Updates

This is just a quick update for our family. First off, I had my ultrasound done three weeks ago. Kyler got to go and was very excited and asked lots of questions. The baby looks good and is measuring right on track. So the big reveal, is it a boy or a girl? It is a surprise! We decided to wait and see. I know its crazy. We were surprised with Logan. There's just something about not knowing while your in labor and delivery that increases the excitement and adrenaline. So you will all find out when we do.

Nick's work had a big design competition this year. Throughout the year there were mini competitions all leading up the final deal. The two categories were print design and web design. One of Nicks web designs made it as one of the five finalists for that category. The big day came with fancy lunch and all the excutives were there. Nick had no idea what a big deal it was. Needless to say he was very surprised when the called his name as the winner! This is a great accomplishment and shows what talent Nick has. He was awarded a nice crystal trophy and was given a platinum level award certficate that he could use at the company's award store to pick out whatever he wants. He chose the I POD touch and has a hard time putting it down. Good Job Nick! Check out his website at http://graphnickdesign.com/ and click on his blog to learn more.

Kyler is doing great in first grade. He is so smart and is a great reader. Something in his head just clicked when he was learning to read. He loves chapter books and I find him reading the Book of Mormon on his own. He is also very good at math. This will be a big year for Kyler, he turns eight. So that means preparing to be baptized and start scouting. He is very excited for both.

Nathaniel will be 5 in April and keeps asking me when he gets to go to school. He hovers over Kyler during homework time trying to take it all in. He also loves learning and is starting to read on his own and also loves math. Nathaniel has energy to spare. From the time he wakes up till the time I practically have to strap him in bed, it is go go go.

Logan is two and is at the fun age. He is so pleasing to have around the house and to see the little quirky things that he is picky up. Though for each time he is great, he has those toddler break down moments. He is so obedient and loves to do whatever he is asked, hopefully he will stay that way. His potty training is going great. I can hardly believe he's figuring it out.

Hopefully I can get some pictures posted, but many of you may know just how quickly that will get done with all the other things that need to get done.
