Hope for a GREAT NEW YEAR!

We had a great holiday season and our kids got spoiled as usual. Oh well! We went and saw the lights at Thanksgiving Pointe with some good friends of ours. We had the opportunity to help others and help make their Christmas special by buying some presents for a Sub for Santa program. We were glad we were able to help out that family. Chandler is enjoying school so much..but I really think he'd be okay going a full day now, not just a 1/2 day. He has a girlfriend now, named Arianna. She is very cute! He even gave her a Christmas present (and she gave him one too).

Kayla is getting into her busy season with the boys basketbal season now starting. This means 2 days a week, we are running her to games all over the valley. She enjoys it so much, so just call me "taxi driver" for now!

Well, out with 2009 and in with 2010. We hope for 1 main thing this year, and that is to add to our family. We hope that we are able to add 1 more little child (brother or sister)to our family.

We are also working on finishing our basement and so that will be quite the task! UGH! We've heard all the horror stories about this, but we're anxious to get it done just the same.
