Well, not much has been happening. The girls are loving school and their friends. They are hardly ever home. Or else, half the neighborhood is at our house. I really do love being in a neighborhood with kids.
Sami is now almost 10 months old. At her 9 month appointment, she weighed in at a mighty 16 lbs 4 oz. She is only 15% in weight, but makes up for it height. She is a whopping 85% in height. YEAH!!! She started crawling right after the first of the year and hasn't slowed down since. She has figured out how to stand up to furniture and walk around to get where she wants to go. She has gotten really good at sneaking up behind you. We all have to check before we step backwards so that we don't step on her. She loves the outdoors. As soon as any door is open, she is crawling as fast as she can towards the exit. She is developing such a personality. She loves to tease and mimic everyone. She has been so much fun to have in our family. Last week my neighbor & I went out in search of some fun places to take pictures. We found a really cool tattoo shop that had some graffiti paintings on the walls. So we took some fun pictures of Sami.
Jesi is doing really well in 1st grade. She is a math wiz and is loving reading. She comes home every week with a new friend that she wants to play with. Everyone in her class loves her. Its been really fun.
Madi is also a math wiz and getting much better at reading. She too has many friends and is constantly making new ones. She is loving Activity Days and Girl Scouts. She is always asking if she has one or the other that week. She is sad when she doesn't have either.
Emily is getting reading to start Junior High. She has her 7th grade orientation this coming week. We then get to pick out her classes. I'm telling you all that I am NOT old enough to have a Junior High Student. She is loving Young Women's and has become quite the babysitter in the neighborhood. All the kids love her and ask her to come play often. For Valentine's Day, the 6th grade puts on a lip sinc program. Every 6th grade student has to participate for a grade. They were able to get in groups of up to 6 people. It was so much fun to go and watch the personalities of the students come out. She has also been taking a Ballroom Dance class at school. They had a competition the end of January. They competed against other schools in Layton. Em's team took 1st place. It was so neat to watch. They all got gold ribbons and a huge trophy for the school. She was so excited. We're really proud of her.

Kelly is now officially a Property Manager. He came home last week to inform me that they made him a Property Manager months ago, but just forgot to tell him.
Mary is still loving being home and can't wait for the weather to warm up so that we can spend more time outside.
We are starting our basement this month. The girls can't wait to get moved downstairs. They are already planning out their rooms and picking what to decorate with. I can't wait to get them all in their own space.
Well, that gets you all caught up for now. YEAH!!
