Our Christmas Letter for 2009

I am not going to lie and say this has not been the craziest and hardest year ever. We have been faced with many different trials this year, but we still are so thankful for our trials and the strength that we have received from them. As most of you know we sold our house back in September when Adam decided to go back to school to become a Radiation Control Technician. We were sad to leave our ward and all the friends that we had made in the last two years, but we are so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us. We are currently living with my mom while Adam recovers and finishes school.

Adam- I am currently going to school studying radiation safety and will be finishing up in May. I currently work at a senior living community as a marketing director, my second day on the job a ladder slipped out from under me and I fell two stories and broke my back. I have been recovering slowly but I’m so thankful I can still walk. I enjoy spending time with my family every second and I look forward to what this New Year will bring especially getting back out on the golf course.

Genessa- Wow this has been a crazy year but we count our blessings everyday that Adam is still with us and he has use of his legs. I am keeping myself very busy. I work at Dance Tech 4 hours a week teaching a cheer and tumbling class, I could not ask for a better job. I have also been watching my little nephew Creed on Tuesday’s and Wednesdays, and he is such a great baby. I have also recently picked up Photography, I have always really enjoyed it but I can honestly say that now that I have nice camera I LOVE IT! If you follow my blog you will see what I mean!

Bridger- This boy is growing like crazy. I can’t even express in words how blessed we are to have this little man in our life. I am trying so hard to get that little string that is wrapped right around my finger to loosen just a little. Bridger amazes me every day at the different things that he picks up. His vocabulary has grown immensely since he turned one. He will try to say anything that you ask him to say, sometimes it is hard to understand but he tries so hard. He is really into running laps around the table. Not just a couple either, more like 50-60 laps. Bridger also really enjoys watching movies. He skips around from Wall-e, Cars, Nemo, Puppy(Bolt), Monsters and up. We thank our Father in Heaven everyday for sending us this special little spirit.

Bronco- We just found out that Bronco has Lymphoma and he is dying. So this will be our last Christmas with him. This has been one of the hardest things that I have had to try to accept. Bronco is one of the best dogs out there. He has brought so much happiness into our lives. I am so sad that Bridger is not going to be able to grow up with him. I think that is one of the hardest things. Bridger absolutely adores him. He calls him Bapo. I know that the lord has his hand in all things and that Bronco will be well taken care of. It is just so hard accepting that and letting Bronco go. We are grateful to have gotten to partake of Bronco's special spirit and can't wait until the day that he will be our eternal DOG!

Well I hope that you have enjoyed all the updates from this year. It has been a great, but crazy year. We love each one of you and are so grateful to have you as Family and Friends. We are so grateful for the Lord in our lives and for the perfect example he has set for us. It is because of him that we have the chance to be an eternal Family. We are so grateful for all the prayers and comments that were made in our behalf while Adam was recovering. Thanks again for all the love and support each one of you have shown.

Merry Christmas Love Adam, Genessa, Bridger, and Bronco

Family pictures

I am not sure if anyone would be interested but I really need some practice on my new camera before my next class in January.
If you are interested please leave a comment and we can figure out a time. You can choose where we go. I will put them all on a cd and edit a couple for you. I will shoot as long as needed to get some good pictures. I am going to charge 20.00 just to cover the cd's and time.

Sad News

I can tell you that when it rains it pours for our family.I am trying to find the right words to say. I will start off by saying you never realize how much you take someone for granted when you find out that you are going to lose them. It has been one of the hardest weekends in awhile. We found out Friday that Bronco has Lymphoma and he is dying. This has been one of the hardest things that I have had to try to accept.
Bronco is one of the best dogs out there. He has brought so much happiness into our lives. I am so sad that Bridger is not going to be able to grow up with him. I think that is one of the hardest things. Bridger absolutely adores him. He calls him Bapo. I know that the lord has his hand in all things and that Bronco will be well taken care of. It is just so hard accepting that and letting Bronco go. We are grateful to have gotten to partake of Bronco's special spirit and can't wait until the day that he will be our eternal DOG!
















Here are the things that I love about Bronco.

He is the best dog!
Very well trained and listened most of the time.
Very good with Bridger.
A very good protector.
He loved almost everyone(there are a few that he does not like)
He smiles!
He is truly a dog that you can call a mans best friend.



















