Christmas Card 2012



Dear family and Friends,
We hope this holiday season finds you well and healthy (We are always hoping everyone is healthy!)
We have had a very busy and eventful year; full of numerous ups and downs. At this time of year we count the many blessings we have and the numerous blessings that have come to us this year.
Carson is now 7 and is in 1st grade. He is loving his new school and has made lots and lots of new friends. His time is mostly filled with sports and friends, which luckily mostly overlap. This year he has played soccer, basketball, flag football and baseball. He also attended numerous summer camps including BYU football camp and golf camp at Thanksgiving point.
Brynnley is 4 and loves her last year of preschool.  She loves anything Princess and girly, anything at all! She went to Princess Camp this summer and still shows us how to curtsey like a Princess. She tried soccer this year but was not a big fan. She loves ballet and gymnastics and is doing very well with both of them.
McKay is 2 almost 3 (In January) he has had a very busy year. Over 125 doctor and therapy appointments this year! His big doctor appointment for the year was a trip to Seattle to see a geneticist there. WE were happy to receive an official diagnosis for McKay while there. (M-CM syndrome) It was an incredibly helpful appointment and gave us a better idea of what to expect for McKay. McKay also started horse therapy this year. He has not loved it, but we have seen great progress with it. McKay’s big accomplishment for the year was taking his first steps in November. We are hopeful he will be walking next year sometime.
Our family has stayed very busy with all of the kids’ activities and some fun thrown in there. We had a family trip to St. George and Este’s Park Colorado. Both of which were a lot of fun and a lot of family time.
Kyle is still working for Cintas and is doing very well at it. He continues to exceed expectations and improve each quarter. I stay very busy just trying to keep everything under control and driving carpool, to activities, and to numerous doctor appointments.
We are thankful this season for all of the wonderful blessing we have and the wonderful support we have from family and friends. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
Love, Kyle, Valerie, Carson, Brynnley, & McKay
