New Start

I decided to try my hand a blogging again.  I am going to do better about updating our blog.
 

2013 has brought a lot of changes for us.  We moved to a beautiful new house in Queen Creek.  We didn't move far and the kids were all able to stay in the same schools. 

We did change wards.  This was very bittersweet we really loved the Stonecrest Ward and the many friends we have there.  Rob was serving in the bishopric and truly enjoyed that calling ( I think this was the hardest part about moving).  He really loved serving the ward.  We moved back into a ward that we were split from about two years ago.  So at least we were re-joining many friends there.  This Sunday Rob received a calling as the Young Men's secretary.  This is his first time serving in Young Men's.  I was called to teach in Relief Society.  I am excited for this calling, this is the first time I will serve in the Relief Society.  After teaching Gospel Doctrine, I am sure that I will learn more by teaching than those that I will teach. 

This past Sunday Rob's Uncle Rick and Aunt Janell visited with us.  It was fun to see them.   They attended church with them and we were able to have lunch and catch up.   We really miss being close to family.  One day maybe we will live near family again.

I guess since it's been so long I should give a quick update on each of the kids.  Ashley is a sophmore this year.  She is excelling in school.  She is very excited to be able to get her learn's permit, the first step to a driver's license.  She is stunning. 


Kelsie is in seventh grade and started Junior High this year.  She is also doing very well in school.  This past year she has had to take a break from dancing due to a hip injury.  She turned twelve in May and is enjoying Young Women's.

Cameron will hit double digits tomorrow.  It's hard to believe he is going to be ten.  He is enjoying school and does well.  He has Rob's sense of humor and has been voted class clown the past few years. 


Looking at how much our kids have grown makes me realize that life moves to quickly.  Some how I would like to slow it down.  I am often reminded that I need to relish each moment that we are given.
