Brent and Sarah Family Newsletter

Nelson Family Newsletter 2009
Sarah and Brent –
Sarah and Brent celebrated their 3 year Anniversary together. Brent is still working for KB Distributing and just really enjoys driving his Big Rig. Brent helped his Uncle Leon re-build an old car. It’s been a lot of work but he enjoyed every minute of it. This year mom helped us buy a Travel Trailer to go camping in. We took it up the mountain and left it for the summer. He also grew a garden and for the first time we planted potatoes. They were delicious if I might add. We also grew corn and tomatoes and all the other yummy veggies, I don’t know if this was the year for us in gardening. We did have a lot of peaches this year though. We took one Saturday and it was all about bottling them. Needless to say we are so done with peaches. We made homemade Jam to it was really yummy. Sarah recently ended her service on the Head Start Policy Council. She really enjoyed being a part of such a great program. She says it really brought her out of her quiet shell. She also got a job at the SUU Head Start helping as a Lunch Aid. Sarah has really kicked off her Scrapbooking with her Cricut. She has made so many pages now she just has to put pictures on all of them and she will be doing good.

Samuel - Samuel is now 5 and in Kindergarten. His teachers name is Mrs. Werber and he just loves school and is doing very well with Writing, the Alphabet and Counting. Sam is starting Math, he always asks me what 5+5 is and I say I don’t know so he tells us the answer. He is getting so smart. He loves going to school every day. Sam has made a lot of new friends this year in class. He also loves to ride the bus in the morning. He gets mad if mommy takes him to school. This year while Brent has been helping Leon with the car Sam has been going out to play with his cousin Sophie. Can I tell you how much he loves to play with her? We also have been spending a lot of time with Maddysen.
Brian - Brian is now 12 and definitely hitting the teenage years. Please help us lol. He is in the 6th grade and still really enjoys reading. He has joined band this year and is playing the Clarinet. He has really come far with learning to play, we were surprised but he really can play it. He is in a new school this year Canyon View Middle School. He really enjoys it and gets to hang out with MORE of his friends. He still really enjoys Skateboarding and for Christmas he really wants one of those long boards. We will see what (SANTA) brings him.
Makayla - Makayla is 9 and in the 4th grade. She played soccer this fall and just loved playing soccer. She got really good at it. She didn’t really like being goalie she liked running around. She is also learning how to play the piano and getting really good. Makayla is also in a group called First Bloom. She gets to about different Trees and what can be done with them. She really enjoys going to that.

We Love you all and we want to Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas and Earnest the Elf

Hey everyone. I hope everyone is having wonderful Christmas Season. The following pictures are of Earnest the Elf, that comes to visit our family every year in December.He watches the kids and reports to Santa on a nightly basis. He will leave on Christmas Eve until next year, when he returns on December 1st. We caught him the other day getting a cookie out of our cookie jar. What a naughty Elf, but we did call Santa and he said that Earnest was just doing quality control on the cookies and making sure they tasted good. So earnest wasn't in trouble.



















Merry Christmas to everyone!

Jesse and Becky, Sierra, Ethan, Katelyn, Garrett
