Family

This is our happy family!!

Sorry we have been so busy that we have not updated our blog in some time. But just to let our family and friends know we had a great Christmas and New Year. Sometimes we have so much going in our lives that its hard to just relax! During Christmas Mike was working out at the airport and he was working 12 to 10 hour day 7 days a week. We only saw him when he was coming home to eat, shower and go to bed. He is glad that he is not working on that job anymore it was very stressful . I really don"t know what I would do without Courtney, she always steps in when I'm at work and takes care of her sisters. She has a lot going on in her life this being her senior year in high school. She is trying to decide what to do with her life and I think sometimes it gets a little overwhelming at times, but she has a good head on her shoulders and she will know what is right for her. Cassidey already had her birthday this year, she is now 14. Cassidey is our beautiful red head and she a sweetheart. This past year she has babysat a lot, when tithing settlement came she was very surprised that she had earned over a thousand dollars babysitting! We are so proud of her for being a full tithe payer! Kennedey is really liking Jr High, she had a good Christmas because her dad gave in and gave her a cell phone. She REALLY likes to text but Mike is on her all the time about texting to much! We are proud to say that all of our girls have gotten straight A's so far this year. We look at them and we don't know where they came from?? Kelsey is doing good also, she got a basketball hoop for Christmas and everyone that comes to visit has to go outside and play a little hoop with Kelsey! She loves it and she really is pretty good. I am just busy with work and my church calling. We are planning our girls camp and this will be my 3rd year at planning camp. I am so grateful that this year I have a great camp leader and she has taken care of EVERYTHING! I'm so happy to finally have someone who is willing to help, I am so grateful for her. I enjoy my calling even though it's really hard with my family and work but I know that my Father in Heaven will help me do what I need to get done. We have started the year out good Lana came down and went to church with us and it was a great feeling to have both of Mike's sisters and their families with us at church. Mike thinks I'm crazy but I don't think there is anything better than to be in church with your family, to me it just feels right. I'm sure you can tell that family means everything to me and I would not know what to do without mine. I love them all so much and I am very thankful for them all!!
