Recap

For Christmas we stayed here in Laramie. We spent the night at Matt’s parent’s house and the boys had a lot of fun and seemed to like all of their presents! It was just a nice couple of days. Very fun and relaxing. I love that holiday and appreciate the time I spend thinking about the birth and life of Jesus Christ.
On the 27th we went to Lyman to spend a week with my family. On Saturday we all met in Salt Lake and went to temple square (after Mom, Dad, Matt and I went to a session in the Jordan River temple). It was crazy but fun with the WHOLE family (minus Ben’s boys) at my mom’s house. We played a lot of games and had a fun New Year’s Eve and day then we came back home on the 2nd and finished the break here.
While we were in Lyman we celebrated our 7th anniversary! I’m very happy in this marriage and I think it’s safe to say that Matt is, too! And he gets even better looking with age which is nice for me. ;) We left the kids playing with their cousins and went to dinner at a really good Chinese place in Mt. View. The time has gone by so quickly and I feel very blessed to be married to this guy.
Yesterday Matt turned 30! It was kind of weird for me and I really don’t think he liked it much… but he had a good day student teaching and we had a nice dinner that he liked a lot I think. Then his family came over for presents and cake and ice cream.

Baby Matthew!

30 years later

Now we’re on to Matt’s last semester! I have 19 piano students and a recital coming up on Monday so that keeps me busy and my mind occupied! Brennen is still loving pre-school and Dean doesn’t like it when he comes home… Dean is talking a TON and is really smart. We can tell that he knows a lot of things but it cracks me up because he’s hard to understand and Brennen NEVER was. Brennen is a good translator, though.
We’re all happy and are excited to start a new year that I’m sure will bring a lot of changes into our lives!
