This has been a wonderful year for our family. Matt has started his own business called Titlest Electric. He now has a crew of about 5 to 6 full time and some part time employees. We have been very fortunate and had a great deal of work. Having my own business is wonderful and rewarding, but also very time consuming. If anyone has any electrical needs, let me know and I will come and see what I can do for you.

Natalie has been a stay at home mom and has been tending kids. This year the two oldest kids have gone to school all day and being home with just one of my children is quite an adjustment. Brendan has been attending pre-school two days a week and the kids are just all growing up so very fast. It has been great to have Matt home more since he has started his own business. Even though he works a lot of hours, they are spent doing a lot of paperwork at home.

Jayden is in second grade this year and doing very well in school. He is a really good reader and loves school. He is also playing soccer on the same team with his cousins and is learning the rules of the game and loves to work hard at making a goal. He turned eight years old this September and is being baptized and confirmed by his dad. He is his dad's best friend and loves to spend time with him.

Brooklyn is in 1st grade this year and is learning how to read and how to write. She is a U of U fan and loves to tease her brothers about the games that the Y is losing and the games that the U is winning. She loves to color and draw and is very good at it. She is also playing soccer for the first time this year and is doing very well. She makes lots of goals in each game and works very hard to make her team win. She is also taking dance classes and loves to perform. This year she is going to take singing lessons and we hope that she will do well.

Brendan is four years old now. Time goes so very quickly and it doesn't seem possible that he is already in pre-school and next year will be going to kindergarten. He loves Jayden and wants to be just like him. He loves BYU football, because Jayden loves BYU football.

We want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
