The Fresno B's

Hey Family!!

So... november was interesting-ish. Marching season is over except for the christmas day parade, concert season is started, and my trumpet is freezing whenever i play it. i'm glad more trees are finally getting the memo about it being December and that their leaves are supposed to be falling off. we went to utah over thanksgiving, and had a good time at a family dinner but i missed turkey bowl. *sad face* ...and the cinimon rolls... my grandma on my mom's side was sealed on black friday to her brother-in-law (dont worry, her sister died about 7-10 years ago) so now all of my mom's cousins from that line are now her siblings... i feel sorry for the family history people working on that part of the family... :) our stake choir festival is on the 12th at 6:00 or 6:30 at the fresno stake center on cedar between bullard and barstow. feel free to come and bring a friend. :) i can't wait to see all of you peoples at the Boggs Christmas Breakfast. i hope yo are preparing lots of good food :) i have been hungry all the time lately. i blame it on the way im growing in hight... anyway, the food is alwys good :) See you all soon!

Happy Holidays! I hope you all get your christmas wishes as i wish to get mine.

Snow Flurry
Elodey (19 months) is the sweetest child ever! She is mostly calm and content and happy with whatever is going on. She is at that age where she gets into everything. She likes to get the cereal out of the cupboard and sit behind the couch and eat it. Then she dumps it out on the floor. After we clean that up she likes to get the pans out of the cupboard and leave them everywhere in the kitchen. Then she enjoys getting games out of the game closet and playing with them ALL at the same time! She also gets a kick out of pulling all the pillows of the couches, taking the CD's out of our 50 disk CD player, writing all over her hands with markers (better than the walls), and trowing all the clothes out of the laundry baskets onto the floor. Since all the Christmas stuff is up now her new favorite is to un-decorate the tree. But she is just so cuddly and cute. Right now she is sitting next to me on the couch, sucking her thumb, and watching what everyone is doing. I think I have to watch out for her.

Charly (3) is LOVING preschool. She is learning to read. She can read a few words, just by sight, like "I", "am", "not", "this", "is", "the", etc. She is the most girly girl ever! When I was pregnant with her I was insistent on NOT having EVERYTHING be pink. She is totally opposite. She LOVES pink, princesses and puppies. She always has to wear something pink. She is always wearing a pink flower in her hair, and if she can, she wears a dress. She loves to play with her sister and is a great helper by re-decorating the tree.

Quinten (5) also loves preschool. He is reading now and thinks it's the most awesome thing. He loves his sisters and just think they are wonderful. He does get jealous that they get to do things like share a room and have a bunk bed. He keeps telling me that I need to have another baby and it needs to be a boy so he can have someone to share a room with. He is taking a kind of music class that he is really enjoying. They learn things like what a major scale looks like, how to hear the different instruments in music, and different cords all by playing and singing. It's really fun. He is really a good helper and will usually jump up and do anything I ask him to. I love his positive attitude.

I am loving taking care of my kidos. My days consist of cleaning up Elodey's messes, taking kids to and from preschool, and the usual cooking and house chores. Now that Christmas is getting close I have several other projects that I would like to complete such as sewing festive pillow covers for the couch pillows, finishing the Christmas Tree Skirt I started making last year, and making and afghan for a special someone for Christmas. And then there is the usually holiday baking and gifts for teachers and neighbors. Any ideas? I am a nursery leader in my ward. We have just started taking the kids to Primary so they can get used to sitting there when the new year rolls around.

Mike is working for Sara Lee. He is a bread vendor. So he gets up early in the morning to deliver all the bread to the stores and restaurants. He really likes his job. He is also the Sunday School president in our ward. He is currently focused on getting the teachers and the classes figured out for next year. He has also started a teacher development class that ALL the teachers in the ward take turns going to. He turned 29 this year and is doing all he can to enjoy "the last year of his youth".
