New Year... New Beginnings!

Happy New Year!

My Wish for You in 2008
May peace break into your house
May thieves come and steal all your debts.
May your pockets become a magnet for $100 bills.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline.
May laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell only of success.
May happiness slap you across the face.
May your tears be only those of joy.
May the problems you had in 2007 forget where you live!
May 2008 be the best year of your life !
Lets Make 2008 GREAT!

2007 Family Christmas Letter


Happy Holidays Family and Friends,

It is that time of season again. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. We have added a collage of images from this year so you can see what we have been up to this Year. We also want to take this time to wish you and your family, best wishes and holiday cheer this Christmas Season.

Steve is still working with Clinton City as their City Planner. It has been a challenging Year, Clinton has several projects and changes and so it has kept Steve very busy. But he loves it, and is very happy that he made the move. He is just now waiting on the new Office building to be finished so he can have his own Office. It has been a great move for him and he loves it. Our Ward was split and since the split Steve was called to be the 11 year old Scout Master and him and C.J. and the boys have been loving it. (it is testing his patience) But he is so good for the boys and the program has not been run so well before so everyone is just pleased as punch. Steve has been a great help to me and the kids. I am so grateful to have been blessed with such a wonderful Man.

Sherrelle is home from Rock Springs Wyoming, She has been home since just before Summer, and I think she is happy to be back closer to Family. She misses her friends in Wyoming but she has found several new friends since she has been back. She has been dating a young Man for several months now, His Name is Trent and he lives in Weber county and needless to say they are together every night of everyday. She is Happy!

Kaeslyn is busy busy, she is the Mia-Maid Pres since she became a mia-mad and loves serving those around her. She is still playing Soccer and this last fall season she made the High School Soccer Team as a 9th Grader. She was the starting Forward for the JV team. They did pretty good. She is currently playing Indoor with several girls and is loving it. She is still playing Violin, she is 2nd Violin 2nd Chair and next Term she will be 1st Violin 2nd Chair so she has really grown as a Violinist, for her last concert she also was asked to direct one of the songs, she did really good and kept everyone right on beat. She is still quite the performer.

C.J and Keegan are doing great they are growing leaps and bounds, C.J is in 6th grade this year and I am not sure MOM is ready for him to go into Jr. High next year. But He is loving school, and we are so blessed that he has had the wonderful teachers he had, they have played a big part in why he loves school so much. He also still loves baseball but this year he tried Football and even with his Tall thin 72 lb frame he was out there playing his heart out, he played line backer and tried really heard to find those holes. He held his own even though he was up against boys that were 20 lbs to 30 lbs heavier then him. But sadly he broke his leg at the end of the season and was out the last 3 games. But he was on the sidelines cheering his team on. His cast is off now and he is doing fine and is looking forward to playing again next year. Keegan is doing so good he is quite the Soccer Player; it was like a light turned on. I think he is taking after his Dad, he had 6 or 7 goals this year and He also played goalie and saved to many to count. He loves Soccer and is looking forward to playing again next spring. He loves music and singing as well. They both are all boy and love there older sisters very much to.

I am at home, I have been watching a couple of kids every day, but mostly have been working to grow my business that I have, It has really made a difference in my life, I love it. This card you are holding is what I do.. I help people send Greeting Cards like this one. I went to Our Corporate Conference this year in SLC and it was awesome My Mom came with me and we had a blast, I am also involved in a local networking group called BNI and I was asked to be the Secretary/Treasurer and it has been great. I love working and getting to know the wonderful people that is involved. And working with people to build Relationships has been very rewarding. Both have been keeping me busy, My Health has been pretty good, I have only had small flares from the Lupus and I have been able to manage. I know that I have been blessed and watched over, the Lord has been there every step of the way.. And to know that I have an incredible Husband, Kids and Family to support and help this last year it has been great. As you can read we are all doing great and have been very blessed this year. We are so grateful for the gospel and what this time of season means. We hope you will be blessed this upcoming year, and hope that you have a wonderful Holiday Season and Happy New Year!

Love The Parkinson Family
