Hey Everyone
This year has been a long but fun one. Arianna is now 1 and is walking and gibbering, she likes to get into everything so she keeps us pretty busy, she loves to play with her brothers and cousin Hannah loves to do everything Hannah does. Dylan is now 3 and just about potty trained, he hasn't started school yet but he will next year. Tavien is 6 and is in the first grade he says he doesn't like his teacher because she gets his name wrong but other then that he likes it, he also likes to help me take care of Arianna which is a big help. Jeremiah works too much I hardly get to see him and I hate it but when he does take a day off we do fun family things together and every once in a while he goes fishing with his friends. As for me I quit my job at the beginning of the year so that I can stay home with the kids and I also watch Hannah during the day for Meridy its lots of fun especially for the kids. We are trying to move again because our landlord just sold the house we live in but he found another for us to buy so hopefully we get it. We also got a cat his name is Smokey but he only answers to "here kitty kitty" he hates Jeremiah but loves me and the kids, Arianna loves to dangle a string in front of him and laughs when he chases it. That’s about it for us this year. I hope ya'll have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year With Love Jeremiah, Kaleena, Tavien, Dylan, Arianna and Smokey aka The Strongs rylprincess@comcast.net

Hello All,
This year has been long, but successful.
Success #1: I got rid of the husband and replaced him with a Maltese Poodle! He and I split about 6 months ago but he’s remained one of my best friends. Living the single life has been very good for me, and so much fun, too! I moved in with Meridy and Hannah a few months ago and we’re having a blast living together. We’re always looking forward to Wednesdays when Kaleena comes over to watch Ghost Hunters with us. Girl talk and exercise have been nice to share with them.
Another success was finally deciding on a career. I’m going to start saving up for school and hopefully start next year. I’ve always enjoyed exercising, so I’m going to be a Personal Trainer. As of right now I work at MediConnect Global collecting medical records from facilities for Humana Insurance. It isn’t the most entertaining work, but I love the people I work with. I’ve been there for 5 months now
As you can tell, it’s been a very good year for me and I hope it’s been a good one for you, too! I wish you a very Merry Christmas and may your 2009 treat you just fine!
Love, -Kassie- swtstuff86@comcast.net

I’m going to South Valley College. I have new teachers and I like them and my school. I work at Wal Mart. I played on the Special Olympics Basketball Team and won a Bronze Medal. I have a cell phone! I like my home and parents and brother and sisters and new dog, Bliz

I am in 8th grade. I am now old enough to have a job and I have one. I work as a sweeper at Westland elementary where dad teaches. I play on a Jr. Jazz Basketball team. Dad, James, and I went hunting, but were unsuccessful. At scout camp I earned a lot of merit badges and I’m going to start working on my eagle. Last winter I went snowboarding for my first time. During the summer I went camping and ATVing with the family a bunch.
Merry Christmas, Joey
