We started going on vacations there to visit my grandparents when I was just a girl. Now we are able to take our kids there. They love exploring the red rocks, swimming and golfing. This year we decided to explore some new things. On the trip down we stopped in Fillmore and went through the territorial state house (the original capitol bldg). And, on the drive home we stopped at Cove Fort. The spirit was so strong in both of those places...I couldn't help thinking about the amazing legacy we have and the history of our wonderful state we live in.<br /><br />We also took a day and went into Snow Canyon. Wow, it is such a beautiful place. The boys marveled at the wild life we saw. I admired the amazing mountains and thought about the volcanoes that left their mark on the area. And Ty loved seeing how many ants he could squish along the hike. :)<br /><br />Of course we enjoyed some shopping, golfing, a movie, and even went to Tuacon to see "Little Mermaid". It's mind blowing what they do with those productions. We were able to go swimming every day (except sunday). We came up with a new water game each day we swam. We had such a fun time.<br />I loved on the drive home talking about what our favorite part of the week was. Matt said golfing (so did daddy), Tyler said swimming, I said snow canyon and Tuacon. When asked what Zach's favorite part was he said, "just being with my family". I think he summed it up well!amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07638067018426472937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754667370263200379.post-42640008174221340322011-03-31T12:14:00.000-07:002011-03-31T12:33:29.809-07:00"March Madness" is right!We have had quite the month.

I love the shopping, the parties, the time with family, the anticipation and excitement...I love it all. We had a great time on Christmas eve singing our favorite carols and even had a visit from Santa. The boys got new sleds and had a blast trying them out. And boy did they look handsome the Sunday after in their new clothes. I think Tyler summed it up best when he said "this was my favorite Christmas ever". It really was a great one.

On Christmas Eve, after dinner, we are going to open all of our presents from each other and then have a family sing-a-long. ( I am determined to pass my love of music on to my children. ) There are some beautiful songs in the childrens songbook so we will sing a few of those along with Silent Night (a family favorite) as we read part of the Christmas story in the scriptures. I am really excited about sharing this with my boys. I hope it will touch their hearts as it has mine while I have been preparing it.<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2nIQ4p3Qcj2UhWXtUeLuXdTh7DTBp4cTu6jr5OUp6KCkWs2gPaWUnWz6zbGaJDZVrSpUldCBt-qjVg6s-NTY3ug8i-OGguP4z_h4TcnQtq7syShMMlAasL6rczPlQNiLAALR2iV6HS6g/s320/DSCF2972.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553216892793474450" /><br /><div><br /></div><div>We also want to pass along our love to all of you.

I enjoy making them and writing a short note in each one letting everyone know how we are doing and that we are thinking of them. This year however, there will be no cards sent. In their place we are doing an email/blog entry Christmas letter. Please know that we are still thinking of you all and wanting to wish you the happiest of Christmases.<br />This year has come and gone so fast. Zach turned 8 in Jan. and was baptized by his dad. It was a beautiful day to celebrate him and the good choices he has made. He has loved scouts this year as well. He continues to excel in school, sports and anything he puts his mind to. He is a thoughtful young man and is a great example for his younger brothers.<br />Matthew turned 6 this year and is loving the first grade. He has picked up on addition and subtraction so well (I wonder sometimes whose kid he is :) He played soccer for the second season and also tried b-ball this year. He loves both and is learning so much. He is growing to be a little gentleman, trying to remember to open the door when he walks ahead of me. He also is a great helper around the house.<br />Tyler is my little spit-fire :) He is full of life and energy. Sometimes I wonder if he will ever slow down. He is such a friendly kid, always introducing himself and sharing bits and pieces about him to anyone who will listen. He is loving pre-school and wishes he could go every day "like his brothers" He still loves giving hugs and kisses and I still LOVE getting them.<br />The newest member of our family is scheduled to join us the end of March. We anticipate with excitement his arrival.<br />John continues to work for IHC as a self-proclaimed computer nerd. He is amazing at what he does and I am so thankful that he has a job he enjoys. John has kept busy coaching the boys in both soccer and b-ball this year. He does a great job and the boys think it's "awesome" that dad is their coach. He has also kept busy this year with the "around the house" things, such as putting in a yard. The "honey-do's" never end :)<br />As for me, I quit my job at the pre-school due to the pregnancy. I loved my job but being home has been the best thing for both me and my family. I do get to watch my nine month old niece twice a week (which is fun having a little girl around). I am also enjoying working with the 8 yr. old girls in activity days. My boys keep me happily busy and I find so much joy in them.<br />As you can see our lives are full and blessed. We thank our Heavenly Father for the bounty he bestows on us. We pray for all of you and hope you know you are in our hearts.<br />Have a very Merry Christmas and may you find much joy in the New Year!<br />love,<br />John, Amanda, Zachary, Matthew, Tyler (and baby on the way)amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07638067018426472937noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754667370263200379.post-44924244538657405572009-11-13T11:31:00.000-08:002009-11-13T11:34:41.102-08:00IT"S A BOY!!!Now that we know we are having another boy we are trying to figure out what to name him. We are somewhat at a loss. A couple of the names that are being tossed around are: Joshua, Blake, Lance, and Max. None of these have been agreed upon by all parties involved :) So please, let us know what you think. Or if you have a better name, let us know that too. We are not going to announce the middle name yet but it starts with D.

Then come home and decorate them. The boys LOVE it and look forward to it every year.

While researching for the lesson I found a quote by Pres. Hinckley that said he always thanked Heavenly Father for his trials. When I first read that I thought "really...isn't that kind of like asking for patience " :) But it wasn't necessarily the trial we are thankful for it is what we can get out of it or learn from it.<br />Yesterday I was having a hard day. By about 8:oo last night I was ready to give up...I felt like I couldn't take much more. So I asked John if he would give me a blessing. It was a beautiful blessing that brought me so much peace. <br />I am so thankful for the preisthood. I'm thankful to have a worthy husband who honors his preisthood and is always willing to use it to bless his family. I am thankful for the support of good friends and family. I truly do have much to be thankful for...even through the trials.amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07638067018426472937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754667370263200379.post-65911545463829152542009-09-05T08:01:00.000-07:002009-09-05T08:11:27.377-07:00And The Winner Is...So when John read my last post he said he didnt think anyone would get it. Well, little does he know I have some very intelligent friends.<br /><br />YES WE ARE EXPECTING!! To answer all of your questions... I have been sick with this one (less sick than with Zach but more than with Ty). My scheduled "due date" is March 29th which puts me at almost 11 weeks. The boys insist this one will be a girl but John is positive it is a boy. While eating breakfast the other day the boys had a very funny conversation. It went something like this...<br />Ty: I think the baby is a girl<br />Zach: If it is what would you name it?<br />Ty: Grandma<br />Matt: We already have lots of grandmas<br />Ty: But not a baby one<br /><br />So for being so smart and figuring out the word problem you are all the winners.

We were planning on going somewhere exotic but decided to be practical and put the money into our yard. So we took 5 days and went down to St. George instead. We golfed, shopped (sort of), went to a movie, drove around in a convertible (top down), ate out, swam, and just enjoyed each others company. It was a great vacation. And we didn't even have to leave the great state of Utah :)<br /><br />Here's to 10 years and many more. I love you dear :)amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07638067018426472937noreply@blogger.com3
