This year has been great. We are all in good health and are thankful. Mark is still working at OWATC and plugging away at college classes. Jane still has her cleaning business and cleans 2 buildings with her children 3 times a week. They are learning how to save and spend their own money! She is still the ward music chairman, and loves it.

Zjani graduated early and has been attending WSU since Fall 2003. She has also been earning her cosmetology license and will be done in December. She has plans to attend USU sometime next year and continue her education in Nutrition.

Zach has been busy raising steers, and most recently a cow and calf. He bought a cow that was with calf and was so happy when she delivered a heifer calf in September. He just got his steer that he is going to be showing in the Weber County Fair next August. He is planning on having the Grand Champion, but if not just wants a good price per lb. for his steer. He has good grades and is just a happy, good kid. He also earned his Eagle this summer.

Coleton is in 7th grade and still playing competitive soccer. He loves to run and is fast. We are looking forward to he and Zach being on the same track team this spring. It will be fun to see who wins! He is adjusting to junior high and likes it much better than grade school.

Marijka is in 3rd grade and learning her multiplication facts. She is getting pretty good at them. She loves school, mostly for the social stuff. She was baptized this past June and was so happy to do so.

Levi started kindergarten and thinks it is just OK. He would rather stay home most days and just hang out with Dawson and mom, but I make him go. He is doing really well and has many friends.

Dawson turned 2 this year and is like the energizer bunny! Either he is more active than the rest when they were his age, or I am just OLD! We are so glad to have him help us stay young. He is so much fun to have.

We are thankful for all that Heavenly Father has given us, and feel truly blessed to live in this country and have the freedoms and blessings we have.
