End of year update

I wanted to finish off the year by giving a little update/review of everyone for the year....

Ty--

He is our bread winner of the family. He is such hard worker. This year he bought a concrete lifting business and has actually done really well in the short time he has had it. He also got a promotion at work and is now the team lead of his group here in Provo. That came with a raise and we know it is because our cute Lyndin has come into our family. We have always see such a huge blessing every time a little one has come into our family. He is still serving as 1st counselor in the Young Men's. He also bought a new truck to go along with his new business. He loves mowing the lawn. He had a couple of dude's 4 wheeling trips. He built some shelving in our garage.

Chelsie--

She is the ruler of the roost. She gave birth to our final baby of the family. She also went on a couple girls vacations this year to Washington D.C. and to Las Vegas. She has read plenty of book, probably over 100. She did go into the dr. for a bit of postpartum  depression, but is doing much better now. She is still serving on the Relief Society Activity board. Being a mom to 4 kids has been a whirl wind and she is finally starting to feel like she has some what of a routine going on.


Addi--

She got baptized this year. She has loved having a little baby around the house and is such a big helper. She got a palette expander put in her mouth. She started the 3rd grade and has learned cursive and memorized all of her times tables up to 12. She is getting better at reading. She still is super good at sports, but has found a love for drawing and art. She still is big into animals and loves to pretend to be a cat or dog. She is starting to turn into one of those giggly girls when she is around her friends. We have heard from her teacher and other parents at how kind she is.

Parker--

He graduated pre-school and started Kindergarten in the fall. He has learned all of his letters and knows their sounds. He catches onto things so quickly and is starting to read. He understand addition and subtraction. He also is our TIME child. He wants to know how much longer, what time it is, when things will happen, and when we are leaving. He had his mouth surgery and is healing really well from that. He is super in to Star Wars right now and still loves anything boy. He is iPad lover, and also loves to watch You tube. He is our softy and does not handle getting his feelings hurt very well. He is so patient with all his sisters and definitely loves to look out for his younger sisters.

Emery--

She is still a little spit fire and also our girly girl. She talks so much and her vocabulary continually amazes us. She will tell you that her favorite color is pink, that is is 2 years old, and that she wants to go to school. She knows that mom's name is Chelsie and that dad's name is Ty. She loves to dance and play pretend. Her favorite food is any type of berry and hot chips (salsa verde doritoes). She has had a rough time giving up her "baby" title to Lyndin. She can be sweet to her when she wants to, but most of the time is pretty mean to her. She is really close to being potty trained. She also moved from her crib to her big girl bed. She also had her belly button fixed this year.

Lyndin--

Her highlight was coming to earth this year. She has been out little sunshine and makes everyone so happy. We are told all the time at what a happy baby she is and that they have never seen such a happy baby. We had her RSV scare when she was 5 weeks old, but she is happy and healthy now. She has learned to roll over, sit up by herself, crawl, and has stood by herself for a little bit. She loves her milk and has a favorite blanket. It is a blanket that has a silk border around it. She loves her dad, but also her mom. She had her first trip to Disneyland.
