I'm not doing cards this year since most of you can look at the blog anyway.
Like every year, it was another busy year! In August it marked our 1 year anniversary of being in our house in Stansbury with no talk of a move! (That has never happened!) This year we traveled to Arizona to visit family and went to Disneyland. Our HUGE project this year was getting a yard in. I am so glad the basics on the house are finished so I can enjoy it before we move again. (Remember, no talk of a move, but you never know with us!) Dave and I also celebrated our 10 year anniversary!
David has been with American Express for 2 years now. The company recently did layoffs of 7,000 people nationwide so we are very grateful that David wasn't one of them especially during these hard economic times. This year he got his brokers license & is still going to school at Westminster for his MBA. He is still doing his accounting "firm" on the side & him and his "partners" have another little project going on that keeps him VERY busy, but I'm not ready to mention it yet. Maybe in next years letter.It was another year of BYU football and he took Aubree to a couple of the games, but looks forward to when Austin can go (Aubree's getting bored)
Aubree is very busy this year. She just turned 8 and is looking forward to being baptized Dec.6. Aubree is involved in dance and a music/theater group. ( I live in my car) This past summer we put her in a summer school program at Challenger that was in West Jordan (45 minutes away!) We felt that she didn't get much out of 1st grade and felt that this would be a good move. It was a long 6 weeks of driving, but Aubree loved it. She's my little mommy around the house helping me with the kids and when she's not doing that she's making some kind of craft.
Addison is 4 1/2 and is hilarious! She is as girly as you can get and is very particular about everything. She has preschool 3 times a week and is in her 2nd year of ballet. Addie loves to take baths in the middle of the day and play with her toys. She loves Tinker Bell and the highlight of her year was watching Tinker Bell fly over the Disneyland Castle during the fireworks show (I will never forget that squeal!)
Austin is 2 1/2 and what can I say? He has sooo much energy and is my little tornado. He is very particular on what he wears. He LOVES his Cars pj shirt with red shorts and orange shorts (Yes he has to wear both pairs of shorts at the same time!) He still adores his blanket and his finger.
And me? I think this has been my busiest year. If I'm not running kids every where I am babysitting a little girl named Lauren. I recently was called into Young Womens which puts on a whole new meaning of busy with meetings and mutual, but I am learning to love the calling and to love the girls. I'm looking forward to another summer with our yard and hoping that at least one tree survives the winter!
We hope to find everyone well and happy!
Love, The Cheneys
