Well, we have left the cold of Salt Lake and have moved, permanently, to St. George! I didn't think that my wife would like it here away from family, but as it turns out, she loves it here and wouldn't even consider going back to the cold. We have found a home in a wonderful neighborhood and our neighbors are great. We have felt very welcome here. The reason that we moved here is because our electrical company was doing very well in Salt Lake and I wanted to spread out and so we picked St. George. We are doing great here as a company also and feel very blessed to be able to have all the work we have in both Salt Lake and in St. George. I am a den leader in the ward and work with the Bears. Natalie goes running on a daily basis with a friend, she gets up very early in the morning and runs before the kids are even thinking about getting up.

Jayden is 9 years old and doing very well in school. He is playing soccer and loves getting out and playing with his team. He has a 'big' foot and is really good at defense. He has a lot of new friends and they live right in the neighborhood. We have kids over all day long when they are out of school.

Brooklyn is 7 years old and also really likes school. She has made a lot of new little friends and we have a lot of little girls her age that live in our neighborhood. She wanted to model and this summer she was invited to come to a modeling seminar in Las Vegas. There were 500+ kids there trying out for modeling and TV advertisements. When it was all over there were 5 awards given out to those that had excelled in a certain category. Brook got the award for the Best Overall. She is very proud of that and at this time we are working with an agent to see if she will be offered any jobs. This has been a very interesting experience for us as parents.

Brendan is 5 years old and stays home with mom all day. He has a lot of new little friends in the neighborhood too and loves to go out and play with them. He is very smart and is taking swimming lessons right now and loves it.

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
