Jason is still coaching at Weber State. They didn't finish as high in their conference as they had hoped, but they had a great year. It was a young team and they all fought to the end. Jason LOVES to be back in the coaching scene and we love supporting him!
I am still working at Pottery Barn Kids and Gap and the Hospital during the off-season. It it hard at times, but I do enjoy adult interaction! When i am not working I am busy with the kids and their school work, or transporting them between school and soccer and flag football practice/games. I am serving as the Second Counselor in our Ward's Primary Presidency. It is a lot of work, but we have seen so many blessing come from it and I am truly grateful to serve the children in our ward. Our Primary President is moving (BOO!), so it looks like we will be getting released. I have LOVED working with these girls and will miss them so much.
Taliana is excelling in school, as ususal. She played soccer this past fall and also participated in Tanner Dance. She has danced with Tanner Dance for the past 2.5 years, and has decided it is time for her to move on. She would rather focus on soccer and hopefully Polynesian dancing or HipHop dancing. She is definitely our dancing queen.
Ammon is loving school as well. However, his favorite part is recess. There isn't a day where he comes home covered in MUD! I always ask him why he is so dirty and he says because he plays soccer or football at recess. Boys will be BOYS! He participated in soccer (with Taliana) and flag football this past fall. He is such a great athlete! I wish I could say it was a gift from me, but we all know where he gets it from! hahahah! Ammon is such a great brother and is always helping his sisters. He is so patient with Malia - She bosses him around and he doesn't even complain.
Malia is wishing she were in school! She keeps me busy. She loves to play pretend! She will cook in her kitchen, play with her dolls, do our hair, play dress ups. She is 100% girl, and I LOVE it! I'm not going lie.. she is the boss at our house. She went and stayed in St. George for 10 days last October and my sister gave me some advice, "she has to be the boss!" I didn't want to give in, but it truly makes my life easier but just letting her run things. Don't get me wrong, I don't allow her to throw tantrums to get her way, but she knows how to ask nicely. It works!
Meesha has found a new friend. He lives across the street and his name is Max. She goes over to his house about 2-3 times a day. Most of the time we have to go and get her or she won't come home. I don't know why we are not good enough for her to stay with us all the time, but the neighbors are so nice to her that it's okay. She is still a cuddler and I love it.
So... that's it! Consider yourself offically updated!

Where are they now?

New Year – New Goals
I have decided that one of my new goals for 2011 is to blog more. I used to feel like it was a waste of my time to blog because no one ever reads my blog. But as I looked back through all my old posts, I realized this will be a great journal for my kids when they are older. I am not into scrapbooking – it’s just too over whelming. I would love to publish my blog into a book for our family. I have always been stressed about what to write about and what pictures to post, but this year… it’s all about ME and MY FAMILY! So, I will be writing about our lives and adventures. I am writing this for me! So, if any of you would like to follow along, you are more than welcome! But I am not going to stress about my topics, my pictures, or how perfect or how entertaining my blog will be. Thank you! Wish me luck!

All good things must come to an end.
Jason went back to work this morning and I took the kids to school. Don't get me wrong, I will miss them all terribly, but I am ready to get back on my daily schedule.
Malia was really bummed that she didn't get to go to school today. I told her a while ago that she could go to school after Christmas, and this morning she woke up, got dressed, and got her backpack on and said, "okay, I'm ready for school." So... it looks like I need to find a preschool for Malia. I know she is ready for preschool, but I don't think I am ready for her to go just yet. I can't believe my baby is 3 years old!

December Celebrations
He also got a helmet for his skateboard and scooter. He LOVES to go to the nearby skatepart and ride his skateboard. I've always been nervous about his crashing - so I guess he can crash as much as he wants now that he has this sweet new helmet. :)

The Football Life
So, this is my first year as a "football-wife". I'd love to say it was a breeze, but honestly it wasn't as bad as I had dreaded it to be. It was fun going up to the games and the kids had a blast. I didn't travel with the team to any away games, maybe next year!
Peter's #1 fan! Malia loved "Waldo" and refused to let anyone near him.

Malia turned 3!
I can't believe Malia is already 3! Where has the time gone? I threw her a party and it was a ton of fun. A LOT of work, but totally worth it. Jason was out of town for a football game. I did make a note that I will NEVER do a party without him again. We work really well together. I plan it all and he entertains. I am NOT an entertainer, but luckily 3 year olds only need balloons to keep them busy. Here are some pictures from the day....
We took her to Nicklecade for her special day.
Malia was SO excited that Brittny came to the party.

Where do I start?
I know! It has been like FoReVeR since I have blogged. Life has been super crazy. Here is a quick update....
Jason is still coaching the defensive line up at Weber State University. He is LOVING it (and I am learning to love it). They haven't had as good as season as we have hoped, but the Defense had done a GREAT job. Jason is still working at United Airlines, so he is extra busy. When he has a little time off from Weber, he is at the airport catching up on his hours. But I'm NOT complaining... I love the flight benefits!
I am still working at Potterybarn Kids and Gap. I have taken time off from the hospital during the football season. I was called to be the second counselor in our ward's primary this past May. I was really worried about all the added time it would take, but I have been really blessed these past few months and have noticed that my work schedule and church schedule have worked out great with one another.
Taliana just finished fall soccer and is totally bummed that it is over! She was a great forward! She is working hard in school and is top in her class. We are SO proud of her. Taliana is still dancing for Tanner Dance, but I think this is end in December as she would rather focus on soccer. What can I say? I tried! She also started playing piano again after taking some time off.
Ammon finished fall soccer and flag football. Ammon was a great goalie for the soccer team and an all-around awesome player for the flag football team. He was great at running back, quarterback, and a few other positions (that i am still learning the name of). Ammon just started piano this past month and is really enjoying it. However, he doesn't like the fact that he has to get up earlier in the morning now to practice.
Malia is enjoying her alone time with me! She wishes she were in school, so hopefully we can find her somewhere to go in January. Until then... I really do enjoy spending my days with her and listening to her talk. Which most of her sentences begin with... "Oh my gosh...". hahahaha
Meesha has found a new friend (Max). She visits him every morning for a few hours - then I have to go and get her because she refuses to come home.
okay.... now for the moment I'm sure you've all been waiting for.... updated pictures.....
We took the kids to Hawaii during the summer. A much needed family trip!
Malia finally had her chance to meet the princesses at Disneyland.
And Taliana and Ammon rode all the "fun" rides with Jason while I waited in lines to see all the princesses. Totally worth it.!

Sundace 2010
Well... it wasn't as exciting as last year. Jason was busy with recruiting so he only worked Sunday. However, we did go up Friday night just to "hang out". I accidently left my camera in the car, but that was okay because there really wasn't anyone worthwhile.
