Nathan had another great soccer season with slightly less singing and wrestling his teammates during the game this year. He did come up missing in one game but we found him at the near by playground.
We try not to let Chloe sleep to long during the day or she will be up half the night. One day after sleeping way too long Scott could not get her to wake up. He finally took her out where he was working and set her on the compost bin and told her to watch him work. A few minutes later he turned around and, as usual, she got her way again.
Brooklyn is playing the flute this year and we were able to see her perform and the school musical concert. She did a great job!
Scott's parents, the missionaries, Schwenke's and the Varney's all came to our house this year for Christmas eve. The kids performed a live nativity to music and the spoken word. It was a special night and we are so thankful for friends and family.
Christmas this year was downsized 3 or 4 sizes as far as gifts and gadgets but the Christmas spirit filled our lives more than ever. There is only one gift that is important this time of year, our savoir.
Clayton turned 12 this year. He got the Priesthood and is passing the sacrament and we are so proud of the young man he has become. He also got a new gun for his birthday.
We spent a night in Payson with our friends the Hall's who were so kind to invite us to their families cabin. The kids found snow on our hike and snowballs were thrown, a snowman was made and our hands were all numb but it was so much fun.

Spent a night in sadona with the Varney;s. The kids stayed home for this trip and we did a little hiking, a little hot tub and had some great food at "Elote" Mexican restaurant. It was a quick trip but a nice break. We were celebrating Liza's birthday....only her and Darrin could not make it this time.
Made another weekend trip, this time to visit Scott's family in California. Coming home we ran into a storm. It was crazy to see it snow so much at that low elevation. Drove through rain almost all the way back home.

it was fun to catch up on what you have been up to besides the gym, RS and running. Chloe on the compost is the cutest pic ever and i loved brooklyn's snowman!
I love hearing about your wonderful kids! Can't believe how much Chloe has grown.
Nathan makes us laugh! I'm glad there was less wrestling and singing in soccer this year. I'm glad he still gets to have some fun during the games though...even if he has to sneak away to the playground to do it. Soooo funny! The pictures are so cute. It makes me happy and sad everytime I read your blog. Sure wish we weren't so far away, so we could do some of these things together. It was soooo fun seeing you guys (if even for just a short time). Bailey is already having Brookylyn withdrawls. She keeps saying, "Why couldn't they be here during our spring break?"
I'm so glad you have some new pictures up! I want to know who was at the game while Nathan was sneaking off to the playground:) That's funny1 After tee ball on Monday, we couldn't find Noah anywhere! We had parents start to help us look for him, and just as I started to freak out, I checked the car and he was all buckled up waiting on us... he said, "practice is over..." They get out of sight SO fast!
Hopefully I'll get to come on the next visit and we can hear Brook play her flute!
