2009 Recap

Jeremy started his new position as Sgt. last
January. He continues to like it and is so much
less stressed than before. His polygraph business
is still going well and keeps him busy on the side.

Ian is 5 now. It has just flown. Last year he learned
how to read. He has met all his milestones ahead of
time. He learned how to ride his bike better this last
spring. He went to swim lessons last summer. He
continues to love sports and is very active. Ian continues
to sleepwalk from time to time, which I must add is
pretty funny.

Isaac turned 3 this last year. He became potty
trained in July. He also got to go to his first movie
at the theater "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs".
Isaac has a great sense of humor, he is pretty quick
with the comebacks, although they do not always
make sense. He is still pretty defiant. He loves books.

Emery turned 1 early last year. She has had an eventful
year. Lots of teeth, learning to walk, talking non-stop. It has
been a lot of fun to watch her grow. She is already showing
interest in potty training. She loves books and loves to laugh.
She tackles her brothers all the time. She gets excited when
football is on too.

In May I graduated with my Masters in Public Health. And in
October I started a new job at Health and Welfare which I really
like.

We went camping once this year. We went to Oklahoma to visit
friends and family. We also went to the State Fair. Jeremy and I
celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. It has also been 9 years
since I moved to Idaho.

We had a great year and are looking forward to what 2010 brings!

as usual. There aren't too many pictures because

hope you all had a great Holiday.

Updates

So it has been over a month since I posted anything.
Below are some pics. We had a good November.
Jeremy and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.
We had a great Thanksgiving with his parents.
Other than that I don't think too much else has
been going on. Just getting ready for the Holidays.

Ian is reading and doing it very well, he says he is
bored with another year of preschool so the teachers
have been finding new ways to challenge him.

Isaac is dry at night and naptime and has been for
over a month. It is so nice to have 2 potty trained and
only 1 left. Isaac is pretty funny and is learning a lot
in school. However the 3's continue to be challenging
and Isaac is definetly defiant. He is back talking more
and more everyday.

Emery is talking more and more. She is putting words
together to make sentences that make sense. She is
very independent, loves books, is and has been very
interested in the toliet. She loves her babies and likes
to put them night night. She will tackle the boys, she
can already hold her own. It's pretty funny!

She loves yogurt, but makes a huge mess.

This is Emery putting herself in time out. She

thinks it is very funny!

Just drawing!

My superheros

The kids had a blast at their Halloween parties at

school. They also had a great time Trick or Treating.

Emery keep wanting to just look in her basket and

see what she had. Then she would pick a piece of

candy to carry around. The kids, especially Ian had

a fun handing out the candy as well and Emery would

say good bye and wave to everyone that left. Isaac

would say thank you, but not trick or treat. Isaac left

his mask at school and Emery and Ian's capes were too

long, but they were still the cutest superheros. It was a

really fun Halloween.

Jeremy and the boys carved their pumpkins. Ian's

is on the left and Isaac's is on the right!

Fun in the Fall

We raked the leaves with our neighbors a few weeks

ago. The boys worked hard and then played even

harder. They had a blast jumping and playing in the

leaves.
