Snow cones anyone?
You poor snowed in people...heehee. I'm ready for the beach baby!! WOOHOO! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Things are going well here. It's actually pretty warm for the winter down here and the locals are complaining. It's funny that we leave UT and then it has the best ski season in15 yrs. At least that is what I've heard. I so don't miss shoveling driveways or scraping snow off the windshield.
Mom and dad are going to San Fran next weekend. The new Bingham debate coach is flying him out to surprise the debaters at the tournament. So I get to get some mommy practice time. :) Cody and Josie are doing very well. Josie received her first straight A report card. Cody also received a 4.0. He does very well in school and is excelling in all of his classes. Josie started softball practice today and I think her first game is in March...I think. She is still in dance for now, but is planning on dropping that after her recital so that she can pick up soccer. She is so sporty. :) Cody is still playing with his soccer team and is doing well. The kids are changing SO much. Sometimes I can't believe it. Mom had a little break in work this last week and she is afraid that Feb won't be as good of a month as others. Dad is teaching hard and doing a darn good job with it. He picked up contacts this week. It's funny to hear his stories about trying to put the contacts in. LOL. He makes us giggle like crazy.
Jake and I are doing well. Jake's work has been a little bit of a pain though...When he was hired on the told him that his review would come up in November and that they would give a raise that was close, if not equal to, what he was making in UT. November came and they informed him that the company had put a freeze on all raises until the beginning of the next year. So he waits...January comes! The company tells everyone that they bought out their sister company and are expanding. Jake's boss tells him he is leaving and that he wants Jake and another person to take over his job duties. Boss man goes to his boss. Boss man comes back to Jake and let him know that they are shutting down the branch that they work in and everyone being split up and moved to other locations. Jake is now in the new location. His new boss wants to train him for on-sight printing. This means they will send Jake to an engineering firm and architecture firm and have him print there. Which could be nice. Jake asks his boss about his raise that he's owed and new boss man says...wait for it..."Paperwork is all crazy from the move. Once we get everything sorted out we'll talk to you about a raise." *Sigh* So we wait. I've been busy for once. I signed up for an online scoping course to help me learn more about my software and so that I can pick up a client. I get everything together I get set up and then my current client actually gets really busy and I don't have any time to do more than the first 2 lessons. But on the bright side, I've made more money this month than I have ever made. :) That is nice. I'm supposed to have a break next week so I can really focus on school. That is very good because once I'm done with school and I get established with another client, then Jake and I are going to try for a baby. I want to be a mom now. I'm ready for that big step. I just need to get my things in order.
Jake and I are also planning on flying down to UT for next Christmas. We looked at our finances and figured that with our tax returns we will so be able to make it down.
Remember, if you ever get tired of snow and need a break come on down to sunny FL and we'll all go to the parks and the beach! I love you all and miss you terribly.

C'Mon!
It's pretty sad that it has been over a month since the last post! Hope you guys had a beautiful Christmas(I'm sure you did with the weather). We had a good one it was nice to see Charlotte and the kids:) We took them sledding and boy did they have fun, they didn't even get cold but Charlotte said when they got back to Arizona they appreciated 60 degree weather. Isn't that funny, my kids would be swimming in 60 degrees if I would let 'em!LOL! Anyway, I think I would have enjoyed layin' on the beach too, that wouldn't be so bad:) So what was every ones favorite gift? How is everyone? What are you guys into now? We finally got back into BMX (indoor of course) for the first time Sat. He qualified to the main and came in 5th out of 6. Not bad for not doing it for four months! Zach's looking forward to getting back into it. It's held at the equestrian park, in south Jordan, during the winter. They build it up every weekend and tear it down on Sun. for the horses during the week, CRAZY! Kelsea is o.k. with school but loves going for the social purpose of course. Brady is getting back on the drums and Conner, well he's content with a pad of paper and crayons. Ryan's still crazy busy with work, which is a good thing. I'm getting better at the whole being home thing, which is good Ryan surprised everyone on Christmas with Lagoon season passes! So now I'm home we will be able to go alot!!! My back is doing much better, still go to the chiropractor three times a week but only two more weeks of that! Love and miss you!!! Kisses and hugs love, -Lynnette-

Christmas upon us
I can't believe it's December...and not just because it was 80 degrees when we went to get our tree today...we were all in shorts and tanks, flip-flops. So it's going to be a struggle to get into the spirit this first year (though Stan reminded me it was that way in Hawaii as well). We pulled out all the X-mas decorations we can find and bought some new ones. We'll start hitting the tunes pretty hard (just short of making Stan and Jake crazy) and we'll try not to snigger as we sing "let it snow" and "the weather outside is frightful." We missed everyone over Thanksgiving; it just wasn't the same.
The kids are doing great and very excited for approaching birthdays. Josie is pumped to be entering the double digits. She's having a little party for a few friends and we're going to see "Enchanted"....very fun, right?
Stan and I did the Space Coast last week. It was hatefully hot; we were pitifully slow; I'm anticipating I will lose three toenails...most yet. But we finished, right? And it counts toward the 25...and that's all I'm going to say about it...though I will continue to sulk in private.
Is Charlotte going to be in SL for X-mas? If not, I'll ship Kole's...or Kyle's (whichever one we have) gift to Phoenix. Lynnette, I'm going to send Talon's to you, is that okay?
Anyway, just wanted to tell everyone how much we love and miss you all.

Frost Shock!!!!!!!!
Hello mi familia!!! I miss you all so much. Thanksgiving is upon us and I can't help but feel a little down. It can be hard being so far away. I'm very thankful for my family and friends in Utah. I'm also thankful for my family and friends here in Florida. Not to mention very thankful for my husband (he's had to put up with me. LOL). My good health is also something to be thankful for.
How is everyone doing these days? Things are going well here. I haven't had a lot of work from my court reporter and I really want to go to school soon so I can get another client. With all that in mind my dad and I had a talk and he suggested that I look for an online scoping and editing course and I found one that sounds awesome and has had some rave reviews! It will only cost me $2325, but you get a lot out of the course and they are really in depth with their modules. If I feel that I don't get enough from their editing course then I can take a proofreading course through another site that only costs $330. If you add that all up it is cheaper then one year of school at a college. Then I can become a partner in my mom's company and I can get some more clients. Not to mention expand the company. I've very excited to be able to have the opportunity to do this.
Jake is doing well. Just waiting on his raise now. We are very excited because his mother will be flying down for Christmas this year. We are still running and we are running a family fun run with everyone tomorrow morning. We are also going to run a 5k in December. It feels so great to get out and do something together.
The fam is doing well. Cody and Josie are loving their week off. Can you believe that they get the whole week off for Thanksgiving here? I think that is awesome. To celebrate Jake took Monday off of work and we went kayaking with the family. We saw three big gators! It was AWESOME!!! We also saw a LOT of turtles. We want to go camping there sometime soon.
Ma has been uber busy with her clients. Pa is doing well. They are both resting and getting ready for the Space Coast Marathon that they are running on Saturday. Then they have one at the end of December and one in January... Yeah, they are crazy! LOL.
Well, I'm off to play some more WOW before dinner. I love you all terribly and miss you like crazy!!! Give hugs and kisses to everyone.

Cuppycake
Oh my gosh! Have you guys heard the song Cuppycake, if not you need to get on youtube.com and search for Cuppycake, click on the pic of the lil' girl it says"The original cuppycake video" I thought it was soooooo cute!
With Thanksgiving coming up I just want you to know how very thankful I am for a family like we have. A lot of people don't have a family as close as ours, and would die to! I love and miss you all!
