| You mean to tell me if I'm naughty, I get nothing from Santa...? |
Well it has been a very long time since we last posted. We have done so much in the last 7 months it's hard to believe this much time has already passed. We are excited for 2013 and for the many wonderful adventure that are soon to come. Instead of recapping months I will recap the big events from the last few months for all 3 of us.
Saryn- Our little Kiddo is now 9 months old and is so silly. I have never met a baby like her that is for sure. She keeps us all on our toes. She enjoys playing with all her toys and throwing them. She is fasinated with climbing up and down the stairs. She can stand on her own and when you hold her hands she does a silly walk where she throws her leg high and points her toe then sets it down to step. She is so silly! We love her muchly. Saryn's most favorite thing to do is go to the pool and "swim". She loves the water and gets excited everytime she sees the water. We think we have the beginning of an olympian.. hah. Saryn loves to spend time playing with her Papa when he gets home from work. He has taken her down to the see the horses and she has named the horsey Mi ma and Papa got her for Christmas Dodo (Short for Dakota her favorite horsey). She loves to be tickled by Mi ma and spend time with her when she gets home. She loves climbing all the stairs in the house to find where everyone is hiding. We are still trying to get her to say me-me(Mi-Ma). Saryn spends her mon wed and fri's at Grandma hill's house while mom and dad go to work and school. She loves to play with Grandma and Grandpa and to play tug a war with Toby. She sleeps through the night mostly and wakes up a very happy baby. She is still working on the mullet, the top hair isn't very dark and kelsie is pretty sure she is going to eventually be a blonde. Saryn enjoyed her first Christmas where she was spoiled rotten by everyone including Santa. She is such a sweet baby and we love her to pieces. We are excited to watch her grow and are so blessed to have her in our lives.
Alex- Mr. Man started school at Weber this fall after graduating with his associates at SLCC. We are so proud of him and are happy he is now doing very well at Weber. Alex has decided to pursue a Health and Promotions major in wellness. His first semester back a Weber in this major brought about very good grades despite our crazy life. Alex got to run a 50 miler with his dad, although they were unable to finish due to complications they still had fun. Alex had surgery in August shortly after his race to repair his hernia for the 2nd time. We hope it stays away forever! Alex has started running again slowly but surely to get back into doing what he loves most! Alex is still at the pool and will probably be looking for a new job for the fall (We'll see). Alex has been one of the head swim coahes at Roy High school this last school year and is looking at sending 8 kids to state. He is happy to end the season strong.
Kelsie- Almost finished with school. After a semester off, Kelsie has been plugging along through the summer semester and into the fall semester to hopefully finish up her degree this coming summer and walk at graduation in April. She is excited and is trying to get all her ducks in a row for the spring semester so she can have the green light for graduation. She started working at Bridgewater International at the end of November and is so far really liking it. We are hoping once she graduates she can get into a job in her degree, but for now she is ok with where she is at. The Hill family- In December our family got pre-approved for a home loan and started looking at houses. Right now we are under contract for a house in Sunset, Ut and as long as everything goes smoothly we should close on the 30th of Jan. We are so excited to be getting our own home and starting our life! We hope everything works out so we can keep the gears moving. If this house for some reason falls through we won't give up!
Our resolutions for this year:
1. Start Doing more family prayer and scripture reading. (So far we are doing great)
2. Get healthy. We are working on getting a better lifestyle and destressing our lives. We want to be healthly happy and full of energy.
3. Pass our classes
4. Remeber the Lord in everything we do
5. Don't forget to say Thank you
6. Remember the small and simple things
7.Go on at least 1 date a month
We know there are more things we want to be better at this year but this is a start. We have a lot of things going on in the very near future and we are taking it one step at a time!
For now we are living life and loving every belessing and trial we have been given.
Love,
Alex, Kelsie and Saryn
