2011 - Happy New Year!
What a wonderful and especially blessed Christmas we all had! We all got more than we need or deserve but how happy we are that Santa thought differently! Darrell bought me a new All-in-One touch screen computer which I am using now. He was estatic to open up his new flat screen TV on Christmas morning. He was quite amazed and hasn't been able to turn it off since!
Kanyon and Carson both got I-touches, new video games, and a new XBOX 360. Quite a tech year at the Smart's house this year.
We are happy to welcome in the year 2011 year. With the new year we have celebrated one birthday (ME!) already. What a lucky girl I am to have three such wonderful guys in my life. They treated me to cake and ice cream and gifts. What a great celebration.
Kanyon had his first Rougher competitive basketball game last Saturday night. They lost by three points but he made an awesome save while the ball was bouncing out of bounds. By hoisting his body through the air, grabbing the ball and throwing it back into play and skidding out of bounds himself. Very impressive.
Carson sat out of sports this winter after his Upward Basketball league finished up in Nov. But, not to worry, he is signing up for baseball this month.
Both boys are doing extremely well in school this year with straight A's on both report cards. Carson is reading on a second grade level and math on a third grade level. Kanyon loves 5th grade and thinks his teacher this year is awesome. His class read Where the Red Fern Grows this year and we heard that he cried at the end of the book. He's such a sensitive sweetheart.
We have a had househunters view our house but still no offers. We have faith (most days) that it will happen when its supposed to but, my goodness! The wait is well, not what we had hoped for. We are so excited to have more room to spread out and for the boys to have their own bedrooms. But, all in good time I suppose.
We hope you all find yourselves in good health and eager to take on the new year with new expectations and adventures.
Blessings to all,
The Smart's
