O MY GOODNESS......Where did time go???

So once again life has ran away with us! Summer ended, Football and school then consumed us, no football has ended (a sad thing for us), and now we are running into the Holidays!

We had a fun Halloween, the kids are doing pretty good---some like school and some DON'T!!! But they are going and doing the best that they can.

Devin is playing the Clarinet and doing actually really well with it. He is the typical "teenager" and technically isn't one yet!! He did a great job playing football this year and has been doing some funs things at school.

Aaron has had some challenges this year, but we sure do love him with all our hearts. He was such a brave kid and spent a week being evaluated to help us determine how to best help him. Aaron has moved to Kristie's (his mom) house in West Jordan to hopefully be able to be successful in all areas. They have some great schools that can meet his special education needs and hopefully will be able to help him excel. Kristie and Chris (her fiance) are able to give Aaron some of the individual attention that he requires and we know will be good for him. Of course we are sad that we will not have him with us as much, but feel that it is what will be in his best interest and will see him as much as we can.

Travis has had a tremendous year! He has matured and grown so much. He loved football and worked so hard to do the best that he could. School this year has been nothing but good reports of grades and behavior. We are so proud of him.

Payson is always a ham and keeps us laughing with his Lady GaGa dancing. He has a little crush on her (I am WORRIED!!) He is struggling a little with his reading and gets frustrated, but he is trying which is all we can ask of him. This was his first year of football and hated everybit of it----yet he keeps telling me that he can't wait until next year????!!!!

Bekah has become a little diva. She has lots of friends and loves being the center of attention. She is doing well in school and really likes it. She cut her hair short (to be "like mom" but we aren't sure which one lol maybe both of us) and to looks way cute---at least I think so. Doing her hair in the morning is a lot easier at least!

Lexie Lou is our glue. She has such a fun personality and keeps us smiling. She is however SO my stubborn child. Yes I take full responsibility for it. But she also is independent and strong willed which I will also take credit for :-) Best of all she is also almost potty trained!!

Evan is hanging in there.....work has kept him busy and more away then we would like. He continues to be a great dad and works hard for us.

Me....CRAZY as ever....running the kids, my business, and school....sleep is optional

Love you all!!

May Update....Ok...JUNE update

Well the month flew away with me again. Not to much going on here. We are counting the days until dad get home and trying to get done with school. We got to have a great Easter break where we got to enjoy some sunshine. We also got to go to the Living Farm in Logan where the kids got to enjoy the animals.

March MADNESS!

Ok Ok.....I am not doing well keeping up on this and many have requested an update so here it is...

My kids totally rock it! They have all been doing so well and dealing with mom trying to finish the last month of school, opening up a new business, and being a little (well maybe A LOT!) grumpy. Each of them are making progress in their personal goals and I am proud of each of them.

This month I got to go to San Diego to be with Brett and Jenni as they became an eternal family. I am so very proud of them! Devin got to ride with my dad and spend some time away from the family craziness. Thanks dad and DeEtte for being so good to him!

Business is slowly but surely growing. We are getting some direction on what we want to accomplish and it feels good. We have some exciting things happening the next couple of months so check out the new listing on the website (http://www.positiveimpactut.com/).

Attached a few pictures for your entertainment!!

How many Belew's does it take to hang a clock??

Family Update

What a CRAZY 2009 we have already had! Kids are busy at school and doing pretty good. I opened my office up this month and I am proud to say that I still have hair! We miss Evan terribly and are counting down the days until his return.

I posted some pictures from Molly's wedding below. The kids were SO cute!!! Check Lexie out....she LOVED being "pretty".

I am slowly working on my office webpage....check it out at www.positiveimpactut.com and give me some feedback! I need it because I really really need this business to work :-)

December Events

It is amazing how fast time flies! I have not posted anything since Evan left and now I am SO far behind. The slide show is a very short view of what we did this month. Evan left the weekend after Thanksgiving for his deployment, the boys had a FABULOUS school event that they were able to show off all of the many things that they have been learning, Aaron had a birthday, then Lexie had a birthday, we got to go to the Earl Christmas party, I gave my two weeks notice and started the process of opening the new office, sadly Grandma Knight (Evan's grandmother) past away the weekend before Christmas so we had a funeral for a wonderful lady, and then the exciting Christmas day came!! WOW! Very short overview!!! All in the kids have been doing really well, Evan is staying safe, I am venturing into a new world of business which I am scared to death and completely excited about all at once, and our family is so amazingly blessed. Thank you for being a part of our life!

Our Family Vacation

We were lucky enough to go to California the week before Evan left. Our family got to visit Brett's home (for a VERY short time) and then spent 3 FUN filled days at Disneyland. Evan and I were at the last minute get a good deal on tickets so we were able to take the kids as a surprise and early Christmas gift. The kids had a lot of fun and it was great to see them enjoying time with Evan. Not without saying I came back needing to go on a Vacation!!

Birthday Fun

We had a great birthday party for all of the kids on Saturday. Thanks to those who were able to make it and those that sent well wishes!! The kids had fun and felt special.....they were SO much fun to watch!

Child Labor

I don't understand why there is such high childlabor laws.......

Lexie does great work!

Happy Birthday TRAVIS!!

Today Travis turns 9. We just wanted to let him know how much we love him. He tries so hard to do his best and he continues to surprise us. He is too smart for his own good and has endless potential. We look forward to watching him grow and change!!!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Love,
Your family

Halloween Night

We had a GREAT Halloween night! The kids had fun and got way more candy then they will ever need. Hope that all of you had a good time.

Almost forgot....

Bekah reminded me that she and I went and did something "crafty" this week. She wants everyone to see what we did.......

Lyndsey had a get together at her house to make scarfs. Bekah saw it on her blog and "had" to go, so I sucked it up and we went. You all know that my "creative" bone is broken so doing anything hands on for me always gets a little sticky. But it was very very easy to do and Bekah ended up with a very cute scarf and some pink hair pieces!

Halloween fun

Halloween weekend fun

This weekend we kept very busy with a lot of fun activities (Evan is leaving Sunday for a two week training and we wanted him to be able to do as much as possible with them). Friday night we went to the North Ogden pumpkin walk. There were some fun pumpkins and a "haunted forest"....the kids really liked it. On Saturday we went to the Boo Fun on base where the kids got to dress up in their costumes and trick or treat along with doing some fun activities. After that we joined the Datus's, Kristie, and Mandy at Thanksgiving Points Cornbelly's event. The kids had a blast! They got to get lost in a corn maze, see pig races, ride a cow train, do peddle races, jump on a "pillow", slide on large slides, shot paintball guns, do a corn thrower, and more that I can't remember. The adults were exhausted, lol! Enjoy the pictures.......

We had a fun weekend with lots of events.....

We went to a pumpkin patch, carved the pumpkins that we picked, and then I had to show you how adorable Lexie was today at church!! She is getting SO big!
