As we celebrate during this Christmas Season and reflect upon the past year, we are grateful for the many blessings in our lives. Although our family has had many ups and downs during the past 18 months, our children continue to be the light of our lives and the joy and happiness that we celebrate!
Tanner (16) is a three sport athlete at Whitney High School. He was a starter on the JV Football Team as a Defensive Back, is a Varsity Wrestler and played on the Freshman Baseball Team. During his spare time he trained for and completed 2 triathlons. If that doesn’t make you tired, he continues to work on his Eagle Scout rank, is a great student and a wonderful brother. He is enjoying dating, driving and hanging out with his friends.
Taylor (16) is an up and coming actor. He made his High School debut as “Lumiere” in a production of “Beauty and the Beast”. He was one of two freshman cast in the play and was the star of the show in his lead role. He continues to perform with “Upstage”, a performing group, where he traveled to New York City this past summer. He even had an impromptu performance at a restaurant in Times Square. He is a great student and excels academically. He continues his progress towards Eagle Scout. He is enjoying his new freedom with a drivers license and dating. His mom is enjoying the fact that they can both drive as well, maybe even more happy than they are!
Riley (12) is a great baseball player, soccer player, flag football player, and wrestler. It’s hard to pick which one is his favorite or that he is best at because he is really talented in all areas. He loves being in Middle School and
enjoys hanging out with his friends. Great things come in small packages and if given a chance to watch Riley compete you will know what I mean. He is tough, resilient and doesn’t let even the tallest and biggest opponent scare him away. He has sent quite a few to the sidelines surprised by his tenacity.
Zach (9) loves to play baseball and soccer. He has found a new love of reading and we can’t seem to keep his book collection up to date. He loves to play with his friends, play video games and watch “Mythbusters” on television. He is such a joy in our life.
Chris is loving his new job but not enjoying the tremendous amount of time that he spends in the car. His true love is watching his children play football, soccer, wrestle and perform.
Katie is enjoying the little things in life that bring happiness. Always on the lookout for a new project or something to create. She enjoys updating our family blog, photography and trying to keep up with the boys and all their
activities and adventures.
May your family find peace and joy this Christmas Season!
