Chad on "Ugly Christmas Sweater Day".  He and friends thot it would be funny to all wear sweatshirts with the stocking attached and then they all would decorate on their own and wear to school the friday before the break.  Turns out, all the stress the night before was for naught because he (we) was the only one to decorate!  He wore the sweater all day anyways, even in the 80 degree heat.  Why does this concern me so much?  Gotta love his enthusiasm, tho!

My niece, Kiley, had a baby boy the beginning of November - little Dallin is an absolute cutie pie!  Above is Dallin with Mommy, Grandpa Scott and Great Grandma Andreasen - 4 generations - we haven't had that for a long time.  Weird!  My brother is a grandpa!

Elder Spampinato is tearing it up in New Zealand, Wellington Mission.  It's been 5 months now and the people really love him and as usual he is gravitating to the kids.  He's such a natural with them.

Let Me Introduce You To ....

This is my new love, Zach!  I am watching him every M-W-F all day - he brings me an incredible amount of joy!  He is so good and so smart!  He loves the boys and they have so much fun with him.  What a great addition to our house!  I want to post more pix but I'm having a problem finding them.  When I do, I'll post.

New Location

So you're all aware that we moved from the Mountain Laurel house after 9 1/2 years- to a house 1/2 its size but I am lovin' it!!!!!!  It's still in Dove Canyon, closer to the gate, beautiful view of the mountains, no pool, no dumb dark cherry wood floors and so much easier to maintain.  I'm still in the process of getting things in their spots but it's liveable.  I'm not even missing the old house and haven't been by it in almost 4 weeks.  Here are some pix.

Travis and Wyatt's Football Banquet

On December 10th, Travis, Wyatt and I attended their Tesoro Freshmen Football Banquet at the school.  I didn't feel well that day but I wanted to go in support of them and their awesome team.  They each received certificates for playing and some really nice comments from the coach they worked with closely in the program.  The season ended with only 64 points being scored against Tesoro and Tesoro scoring 394 points.  A perfect winning season!  They are a team to watch for in the future of Tesoro and I couldn't be more proud.  They love football and thats good cause I love watching it!  We're so lucky to have the caliber of coaching that we do at the school.  I hope the budget cuts don't threaten that.
