Family:

• Christmas Card

• Curtis is in 8th grade. He played tackle football as a lineman and played basketball. He is pretty good at ceramics and plays a lot of video games. He also likes to work out and occasionally read.

• Zack is now in first grade. It’s been a struggle, but he is picking up reading and doing well. He participated in flag football, basketball, and swimming. He invites friends over all the time.
• Evelina started preschool. It keeps her adventurous spirit busy. She sings, loves cats, and pink.
• Joe: He continues to work at Lone Peak Hospital, mentored a student there, and loves to work in his shop, wood turning.
• For traveling this year, we went to the Grand Canyon, Capitol Reef, Black Hills, Island Park, Bear Lake, Goblin Valley, and the West Desert.
• There were also lots of local adventures, hikes, park visits, and fun times at home.

My Career:

• My full-time career is my family, so see above.
• For my side business, I had a few design clients and started more than I finished. But there is a newsletter now, and some articles have been published. I wrote a handbook to the first draft stage, then abandoned it to work on design articles.

Home:

• We were able to remodel the last part of our home that needed updating: the bathroom. And it already needs some repairs from doing the floor incorrectly, and we never did finish the shower portion.
• We painted our bedroom and finally got a bed (we had a mattress on the floor for years).
• Otherwise, things have gone into more maintenance mode. We did add a small pond in the front yard, plants here and there, and a new couch. The bedrooms were rearranged too, when my Grandpa passed away.

Ministry:

• The boys were active participants with Young Men’s at church and Joe was one of their leaders. He was released halfway through the year and is now in Sunday School.
• I switched from a counselor to a secretary in Relief Society. I like being the secretary. Joe and I were also called as Trek leaders for next year.
• I volunteered at the school for the garden club, the take-home library, and occasionally with the PTA.
• I continued a personal goal program with my sisters we dubbed Mountain Club. I also did a session with the Proper Mountain Women’s Club.
