Wow it's has been quite some time since my last entry. I'm not sure where the time goes. We had lots of fun this year and christmas with the family was great. I'm glad to be starting a new year with my family and new coming baby. I guess I'll just post a bunch of pic to get caught up. It's about 3:00 in the morning and I can't seem to get rid of the heart burn ouch. I guess I need to stay away form bed time snacks.

Okay so my sister is living in Hawaii and attending BYU there. She was super upset to find out her new living quarter 's had no stove or kitchen area, Stupid. Anyhow she does have a microwave and a small refrigerator, at least I think she does. So she decided to purchase a small portable burner she was thrilled. But later found out that she was not allowed one in her room Stupid. Okay so I need to hook Jillie up with some recipes for success, that don't need a stove. My mission is to gather recipes online that are delicious and pretty much cook free, except she does have that microwave and I bet it could come in useful.

Summer is here and I have no idea where the last 5 months have gone. William is always growing and keeping me busy. Glenn is done school for the year and is now resting his brain and relaxing with the fam for the rest of the summer. Life is good. Congrats Glenn for passing a your exams, and for all the hard work you do to bring home the bacon. We plan to go to Penticton for a week just to soak up the sun. We are loving living in UVIC family housing. We have so many great friends here and look forward to the next couple years here. I think we are really going to miss it when we have to leave.

The New Year

2010-01-26T20:30:00.000-08:00

Another year has come and gone. Dec 2009 brought busy times for Glenn in school, he had to study hard for mid terms, we are so proud that he passed them all. Way to go Glenn we love you!
Dec also brought stress with moving back to Victoria and into a new home. We have enjoyed the time in our new home. We spent Christmas with family and it was wonderfully busy, and fun as always. The new year was fun spent with the Knights and Keyes at our home. After all the family fun over the Holidays it had to end some time. Reality hit and Glenn was back to school and me back to busy mom. William has settled in nicely to his new home, and we have had fun meeting new people in our new ward at church. Things have been smooth sailing until we received a call from UVIC family housing. Yes we are moving again, ahhhh so we are in the process of packing again we are set to move in on Febuary 15 and this will be our last move for a long time. It will be good to have a stable home for a while. All in all we have high hopes for the new year. Here is our most recent family photos. Cheers everyone.

William's best bud Gavin.

William has a couple friends in Vancouver that he gets along with, but of them all William would have to say Gavin is his best friend. They never fight and they are so cute when they play together. William always says to me "Mom Gabin and Mindy's house" which means he want to go see Gavin and his mom Mindy. Just had to blog about these two. Enjoy!

October

2009-11-05T12:46:00.000-08:00

I would have to say the highlights of October were Thanksgiving and Halloween. Thanksgiving this year was spent at my uncle Calvin's and aunt Barb's home. I'm still not sure why we bombed going back to Victoria to see our family's for this occasion, but I'm glad we did, no offense to our wonderful family's. We had a great time at Calvin and Barb's. He really worked up a sweat to get the turkey on the table for us really he did. While Calvin cooked the dinner Barb took William outside to go exploring. We forgot to bring his jacket that day so Barb put one of her sweaters on him so he could go outside. Apparently everyone was giggling and pointing at William and saying how cute he was. But I'll let you decide. Thanks so much Calvin and Barb for making our thanksgiving a special one, and for putting in all that hard work for a wonderful dinner.

We went home this year for Halloween. We couldn't wait to visit our families and attend the annual Rann's family Halloween Bash, including pumpkin carving contest, bonfire, fire works and lets not forget the amazing hotdog's and junk food. Oh yes and the eating of the famous Aunt Lee's chili mm mm good, thanks to grandma Keyes.
Glenn placed 4th and I placed 6th this year in the pumpkin carving contest. I made the strawberry and Glenn made some sort of warrior not sure what he calls it.

You may be thinking what about Will's Halloween, well let me reassure you he had a good time at Grandma Orth's playing with his new Mack truck and dressing up in his new Lighting McQueen PJ's. Yes we skipped the trick or treating this year for Glenn and Jackie fun. But Grandpa did get William a costume. We dressed him in it and he lasted about 5min before ripping the dinosaur costume off. Thanks Grandpa for the cool costume! And thanks to all for making Halloween Spooktacular!

Making The Most of A Rainy Day

2009-10-20T13:54:00.000-07:00

If you are ever wondering what to do on a rainy afternoon in your city just google it. That's how we ended up at the Capilano Suspension Bridge. You never know where google will take you.

We had to borrow a poncho for William because I forgot his rain coat. But after a couple knots on the bottom and a bit of rolling up on the arms the man size poncho fit him.

Glenn said it rained the hardest he has ever seen that day. But we still had a ton of fun.
