Happy New Year

Here is Anna, Justice, Matt and Ben on Christmas Eve

Well I am really ashamed to see the last time that I posted...sorry. We are off to a new start this year and I am ready to type. Last year was a great year for us, I find every year a blessing that I get to spend with my family. The boys are getting so big!! Well starting with the big guy who became a teenager this year, he is sprouting like a weed boy!! He thinks he is taller than me but I will make him think otherwise for as long as I can. School is going good so far, learning the struggles of growing up and having more responsibility though. Benjamin is also starting to absorb every bit of information out there. He is also starting to become a story teller, something I have no idea where he gets it? He still loves school and is always getting compliments from the teachers. Matthew really wants to go to school but is still a little too young. He is starting to use big words and trying to catch up with Benjamin on his height.

Christmas was nice, we had a lot of family over and enjoyed watching the kiddos enjoy their new toys. Both little ones got a new bike, Ben has been a pro but now Matthew has caught on quick. We are excited about the New Year bringing us a healthy beautiful and loved little boy. We are just so blessed to have such a wonderful family full of wonderful boys. We will be expecting the new addition in May...we are just hoping to agree on a name by then. So any ideas would be helpful.

Bill and I are both doing pretty good. Bill has really enjoyed his new position at work working with the animals, the horses have had two foals so far and they are just adorable. Me, I am so excited to be starting Photography classes actually tomorrow. I will be starting at Phoenix College, kind of scared to be starting a different school but thrilled to be going to a class this time. I have taken online courses for three years now, so change is needed. Work is work, just glad that Christmas is over in retail.

We sure do miss the family and friends out there that we don't get to see everyday, just know that we love and miss you all. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and enjoy all those little and big moments we are so blessed to receive. Try and take those hard times as learning experiences. We are only here on Earth for so long so treasure every moment and enjoy each other as long as we can. Here are a few pictures from Christmas.

I think Justice is getting too big for Santa's lap.
