Connor's teacher is fantastic. We are so blessed for having her. She has been working so hard with him at school on his writing. He has a hard time using a pencil. He really needs OT therapy. So I called the speech therapist because Connor is showing signs that he needs that again as well. She said Connor probably might not need it but she would talk to his teacher and see what she says and listen to Connor to see. when Connor got out of school I told his teacher what the speech pathologist said. She said, Oh I know that is what she said but I am working on her and I having Connor say certain things. She said she will keep talking to her about. His teacher is so awesome. I am praying they will let Connor back on an IEP! He really needs it!

New President
Well I tried watching the inaguration a week ago and it was hard. I was even crying and it takes a lot for me to cry. I think I was mourning tradition. O'Bama is doing things different than we are used to. I think he is going to bring change but I am not quite sure if it is the change we need or want. The world is changing and the world that we grew up in no longer exists. I think the inaguration made me realize this. But I am going to try to keep an open mind with O'Bama. I am going to listen very carefully to what President Monson has to say and what guidance he has for us for these next 4 yrs. At least you know you can trust Monson!! And I am not racist but if you really think about it. O'Bama really isnt the first african american president, he is half white.

The New Year
Well the new year has certainly brought some surprises. I ended up losing a good amount of weight without even noticing it. So I have decided to keep it up by exersicing everyday. Whether its jogging to Rylee's bus, running with the kids to the playground at their school or I have resistant bands that are attached to handles that give you a good burn. Also I found out that at 5 am and 10 am the BYU channel does a total body work out. Everyday its a little different so it confuses your body. Today I did yoga and I am familiar with yoga and never have sweated with it but this lady is good. I came out of it sweaty and feeling good and warm all over. Plus it helped with anxiety! I love it! This has made me feel so much better everyday!

Christmas Adventures
This is a video of Connor and Rylee's school holiday parties, our nephew A.J. came into town with his wife and son before he has to go to Bagdad and our Nieces: Kaysi, McKensie and Kassidy performed at the temple lights and our Christmas.
Our First Time At Build-A-Bear!
Grandma Urrutia sent us gift cards to build-a-bear. The kids had a blast because they had never been before. Rylee of course we all read to accessorize her bear which we didn't have enough for. She still says her doggy needs shoes. She named her doggy Sleeping Beauty and bought a sleepy beauty dress for her. Connor got a Koala and dressed it up as a nascar driver and named him Jimmie Johnson.
St. Lucia Fest
Ok so I have been behind in putting up pictures from this past year hoilday adventures. It I am still trying to settle in from moving and doing Christmas at the same time. So I have a lot to post!
