We have a lot to report of late. We had the kids all here for the holidays for the first time in a long time. It was a wild and crazy time. they take up more room when they are bigger and have spouces and kids. It was so fun. The kids loved the hot tub and the trampoline. It was a round robin... tub to tramp and back...over and over again. The routine each day included feeding the rabbit. We are so blessed and the family is growing.
Kevin is the only one not marreid and we hope that continues. He has always been so good with the kids and Braden and Madi love him so much. Kevin is trying to
Cory and Lindsay are doing great. They bought a home in Puyallap (1 hour south) and they are working on making it a home. Their dog Dakota has a big yard to play in they are painting and decorating and Ryan helped Cory put in new counter tops. They attend the largest ward I have ever heard of but they are getting used to it. Cory has just become an EMT and works with AMR Ambulances. He did great in the training and has become comfortable responding to some pretty wild calls. Lindsay is working locally with a land developer.
Darren and Brandi were married last march and they live in Renton (20 minutes south). Darren works at GOOGLE in Kirkland and Brandi Nannys for two little boys and is studying Interior Design. They are so busy in their ward with the youth.
They are upgradig their condo in their spare time. Ryan helped remodel and put in new counters etc. It looks great.
Dan and Marci sold their duplex this fall and moved to west Jordan into a nice home on a culdesac. Braden is growing up so fast and now he has a new baby brother Brock.
Dan is on the last leg of his Masters program and has been really under a lot of stress. That is because he was just called as the Elder's Quorum president in his ward. Marci is a very busy mom now with two boys but finds time to do a little hair cutting.
Kandi and Carson moved 45 minutes north of Spokane this last year to live in his childhood home while his mom serves a misison back east. They are country folk now on an 80 acre farm. Carson is a jeweler in Spokane and Kandi and Madi manage the home and take care of a heard of cats and a couple dogs. Kandi schools Maddi and thoroughly enjoys the peace and quiet that comes on the end of a 1/4 mile driveway.
