Anual burn

We got the fire started on the last day of our burn permit. The crazy weather here...anyway. We burnt the pile in a couple of hours and everybody helped. Then of course the burn isn't the burn without the hot dogs at the end. Brent had to sit behind his heat shield to roast. It was a pretty good pile, we topped the trees at his mom's house and added our stuff from our trees. It was a big bonfire!

2024 review

Image
 Dear Friends and Family,  2024 has been a year of change and growth for our family.  Brent continues to work at Nelson laboratories. His position has shifted. He is now a consulting study director for Chemistry. He has also been tackling the project of transforming the unfinished basement into a 2 bedroom apartment. He loves to be outside with the kids and in the yard. A knee injury has been keeping him from time in the mountains, but he is hoping that his careful care of it will help him heal and he will have more time there next year. He has been serving as the Sunday School President for the ward and was just released in December. On to new adventures! Katie continues to work for Alpine School District as a school counselor. She has been working at the Elementary level and loves the little kiddos. In late January she was offered a part time position as an ACHMC therapist for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Family Services. She has been balancing the 2...

2025 IN REVIEW: The Anticipation of Good Things to Come

Image
 2025 has been a year of anticipation. On alert for what would be happening or not happening in the future. I love the phrase "anticipation for good things to come." This season is a season of "anticipation of good things." We hope more, we try more, we focus on faith more as we anticipate this holiday season. There is a lot to look forward to. The concerts, finals week, the end of term, time off work, the beginning of a new year, Christmas celebrations, Christmas Eve, then Christmas morning, time with family, friends and loved ones, memories.  This year has been a year of good things that have come.  Brent has been so blessed with a job a Nelson Labs for 19+ years. He continues to excel at his role as a consulting study director. He had a lot of time off this year with our family. We traveled with him to California, St. George, Lava and star gazing chasing. He finished our basement, built beautiful things in our yard and as always yielded beautiful fruits and veget...

2019 review

You know the good thing about this blog is at least once a year I get on and update, haha! This has been a CrAZY year. We decided in November of last year it was time to move from our home of 9+ years. Three months later we were gone and it was a bit like ripping a bandaid off a wound. Our feelings were (to be honest still are) very raw leaving the comforts, friends, and familiarity of our community to a different one. Having children craziness and our own craziness has made it difficult to adjust and make friends. I just want people to understand that after we settle down (do we ever) I can be a normal person that is friendly. Anyway here is the review in a nutshell: Brent is still at Nelson Labs and doing awesome! He has so far survived the company sell out and enjoys meeting and talking with people all over the world. I tell him all the time if they want to transfer him to Germany I’m in! He works like crazy and is a huge help with transferring kids here and there! Right now we ar...
