2009 Already!

Wow.. I really can't believe that another year has flown by. It's amazing how quickly the time goes by. I can hardly believe it! Although this year has been full of challenges and hardship, it has also been one of blessings and happiness. We have truly been humbled and are so grateful for everyone's support and our belief in our church. It's truly amazing in the midst of fear, chaos and despair how much we truly have to be grateful for and it can calm the soul.
We spent a nice Christmas at home just having fun, opening presents and hanging out in our pajamas. Grandma Donna & Grandpa Wayne put the kids' money together this year and bought them "Rock Band" so needless to say a lot of music was being played by the 5 Paints Band!!! It was an instant hit and continues to be played nonstop.. and not just by the kids! :)







We had a fun time going up to northern Utah for New Year's and seeing our family again. The kids loved seeing their cousins and playing in the snow and we got to go to Grandma Lynn and Grandpa Marion's and open presents there, and they always spoil them.. it was just like another Christmas!! The kids ate it up.