He will be greatly missed. He will be a part of our family forever.































































We love you Bronco!

I take more photos then I could ever know what to do with, so I try to go through and pick out my favorites. These are just a few from the last couple of days.


This would be Bridger in the bath this morning. I turned my head for a second and he decided that he needed his blanket so it bathed with him!













Bridger does not like the automatic car washes. He gets very worried.

These are all the photos for now. I am sure there will be a lot more to come.

Thanksgiving

We had such a great Thanksgiving. It is so nice to be around family. This year we had the chance to go to two houses and then for a visit to Adam's dads house. It was a busy, but fun day with excellent food.













I have so much to be thankful for this year..

1-A great family. I have no idea where our lives would be with out them. I love them more and more each day. They have been so supportive through all our trails.



















2. The Wonderful support from everyone around us.













3. It has been a rough year for our family but we still count our blessings everyday.







































4.My wonderful hot red-bearded husband. Oh I can't even thank this man enough for all he does for our family. I will just say that I love him more and more each day.













5. Wonderful in-laws. Oh I love them.



















6. My adorable little boy. He can always make me smile.













7. My adorable dog Bronco. He has been such a good dog. I am going to miss him so much!














8. I love Black Friday..I love getting up early and seeking great deals.
9. I love the church and the blessings and callings that I receive from it.
10. Most of all I love my Savior Jesus Christ. He is the reason why I am here and the reason why I am so thankful for everything around me. I am so thankful for him and for his sacrifice.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS

This would be Brandon's baby that he went to Walmart to pick up really early. Adam and Brandon actually enjoyed going out on Black Friday! I think I have got me some gofers. HAHA!
This is the one thing that Brandon missed from the marriage. The LCD TV!













My mother and I picked up some DVD Players from Target. 88.00 Oh yea!








I made Adam pick up
some Cricuts to sell on ebay!

Taking Lots of Random Pictures

Well I find myself taking pictures of everything. I am still trying to learn more about my camera and the things that it can do. I have been trying to figure out the settings of Aperture Priority mode and all the other settings that go a long with taking specific photos. It is amazing the things that you can do with a great camera. On another side not, I do not have to edit photos as much either! These photo's are all just out of my camera!

I can't wait for Thanksgiving this year. The holiday's are going to be so much fun with Bridger. I can't beleive how much he learns and grows everyday. Adam is continuing to do well and is recovering pretty fast. As fast as you can I guess! He has been very good at stopping the car when I tell him that I need to take a picture. Well that is all that is going on in our life. Only 6 more months until Adam is done with school!

To those who serve...

Thanks for all you and your families do. It is because of the choices that you made to serve our Nation we are free.

Whats new

Well nothing much is new at our house. Still doing the same old thing.

I am still working at Dance Tech and I am loving it. It is a perfect job for me. I work 4 hours a week doing what I love.

Adam is doing well. He is still in the recovery process and we are taking things one day at a time. He goes to the Doctor this week so we will see how he is healing up. What a year it has been I can't believe that it is almost over. I hope that this year will be a little better for us. Adam is done with school in April or May and then he will do implant training if he does not get a job. Then after that I guess we will see where life will take us.

Bridger is CRAZY! That is the perfect word for him. Oh I do love him so much but he is all boy. I can't imagine my life any other way. He is progressing and learning so much so fast. It amazes me the new things that he comes up with everyday. He show you all the characters from cars if you ask him which one is which. He will say just anything that you ask him to say also. Sign Language has been such a life saver though, it really helps me to understand what he wants.


So this last week we had a new experience. I went and got my really early Christmas present at the Perfect light store with my Mother n Law Barbara. We took the camera out so we could look at it so I locked all the doors in my car. As we were leaving I shut the last door forgetting that it was locked and my keys were in the car. So there was Bridger locked in the car with the keys. I was telling him to get the keys and he kept yelling no. So I had to call the Police to send someone to unlock my car. WOW! That was so embarrassing.

Sunday we had the chance to go to Creed's baby blessing.






































I have been playing around with my camera so I have a lot of random pictures. I am using it on Auto until my Photo class next week. I am loving it so far. I would recommend it to anyone.
