Since I've been blogging I don't send Christmas cards out anymore because, well lets face it, I hate buying stamps! So here's our family picture that I have no idea how it happened. I look way too giddy, mostly because out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Austin had finally started smiling!
Anyhoo. This year was pretty quiet. No big news, no major hospital trips, and we didn't go on any vacations! We've been in our house for 2 years now with no talk of a move which is a new record for us! 2 years is the longest we have lived anywhere!
DAVID: Is still working at American Express and is going on a business trip to New York City! It was a last minute trip so we didn't have time to save up for me to go ( I begged him to let me put it on a credit card but the dang accountant said NO!) He had season tickets again this year and even gave up the Airforce game so he could stay home and watch the kids while I went to New Moon (GASP!) (And for those of you who know David knows that that must have caused some contention around the house) He loves his calling at church teaching Elders Quorum and took a break this semester from school, but returns in January.
ME: (K so my pet peev in Christmas letters is when the person who is writing it puts their name there. We know its you! Its not a ghost writing it!) I got released from YW's after a year and I'm actually enjoying the break. I still watch Carson 4 days a week who is a cute little redheaded 2 year old. My biggest project this summer was the yard. I planted 6 trees and 40+ bushes (by myself! I want credit!) and 190 bulbs. Which of course led to my back killing me every morning (even now), but I am excited for Spring (mainly to see what I killed) I am now holding on to the final weeks of my 20's. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I never saw past 18 and thought the 2nd coming would've been here by now. Can I still shop at Forever 21 or do I need to start shopping at Coldwater Creek? Do I need to start buying anti-wrinkle cream? Last Spring my sister and I saw WICKED which was amazing! k-I'm boring, enough about me.
AUBREE: has been very busy this year. She just turned 9 and is definitely out of the Barbie and Disney Princess stage. She started her 3rd year of dance and finished her 2nd year of soccer. She's very excited to be starting basketball in a couple of weeks and enjoyed another year season going to the BYU games with her dad. Aubree is my little science nerd. She loves to know how things are made, loves bugs, and is finally enjoying reading. She's reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid and loves them! Aubree is my golden child (I know you're not supposed to have favorites, but when she cleans the whole house without you telling her to..COME ON!)
ADDISON: (giggle) what to say about my over-the-top drama queen girlie girl. She started Kindergarten this year and is doing very well. I'm excited to see how she does in school. She's funny how she reacts to boys her age. They will always say hi to her and she stomps off with a huge disgusting grimace on her face. Their are only a few boys that are allowed the pleasure of Addie saying "Hi" back to them. Addie started her 3rd year of dance and loves it. She is always showing me her dance moves in her 10th outfit of the day which is always a skirt with leggings. She went to her first Jazz game with her dad and came home thinking she was on top of the world.
AUSTIN: has come so far in just the last 6 months. He's in 2 preschools. One is the one where they have a speech therapist there to help him with his speech and the other is from a lady who does it out of her home (Who is AMAZING!) I just had Austin's parent teacher conference and they were thrilled with his accomplishments. Austin is obsessed with his ABC's, numbers, colors, and shapes. He loves to read books and point out everything that he knows. He loves doing flash cards and his homework. I asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he said "Flashcards!' He is also obsessed with Spiderman and wears his costume all day long! One time he tried to climb the wall and when he fell he looked back at us and asked "What happened?"
With that said, we hope everyone enjoys the rest of the year and keep in touch!
Love,
The Cheney's
