Merry Christmas! 2008 has been an adventurous year! In January, Scott and I went on a Caribbean cruise. We had a blast swimming with stingrays; cave tubing, and ziplining through the rain forest. We loved it so much that we are taking the kids on a cruise this January. In May, Scott, Jake, and I completed the Ogden Half Marathon! Jake had a busy year. He turned 16 and got his drivers license, a new job at Office Max, and a serious girlfriend. Tyler is taking lessons on the electric guitar. Jenna is one of the top readers in her 1st grade class. We feel very blessed and hope this letter finds you all happy and healthy

Happy Holidays!
I hope the New Year finds everyone well. Our family has just finished moving. We finally have our mini-farm equipped with our three horses, four dogs, one cat, and now seven chickens. It feels like Missouri all over again. We love it. Maggie is 9 and in fourth grade. Maggie keeps busy riding her horse and catching chickens. She likes hunting for eggs. Her goal is to hatch one. Maggie’s a good mother hen. She makes the eggs little cotton beds to help keep them warm. Elizabeth is 12 and in 7th grade. She is enjoying the middle school experience. Elizabeth loves hanging out with friends, riding horses, and singing in her school choir. Her one fear is that she’ll be chased by a headless chicken when her dad decides to have one for dinner. James is still employed at Staker Parsons. He went on his first deer hunt this year. He loves our new farm life. I have a new job. I work at Elk Meadows Elementary with an Autistic Cluster Unit. It’s hard work but I love it. Our big news this year is that we are expecting a new baby at the end of July. Miss and love you all
Love, the Gaulrapps.

It's BLURB TIME!!!! Uuummmmm....... ya lol. Another year, another Christmas it's time to hear what the Leepers are doing! (and Parkinsons, Gaulrapps, Behunins, Howards, Strongs, and Hutton) ha ha. We have had a busy year! David took a job in Colorado so we see him once a week. He is working hard and misses his Hannah!! I am still at Western Neurological Associates in the business office and loving it!! I have been working hard on losing my weight- so far...... 146 lbs lost!!!! (I feel like I’ve lost a friend he he he) Only 28 more lbs to go until I hit my goal!!!!! Good thing I’ve got a GREAT roommate (Sassie Kassie) to keep me motivated! Kassie, Kaleena and I have workout night on Wednesday nights, that is if Ghost Hunters doesn't distract us! Kaleena is my daycare! I love that Hannah gets to play with her cousin Dylan every day- he is her best friend! (and keeps her from asking me for a sibling lol) Well Kassie got a new doggie so Wickett has a friend now during the day. Hannah loves to chase them both up and down the hallways! Well have Happy Holidays!
Love the Behunins' mbehunin04@comcast.net

Hi all. I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. What’s funny is that from Jan. on I’m always thinking about this blurb. Any time something happens with our family I say to myself, “OHHH! I’m going to write that!” But then time goes on and there’s more, “OOO OOO! That’s a good one, too.” Whether it’s been a good year or a trying one I’m grateful for this because I believe it solely serves as a purpose for the Leeper clan to take time to reflect the wonderful times we enjoyed with our families. So by the time I sit down to write this, how do I sum it all up? Well goodbye to 2008, Hello to 2009!

Hi everyone! I am Eric. Most of you know me. I am in 6th grade and 11 years old. I love to read horror books. I am reading the book "Cirque Du Freak" right now. I am on book 4 and just started it. I like to skate and play with my friends. That about sums it all up for now.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Love the Howards


Hi Everyone,
It has been a great year for me and I hope it has been for all of you as well. I am still working at The Local Pages in the Editing department. I love my job and can't believe I've been there for almost 3 years already. On the weekends I am now a Karaoke DJ at the Ritz Bowling Alley. I have a lot of fun and it gives me the opportunity to expand my horizon with different types of music. When I'm not in the office or jammin out at the bowling alley, I spend time at home hanging out with the family or hanging out with friends. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and wish everyone a Happy New Year. Jill
