As the end of the year approaches I wanted to reflect on all the amazing things that have happened. As I have watched the temple being built across the road I feel blessed beyond words. Ashley just finished her cello recital, she did a wonderful job and is really starting to love her cello. My favorite thing is to hear her play while I make dinner. She just ran for student council and some how convinced all her opponents to run for something else, so she won uncontested. She is my little politician. I hope she always uses her influences for good. Rachel just finished the play "Peter Pan." She played the part of Wendy. She did an amazing job as wendy not only did she grow in confidence, but she sang her first solo on stage. I was so proud that I couldn't contain myself. Rachel also just had a recital playing her viola and has a gymnastics show tomorrow. She is learning a lot and growing confident and strong. Sariah was a mermaid in the play. She was the cutest mermaid in the play! She sang and danced and loved her mermaid costume enough that she tried to wear it every day. Sariah is doing amazingly well in her school work and gymnastics. She is reading so well and finds great satisfaction is doing well. She is my little artist and always likes to do things perfectly. She does not want to try organized music yet, but thrives in her little dancing world. She just started softball I hope she likes it. Brock has been spending a lot of time with his Papa Smith and his dad. They have gone fishing, watered gardens, golfed and played more than I can imagine. Brock learned how to spell his name count to 20 sign his alphabet and knows most of his letters. Sometimes I am blown away by how smart he is. I find myself trying to hold on to the moments he is little! My baby isn't a baby anymore! Our family is so blessed Jason and I feel happy just to be together!
