ABOUT US



Yes, this is the most recent family pic I have. Sorry!

Everyone is doing really well and we have no complaints worth complaining about.

Terry is still working at Kennecott and enjoys being a member of their ERT (Emergency Response Team). Terry was asked to join the competition team so he has been training and getting ready for the upcoming competitions. When he is not working for Kennecott he is tied up working on various side jobs and eventually squeezes in some time for his hobbies.

As for me, I’m busy with work and focus spending as much time as I can with the family. I never imagined I would be so happy...I can't believe it sometimes. Life is awesome. I have allocated some time each day to spend at the gym. I ran 3 miles in 30 minutes this morning (yep…that’s my PR). When I started running, I was running/waking a mile in 20 minutes…(I’m embarrassed to admit that) I had a hard time running longer then 5 minutes straight. Now I can run 60 minutes and I feel I could run longer but I don't have enough hours in the day as it is so I quit after an hour.

Trevor is enjoying Jr. High and has made many new friends and seems to be happier then I have ever seen him. He still hates reading but he has learned that the book choice is very important and he has finally found a book that he is interested in. His interests are peeked when it comes to history and war topics and hopefully he will find that reading books on these subjects will make reading time less painful.

Alyx is in 2nd grade and has always enjoyed school. She thrives on knowledge and consequently, she thinks she knows everything. LOL! Alyx is very determined and detailed in everything she puts her mind too. She is currently dancing and competing in JAZZ and hip-hop. Her last competition (two weeks ago), her Jazz team took 1st place. We will be busy with dance competitions through the middle of May. I absolutely LOVE watching her dance.

Thatcher is growing up so fast. He is so dang cute and smart. He still attends Kristen’s home day-care/pre-school. Kristen has been teaching him sign language and he uses it a lot. The only problem...I don't know what he is trying to tell me so he eventually gets frustrated and just shouts out the word. Thatcher is definitely a daddy’s boy but he always wants mom when it comes to kissing his owies and/or needs to be cuddled. Other then that, Thatcher always wants to be with his dad working in the garage, playing on the 4 wheelers or driving up to Provo. Those two are “two peas in a pod”.

I will do my best to keep this site updated and add pics as often as I can.

Cheers!

Thanks for the notice. I couldn't help taking a peek... Family looks great, Amie. I am glad to hear of your children's many accomplishments.
