2010 has been busy and filled with fun.
Dave celebrated his 20th year working at MegaDiamond. Things are really busy at MegaDiamond as they are developing new products and growing the business. Their parent company SMITH sold to Schlumberger, so more changes and progress. At church, Dave moved from Young Men's to Ward Clerk and enjoys working closely with the Bishopric and other clerks. In his free time, Dave enjoys watching sports, mostly BYU and the Jazz, and keeping up with CougarBoard online. He likes reading, playing Sudoku, and wishes he had time to go golfing.
I am enjoying teaching 1st grade at Lindon Elementary. I love being able to have Kimee and Audrey at school with me. I love teaching so much, it barely feels like a job. At church, I am finally the Primary Chorister again. I had this calling about 10 years ago, and couldn't wait to do it again. It's a fun calling, but I most appreciate that having me there has helped Kimee and Audrey enjoy Primary more. In my spare time, I like to be on the computer- blogging, shopping online, planning trips, doing school and primary stuff, and more.
Kimberly is 7 years old and in 2nd grade. She loves her teacher Mrs. Heap (a 1st year teacher/intern). After school, she is in gymnastics and art class. Her biggest love is horses and she takes riding lessons when the weather is nice. She loves playing horses, watching horse movies, and reading books about horses. Kimee also likes being a big sister singing, and reading. She enjoys the Geronimo Stilton series, the Friend magazine, mystery books, and all of her library books. She learns a lot from the books she reads and she has an amazing memory.
Audrey 4 years old and is in her second year of preschool. She loves her teacher Miss Bonnie. She goes to school Tuesday-Friday afternoon and learns so much there. She is starting to write a lot, and always wants us to spell words for her. Audrey is also in gymnastics and art class. She loves horses too and playing with Kimee. More than anything, she loves being around people. She likes to be silly and make people laugh. Audrey spends her mornings at Cathy's and says that her best friend to play with there is Maddi.
Maddi turned 1 in April, so she is 20 months now. She spends her weekdays with Cathy, a neighbor of ours that does daycare in her home. Maddi loves baby dolls and Curious George. She is talking more and more and is overall a pretty mellow child. She is now "Maddi, the Mess Maker", and is leaving a trail of destruction everywhere she goes. It's very frustrating to Kimee, who is often my helper in cleaning up. But she will soon be past this stage and we will somehow miss all these messes.
We went to the Oregon coast for Spring break this year with our friends the Claunches and loved every second of it (except maybe not some of the driving). The girls ask on a regular basis when we will be going back. This summer was filled with swimming lessons, candy stands, a Puckett family reunion at Wolf Creek (up Ogden canyon), playing with cousins, a big birthday party, projects, fun day trips, and more. During fall break, we took a trip up to Yellowstone with our Smith cousins and our friends the Foxes. It was the perfect time of year to go and we saw so many of Heavenly Father's beautiful creations. It was breathtaking, relaxing, and so much fun. We can't wait to go back there too.
At this time of year we are so grateful for our family and friends, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our home and our jobs, and the many blessings we enjoy. Thank you for your cards and letters. We wish you all the best Christmas and hope you have a wonderful New Year!
