Merry Christmas to All!

Hope that this Christmas Season Finds you all happy, healthy and laughing!

We have enjoyed a year of relative peace and harmony. There have been some changes, but all for the good. We enjoy the support and love of family and friends, near and far.



Taryn and Ben and the kids are doing great. Stryder is in the 2nd grade and having a blast. Shelby is in kindergarten and loving the fact that she is going to school. Soren in 4 and is ready for his chance to start school. Stryder and Shelby are playing basketball this year. They are moving to a new house the first of the year and excited. They will still be within a few miles of us and we are able to visit often.



Katie, Jesse, and Mason are also doing well. In August they moved in with us to put some money away for a house. It has been entertaining having a little one back in the house. Katie cooks some great meals and has been helping Tami with keeping the house up.



Lauren and Justin just bought a house a few miles from ours. They are keeping busy by working, hanging out with friends and family, and fixing up the house. Justin is in the process of testing for Metro Police Department. Lauren still loves her job at the Dentist Office.



Trevor is now in the 5th grade. He does very well at school (except when he gets in trouble for talking!) He played basketball on a summer league this year, and regular season has just started. He received his Arrow of Light award in Cub Scouts and is now an 11 year old Scout. He is looking forward to the upcoming campouts and hikes. He keeps us young!



Tami is feeling pretty good. She continues to work and cart Trevor around and help out in his class every Friday.



In August, Bob received a new job at work. He is now the Human Resources Coordinator for 19 stores in the Las Vegas area. He loves it. Any just a few weeks ago, he was put in as the 1st Counselor in the Bishopric. He also turned 50 this year. We celebrated with a party at home and then a surprise party at Goofy's Kitchen at Disneyland with both his Brothers and Sister and their families. We had a great couple of days together!



Just a few weeks ago, we took our whole family to Disneyland for their Christmas present. We had 13 of us. Some of Jesse's family also joined us, so that made 16, and on Monday, Joan and her family came up and that made 20. Despite the rain and illness, everyone had a blast.



We have been very blessed to be surrounded by people we love and who love us. We are grateful for health, jobs, and blessings that we are showered with. May this time of year also find you feeling the same. Have a great 2011!



Love,



Bob, Tami, and Trevor
