Wayne: Wayne was hired about 6 months ago to be the Superintendant over Recruiting and Retention for the Utah Air National guard. Along with this move in jobs, came a recent promotion to Senior Master Seargent. We are very proud of him and excited for this new opportunity. This is a picture of all of us after the promotion ceremony.
Michelle: As usual, I have crazy busy, which is a really good way to forget you are pregnant! Anyway, the big news for me is that we are getting a girl (yeah) and my squad just took 2nd place at Nationals! it was an incredible experience and one that I hope to repeat (just with a first place finish) next year.
Brock: Brock turned 10 in February and has had a year full of scouting fun. He recently earned his bear, participated in the pinewood derby and was advanced to a Weeblo scout. I have to admit the scouting thing to me is a whole new world, so it is really good he has had such awesome den leaders! In addition to scouting, Brock was recently promoted to a brown belt at Karate. I don't get to watch his classes very often, so I was really surprised and impressed when I went to his latest belt promotion. He is really good!
Carson: is Almost 7 years old and is having a very successful year in Kindergarten. At Parent teacher conference his teacher told us "the only problem with Carson is that all of the little boys fight over who gets to stand by him in the recess line, because they all want to be Carson's friend." Apparently there have been a few scuffles over the whole thing, but his teacher assures us that they are all learning to "use their words" to solve the problems! All I can say, is at least it is not the girls fighting over him! Anyway, the big news in Carson's life is he is losing teeth like crazy! He recently lost both front teeth which makes eating an interesting challenge.
Aidan: Is almost four and is finally deciding he wants to be a big boy and potty on the toilet! He is seriously the most determined child (determined to do it his way). This year he went to Primary which had us all holding our breath. I lead the music in Primary and was fearful that he would be a complete nightmare. He has actually done pretty good, other than the one day he decied to run laps around the primary room instead of sit in his seat. He really is a fun kid and loves to watch his brothers play the Wii. He loves Indiana Jones and Star wars and is non-stop singing the theme songs from both movies!
