The end of 2024

We ended the year without much excitement. Most of us fell asleep before midnight! Alex drank a bottle of martinelli's by himself at midnight. Mom guilt moment. I just couldn't stay awake! Anyway, the last few days before the new year were full of togetherness and video games for the boys. 

Phoebe loves playing with the laser light 

I invited my coworkers over for brunch. It was wonderful to have them in our home. Ethan was snowboarding but everyone else enjoyed some delicious food.

Happy New Year from our fancy pups! 

Kedzie didn't get enough sleep. 

Ethan welcomed in the new year with his squad at Riley's house. 

2024 ended on a high note. Everyone finished the school semester with great grades. That was one of the most important things for me to have happen. My work is great. I love my co workers and I love the challenges that the job brings for me to learn and grow in difficult situations. We are all healthy and taking our meds! We are all striving to do better and be successful individuals. I'm proud of my family. 

Kedzie truly is thriving at Utah State in her own, unique, wonderful way. She has good friends and is experiencing adulting and new adventures all the time. She's planning on starting working in the new year and she is learning and growing as a future teacher. 

Ethan has one semester left of High School. He tells me daily he's dropping out to become a construction worker! He continues to have an awesome group of friends. Works hard, plays hard and is in the middle of wrestling season. 

Triston is doing great in school this year and working on finding a job now that he's sixteen. His club season starts officially next week and he keeps himself busy on his phone texting and playing games.

Alex applied for the Gateway to College Program at Front Range and will hopefully start there in the fall. In the meantime, he has one more semester online. He mostly spends time on his computer and his club season starts next week as well. 

Travis and I, as of January 1st will be co-owners of Nuf Said Advertising. Can't wait for that adventure. So grateful to Rick for the opportunity and for raising our family, financially, over the last 22 years. We are eternally grateful and so blessed.

Thanks to 2024 and here's to a special year. Bring it 2025
