Motschiedler Madness
We had a fun-filled month!
Timpsons, not Simpsons
DESH turned
ONE!!!! Wow! So exciting. We had a fun little party for him and he got
to eat his first piece of real cake. And of course, he LOVED it. He's a
happy little guy! He's starting to walk and getting braver every day.
He's now pointing at things when he wants something. He loves pulling
and dropping all of his books off of his shelf every chance he gets. He
loves driving around remote controls, tupperware, books, blocks and the
occasional toy car. He LOVES music and sort of goes into a "bopping"
trance anytime he hears it. We are starting weekly swim lessons today in
hopes that he will overcome his fear of wet hair.
ALLYSON
is busy busy! They always say being a stay at home mom is a lot of
work, but I never really knew how much it until now! I'm loving it. When
Deshy is happily playing by himself or sleeping, I am creating a
website for a friend who represents fashion and jewelry designers in
Australia. I am also busy doing the bookkeeping and overseeing the
management of our apartment complex. I had so much fun planning and
throwing a party for Deshy last month. I went a little crazy. But your
first born only turns '1' once, right??? Check out pictures on our blog:

AND if one blog isn't enough, I've taken on the challenge of a 365 blog
for 2012, which is a picture a day. Check that out here: mottproject365.blogspot.com.
KEN
is busy working and playing with Deshy. He took us to the Cat Haven up
in Dunlap last weekend and we got to see lions and tigers
and...cheetahs! They had leopards and jaguars and some other pretty
amazing kitties. We were standing about 5 feet away from the tiger when
he decided he didn't want the tour guide talking to him and he jumped up
on his hind legs and let out a loud scary roar! I jumped behind Ken and
Deshy broke into tears. It was so cool! If you haven't been, you need
to check it out. Ken is also busy overseeing the work being done at our
apartment complex. We are improving its beauty in hopes of enticing new
tenants! We are also ready for another project and Ken is meeting with
our broker to stat the search all over again for another complex. Can
you say....double the work? Yowzers.
I think that about covers it. See you in April!

Hello Everyone! This message is from the Boggs/Loveland clan.
Mathias is a busy high school senior. He is still taking college credit
classes and working hard. He plays football whenever he gets the
chance, snow or not. He recently was award the Sterling Scholar Foreign
Language for his school and he is taking a cooking class (at least he
will know how to cook a few things). He has started working on his
mission papers and we are excited.
DeeAnn (mom) is working and
beginning to look for more work as hours have been cut for everyone at
the grocery store where she works. She is also trying to figure out if
she can manage to go to school some more and finish a degree! She is
still learning and also enjoying the grand-children (five now). THey
are so cute! Any ideas out there of work DeeAnn could do from home???
Sure do love you all and enjoy hearing news about your lives, sorry to
be so bad at writing myself.
