OK.... For starters.... I have to say this has been a very fun year! A lot has happened and the kids have grown up sooo much!
Kylie just turned 11 and is in the 5th grade.. and middle school for the first time. She is really enjoying being in such a "grown up" school. She loves her class, her teacher, Mrs. Holman, and being able to be in orchestra for the first time. She is learning the violin so she can "be mom's fiddle player someday!" Loreen loves the sound of that! Kylie still loves to read and is Loreen's big helper! She still loves to sing and has been enjoying clogging again this year.
Julaine is 8 and is in 3rd grade. A highlight of the year for her was being baptized! She was even asked to talk about it during the Primary Program this year. She loves to read, draw, loves horses, and enjoys playing with her siblings. She is a beautiful singer and when Loreen can talk her into it, she will sing for others. She is also taking clogging and is doing wonderfully!
Jaren is also 8 and in the 3rd grade. He was also asked to speak about his baptism for the Primary program and ended up having the whole thing memorized! He loves being in scouts and making things. He is an inventor by heart and is always doing and creating new things. He loves reading and playing with friends and family. He also loves animals and has been begging us for a dog for years. He loves going out to the dairy with Tim and playing with all the animals, especially the horses and the goats.
Logan is 3 and has recently started Pre School, which he loves! He feels so grown up. He is so funny and silly and, like his older brother, loves telling jokes. He always makes his little sister smile and gets the biggest hugs. He is mommies big helper and always does what he is asked. He is very independent and loves being able to do things for himself.
Kiora is almost 18 months old! And wow has time flown! She is running around like crazy and giving hugs to her older siblings. She is happy, smiley, and so friendly with everyone. She loves music and dancing and has definitley got rhythm! She loves carrying things around and is curious about everything. It is fun seeing her strong personality growing and refining... I think we are up for her challenge! Sweet yet strong!
Loreen is keeping busy with five kids, teaching voice lessons, and still performing when she can. The kids have definitely dropped the number of Loreen's performances and songwriting, but the kids are definitely worth it! Loreen has also been busy helping to raise money to restore The Hinckley Academy, a historic building in Hinckley, in hopes to bring a community theatre back to the area, as well as a private school. They are still working on it, but as the current owner hasn't been very willing to drop his atrociously high price, things are going slowly. While financial backing is growing the beautiful building is slowly crumbling into disrepair, locals hearing rumors the owner is just going to tear it down, and Loreen is saddened to see such selfishness in people when others want to better communities! Meanwhile, Loreen has been working with the local 4-H office and is starting up a 4-H Theatre Club in January! Loreen is also enjoying her church Young Women's Music calling. Loreen and Tim have shared their love of the water with the rest of the kids and they are all little fish! Loreen loved spending time on the reservoir with her family and watching them enjoy the water as much as she loves it. The beach visit this year was even funner, but isn't always as accessible and she appreciates living so close to water! :)
Tim is still enjoying the stresses of the dairy :) and hopes things are going to starting looking up. He is a hard worker and makes his family proud with all that he does for them. He has been busy fixing up the house and yard in the Springs and Summers and has more on the to do list coming up. Houses are never ending money pits it seems! We are enjoying all the hard work though and love our home and big beautiful yard! A home theatre has been a favorite project of his and he looks forward to finishing. Sounds and screens are great, but Tim is one that likes to add touches like star ceilings and wall murals! Tim loves to read, enjoys movies and spending time with the family. He is a great example to his scouts at church!
This year has been full of fun travels, visits with family, and enjoyable moments. We are loving the season of CHRISTmas and pray we will all remember the real reason for the season. We hope this holiday season brings peace to your soul and will be a blessing in your lives in the year to come. We love you all!!
Love,
Tim, Loreen, Kylie, Julaine, Jaren, Logan, and Kiora Bliss
