Happy Birthday George!

Happy Birthday Mr. George!

George is turning 9, I can't believe it. He was 4 months old when we left Odgen after David's graduation from Weber State.

George loves to play video games, play the piano, and read when he has the right book. He has learned how fun it is to have neighbor boys to play with. Other places we lived we didn't have very many neighbors and some of those were wild animals.

George is a momma's boy. He always has a kiss for me.

He also loves to spend time with his dad and Carson. Just recently they all went shooting, along with Papa and Uncle Duncan. George had really good aim.

It is so neat to see how each of your children are different. George is more in the sensitive side but he also has a bit of a temper. We love him very much and are happy to have him in our family.

Happy Birthday Callie!

Happy Birthday Miss Callie!

Callie is growing up so fast. She turns 11 today.

Callie start reading the Nancy Drew series about 3 weeks ago and is starting the 7th book. It is usually Carson's nose that is plastered in a book but it is good to see Callie so excited. She had to skip the 6th book for now because her friend had already checked it out of the library.

She enjoys having her mom as her Activity day leader and almost done with her Faith in God achievement. Its neat to see her develop into a young woman.

Callie loves to mommy her baby sister, Liza. She is so helpful with her, Lucy, and Ginger. Callie is a wonderful big sister and such a good example for them all to follow.

She is a great blessing to have in our family and we love her immensely.

We are done!

The ads for the Thanksgiving paper. That was the biggest we had done. All the ads for black Friday.

George working on bagging the papers!

Again, I have an understanding for some hard workers in this world; newspaper carriers! Between semesters of college I worked as a server and learned how hard servers really work. I also learned what a good server does and I will tip a good server well.

Since Aug. 5 of last year we have been delivering 3 different newspapers to our neighborhood. David or I would get up about 2am and go to a depot to get the papers, there we would stuff inserts(ads) and bag them. During the week we averaged about 235 papers daily and on Sunday it is was about 350.

We are grateful for the experience but so glad we are done. Now onto our next adventure.
