Happy New Year!

Wow a lot has happend in our Family this year!

From finding out our little family was going to grow

to sending Grandpa half way around the world!

Our lives are EXTREMELY busy!

lets start with Austin

Austin has had a very busy year with sports.  

He played on an All Star Basketball team that

played in several 6 to 8 week long tournaments!

He has become quite the basketball player.  He went from

basketball to baseball where he has been the pitcher

for the last couple of years. From that he went to football.

This seems to be a year of growth for him not only has 

he become more aggressive in his sports he has probably

grown 6 inches!  He is going to be taller than me by summer 

I am sure of it!

Now Jeff

Jeff is a natural athlete and had an incredible year

in both baseball and football.  In baseball he hit

9 home runs and if I remember right he hit 3 in one game.

Moving on to football....he played just about every position you

could think of.  He made the most touchdowns 

and had the most tackles!  Jeff says to tell you that

he is just plain AWESOME! He also has had a growth spurt

but Im happy to report I will still be taller than him 

for at least a little longer! :)

Samantha!

Wow...She has been a straight A student and loves

school!  She is becoming quite the violin player. 

recitals still make her nervous but thats ok.

She got to play baseball and soccer!  Im afraid

Im going to have to teach her how to NOT run like 

a girl.  I don't know how that happened!

She has been a great helper with her

little brother even tho she wanted a sister!

She changes diapers and feeds him!  She is 

going to make  a great babysitter! As far as growing

welllll I think she might be more like Grandma Curtis!

And last but not least Zane!

HOLY COW.....BOY!

Im sure you can only imagine our shock 

when the nurse said "he has all the right parts for a BOY!"

This little guys is going to be full of surprises!

From surprising us that he was coming to 

surprising us at delivery!  He is going to 

keep us on our toes!  He is the happiest little guy!

I guess I should tell you about Todd and I too.

Todd has taken on a new role as "coach",

He coached the boys baseball team, Jeff's football team

and now he is coaching Jeff's basketball team! 

We have been lucky with this economy for him to 

be working for the State of Idaho Electrical Bureau and 

he still teaches school at ISU's  technology department part time.

As for me well Im busier than ever running kidlets from 

practices to games.  I still work at ISU Credit Union as

 the Senior Teller, we are like family there.  I am hoping to 

take a photography class this year!  We have been married

 for 14 years this month! WOW how time flies when your

having fun!

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

And maybe just maybe we can all keep at least

one of our New Year's Resolutions!
