only three days a week.  She is a determined adorable girl.  She hiked to Delicate arch with all of us.  What a champ. She wants to learn to read and so she and I are working on that.  She loves to hike climb and run. 
Shelby got a 4.0 in her school and loves swimming and being the oldest in our family. 


Jacob got his arrow of light and his weblos badge in Sept. adn is enjoying scouting now.  We love him.  WE finished football over the Thanksgiving holiday.
