Christmas Card

A little snippet of our Christmas Card and other favorite pictures from that day...

As I sit to write this letter, it is with the question in my mind of, “Where did 2009 go?” I cannot recall another year that went by so quickly. 2009 has been filled with much excitement and many changes including {but not limited to} having a baby, moving twice, buying our first house, graduation, and starting a new job. Rather than spread out these major events, we decided to all of these in a matter of 3 months! We are definitely looking forward to a much calmer 2010.

Rich graduated from Pharmacy School in June and started his new job as a pharmacist in Mesquite, Nevada shortly after graduation. . Lucky for us, he doesn’t mind commuting, so we bought a house in Washington, Utah in August. He is enjoying the pharmacy and also loves that he now has times for other things besides school and work.

Becca keeps busy staying home taking care of the two boys…a job that could be considered a referee, teacher, toy car expert, librarian, maid, organizer {you get the idea}. When she gets a chance, she loves to read, blog, take pictures, go for walks, go on outings, shop, and be with friends and family.

Parker is now 3 ½ years old. He is obsessed with cars, trucks, trains, and farm equipment. I’ve even learned that he will sit PERFECTLY still if he can watch these in action {as he demonstrated when we had help on our yard}. He loves being outside, playing rough, riding his bike, playing with other kids, and having attention from anyone and everyone.

We welcomed Braden into our home on May 11^th. I don’t think coming two weeks early was in his plans, however, because he spent his first couple of months crying constantly. Seeing him now, you would never guess that he was so sad. At 7 months, he is now the happiest little guy and melts our heart with his huge dimpled grin and giggle. He rolls and scoots to get around and is definitely a social little boy.

As a family, we LOVE having our own place. We love spending time with each other playing games, going on outings, & being outdoors. We have learned that if you want visitors – move to ST. GEORGE because you get them. We have had many fun visitors and look forward to many more!
