Marry Christmas and Happy New Year

This year has been full of adventure. Ethan is still attending School down at the University of New Mexico where HE landed a job as an RA. The Perks to the job are; He gets his own private bathroom, hot and cold running water, and free food!!! He also gets some pay on the side. He is doing well in his classes and he spends his free time playing computer games in either his bedroom, or his bathroom…yes he has a gaming system in his bathroom so he will never miss any action.

Kelsey is attending her last year in High School at Bonniville HS. She spends half her time at the local community college where she is working on her associates degree in cosmetology. She is also taking welding classes at the HS, and she is the star student. In fact she has become the assistant to the instructor. Her welds are great. Her Dad has been trying to get her to build him a Rock Crawling buggy as a school project.

Korina is in fourth grade and her artistic ability continues to grow. She is also in Choir. She loves it along with learning the piano. Korina has written several books already, and she has ever made a book about the animals she has discovered or invented. Creatures like the Penguin-horse, or the lion-horse, or the griffin-elephant-kangaroo horse ( can you tell she likes horses).

Marin is in second grade and is very smart. She reads as if she was in middle school, and she is very gifted in Math. Fractions, decimals, and multiplication are boring; She is working on some quantum physics problems for some students at the University of Utah.

Shawnette is now working part time at Columbia Elementary School in the admin office. She gets to help with all the office functions and help the nurse with all the bloody noses, broken bones, splinters and other playground injuries. She misses working in her field of Interior Design. She had a large firm try to hire her for her design talent, but the economy took a down turn and the job fell through.

Stan still is Director of Process Improvement at the LDS Church Headquarters. His year started off great with Adventure Races, Truck Races, and Backpacking and then he gave it all up to spend some choice time in the Hospital and several month just laying around being dead weight ( he claims he was healing, but he was just a lazy bum).
