Jayce Blue &Gold Dinner

Jayce just earned his 2nd bead in scouts. They recognized him this last pack meeting and he will be getting his Wolf badge in the next one. He is loving scouts and is pretty excited about being advanced.

Locks of Love

Well Joey just donated here hair again. Mara's birthday is in March so in honor of that she decided it would be a good time to donate again. We went for the weekend up to see Tyler and Amy and Amy cut it for her! She looks so big and mature with her new cute short hair. Thanks Auntie Amy!

Making gingerbread houses! Funny how you can tell each child's personality based on his/her house?!?!?!? Jayce is all about the basics. Joey is very detailed and Jett just wanted to know when he could eat his!! :) Thanks Amy and Lara! Fun Memories!

Here is the whole crew! Sad you can't see Hadley but she is in that baby carrier....she is so cute!

Chico

Hi All, I know...it has been forever again. I am going to try again this year to be a better blogger. So here goes. We are here in Chico. So far we all really like it here. We all miss Auburn, but I think this could eventually feel like home. I have finally figured out where most everything is. The shopping here is sortof lame, but I was never that much of a shopper so not really a big deal. Our ward is old....not very many people our age or our kids ages for that matter. So we really miss our Green River Ward family! But who knows....maybe the boundaries will change soon and we'll be just fine! I am teaching the 6 year olds (3 adorable and dramatic little girls) in Primary. Adrian is the new Gospel Doctorine teacher (glad it is him and not me!!:). I think he'll do great, but he is a little nervous about that one. Jayce and Joey are enjoying school and making new friends everyday. They are already trying to schedule playdates! Jett is missing the Y and all his "real" friends. He also wants to move back to our old house so he can go back to school. Everyone is missing the Auburn Gateway experience! But the house is very functional. We have had a GREAT Christmas! My brother Jayson and his wife Lara came with my other brother Tyler and his family (wife Amy and 3 daughters Lauren, Kate and Hadley) to spend it with us. It was fun to actually spend the holidays with my family! I'll post a few picts. Love and miss you all! Happy NEW Year!

Moving to Chico

Many of you already know...but we are moving to CHICO, CA! We are very excited! Adrian is taking a position with a company called Spectrum. We are right in the middle of the moving process and much has happened in our lives and I will have to update and post those things after I get settled again. Jayce was baptized on the 7th. Joey turned 7 on the 5th of Nov. Jett snorted a popcorn kernal (that boy is gonna make me crazy :) and we finally cut his hair. So much to look forward to.... I just didn't want people to wonder if we had dropped off the face of the earth.

Triathalon

I am officially a tri-athlete. I competed in the Federal Escape Triathlon on July 25th. My goal was just to finish...and last place was totally ok with me! However I was pleasantly surprised when I came in 96th overall (out of 147) and 9th (out of 15) for my age group. So I actually was pretty average for my first ever competitive event! I might even do it again sometime...anyone else want to join me?! If you have any desire...you can check my stats at www.trifreak.com and my bib number was 315. (There are some oh so lovely pictures there as well.)
