Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!
This has been an eventful year for our family. Our biggest change was buying a house and moving to Thatcher, AZ from Scottsdale, AZ in March when Ty gladly accepted a job offer to work in the family business, Allen Pump Co. We have been enjoying small town life ever since. Being in Thatcher, Ty has also enjoyed following his high school Alma matter’s sports teams along with watching Arizona State Football. Ty is able to come home for lunch almost every day. This summer Ty was able to realize one of his dreams growing a yard full of beautiful grass.
Spending this year at home with Luke in Thatcher has been very nice. From friends at church I’ve enjoyed learning how to home can different foods. I surprised myself developing a real love of reading. Reaping the benefits of living next to the community college, EAC, this summer I learned to play tennis, and this fall I played violin in the community symphony. Also, we are all greatly anticipating the arrival of a new baby this summer in June.
Luke started this year my little baby, and now at 19 months old he is a little boy. Learning how to walk, talk, and feed himself are only a few of his accomplishments this year. He has been an incredibly happy and healthy kid with simple likes and dislikes. He loves playing Nintendo Wii, reading books, candy, doggies, cars, and being spoiled by grandparents. He does not like Nursery, vegetables, sharing, being told “no”, and having sticky stuff on his hands.

I am glad Ty was able to enjoy grass in the back yard, probably a little easier to grow in Thatcher than in Scottsdale (perhaps??!). Anyways, I enjoyed your letter. I just checked out Savannah's blog and she is pregnant too! You guys are so cute and will have kids the right ages to play with each other, did you plan that? I think it is super awesome!! :)
I love this picture, you look fantastic!!! And what a beautiful family!
