Updates

I have totally neglected our blog for the past few months so here are some updates on what is going on in our lives:

Derek: Got promoted to Battalion Chief and is currently working as the Fire Marshal in Sandy. We are so excited and happy for him! He recently spent 8 days back in Maryland at the National Fire Academy and had a great time meeting firefighters from other states. He's also still working for AirMed (usually on the weekends) so needless to say he is working a lot. I know at times he feels like he is being pulled in a million different directions, but he never complains. I am thankful to have such a great husband.

Jannette: Derek and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary next month. We have also planned a trip to Cancun in April with some great friends. We are so excited and I am really looking forward to being in the warm sun and laying on the beach!
It has been a great year but at times has been a really hard year for me. I guess you could say a roller coaster of emotions for us. Most of you know that we struggle with fertility and that we have had 2 miscarriages this past year. We are just trying to figure out at what point do you say enough is enough?? I have taken several rounds of fertility medications and have had no luck. I wish sometimes I could just have an answer either way. It is hard to make a final decision without having later regrets. I am so thankful for our 2 boys and I know how lucky we are to have been able to have them. We just take it month to month and I know that what is meant to happen will happen and in the long run it will all work out the way that it is supposed to.
I am currently serving as the RS activity leader and love it!!

Colton: Is growing up fast and is full of life, I cannot believe he will be 7 this summer. He loves school and is doing really well!! He likes being with his friends and would play every minute if we let him. He has such a great imagination and loves to dress up in costumes like (Mario, Dog the bounty hunter, and Link)and pretend. Colton is such a great big brother to Caleb!

Caleb: Is potty trained: Yea! He still has to wear a pull up at night because he does have accidents at night. He learned really fast, it took 2 days. He loves to draw trains & rockets and ride his scooter. Caleb is such a happy little boy and I am so grateful that he has such a happy attitude all the time. He loves trains and Micky Mouse! I am having a hard time believing that he will already start preschool this summer. Where does the time go?
