2014 has been a very busy year. Looking back over the year we did a lot more then I thought....We took a few trips (Scott and I got away 3 times with just the two of us it was nice). We spent our anniversary in Las Vegas, we went to the Wine Festival in Park City with my friend Heidi and her husband Mike and we spent a night in Snowbird for Oktoberfest over my birthday. Scott transferred jobs, he no longer works for Champion he is now working for an environmental company called H2O. They recently moved back to Utah and he is the Manger over the Utah branch. This keeps him very busy and his stress level has been pretty high getting this up and running. I am still working for Corrections and I went back to school this year. I figure I will be paying on student loans for the rest of my life may as well finish my education correct. I am hoping to obtain my Masters Degree. It will be a long hard road but I am in no hurry so I will just take my time and get it done rather then stress out trying to get it quickly.

As a "family" (Kia didn't go on these trips with us and Sadez missed one) we were able to go on 2 trips. We went to Universal Studios Hollywood and to the East Coast. We started our East coast trip in New York and ended in Maine. My brother went with us, and I was able to see a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium. It was AWESOME. My favorite city was Boston. We took a day trip to Hogle Zoo (Aliya's first time at the Zoo). We spent the 4th of July testing out the fire pit I bought 3 years ago and we sold our trailer and Scott's bike and bought a swim spa.

Mersadez and Aliya: Alyia turned 1 this year it's amazing how much she learns everyday and how smart she is. She is a blast to have around even though we call her mini tornado. Her favorite things are Frozen (Olaf) and Princess Sofia. She has everyone wrapped around her finger of course and is a very happy little girl. Mersadez started working full-time this year and it has been an adjustment for her. She still lives at home with us and everyone pitches in to help with Aliya so she can work and try and have a social life. My mom and Kenna are currently babysitting for her.
MaKia is a senior this year and went back to finish school. She is struggling after taking a year off but is confident she will be able to graduate with her class. We are all cheering for her. She has worked a few jobs this year and is currently working and attending school. It is hard on her but she is doing well. She did get to go to her Junior Prom.
McKenna is also a senior and only needs a few credit to graduate. She currently is taking only 6 classes (3 a day) at school and one of them is helping in the preschool at the high school. She enjoys being around the little kids. She babysits Aliya after school and decided Aliya is better then getting a real job so she continues to help Sadez out.
Kaden played football again this year and even was able to play in the Mascot bowl at the High School. He only injured himself about 3 times but it was minor. He is in 8th grade now and like any teenage boy doesn't think school is very cool. He is growing up to fast and soon will outgrow all his sisters :). (in the picture he is on the bottom #85)
