Brenda and Brian Snow Family Update

Dallin, Kassidy, Austin

Brooklyn, Brian, Brenda, Jordan

 

Life in the home of Snow, this past year has been full of stuff I am sure.....my purse is empty and the kids are growing up way to fast! The house gets cleaned only to get messy. Money earned only to be spent. Food bought than gone. (Did I mention they were growing? I don't think boys can ever really be "full" !) This past year Kassidy graduated from High School and from Dental assisting school (although still looking for a job in the field) moved out and is now living with Aunt Ramona and Uncle Devin, and loving it.

Austin is  a junior in High School this year, and also this year has become the tallest person in our family. (Much to his delight) He worked this past summer at 7Peaks Water Park to earn some spending money & to save. He is now on the JV Ballroom team at school and loving it ! Taking new art classes and draws all the time.

Dallin is now in 8th grade. And just passed Brian in height. (Hoping to catch up to Austin) This past summer Dallin was able to earn a little money as well through mowing lawns for some neighbors. Dallin will also help Brian in fixing boats and is good to help that way. He still enjoys baseball and did a lot of hiking this summer with a friend and his family. Not little hikes either. To the top of Y Mountain, Squaw Peak . Sometimes biking to the hike and then hiking. But the best bike ride is the one to BYU Creamery. Dallin also started back into piano lessons this year. He would rather not but mom says it is good for him.

Brooklyn entered double digits in age this year. Can't believe she is 10 and in 5th grade !! This summer was soccer and softball sports to keep her busy (and mom and dad running around !!). When school started she started piano lessons and plays for us all the time. She joined the school choir and also started orchestra playing the violin. Brooklyn keeps us going !

Jordan is now 8 and was baptized this last year. He is in 2nd grade and doing great !  (Although reading is not his favorite subject, recess is !) Jordan played soccer this past year and baseball. Brian was his coach and Jordan thought that was the best !  Jordan is also doing after school art class and gets to bring home some fun projects. He also started piano this year and is doing pretty good.

Brian is still working BYU and is now working in the Cannon Center. He is still working on boats here and there and was lucky enough to do a boat winterization when we received our first snow fall......(OK, maybe 'lucky' isn't the word, he certainly wasn't warm and fuzzy when done.) Dallin was lucky enough to help (thank goodness he did)! Brian was more than willing to share his cold hands when he came in. ........ Just imagine lots of screaming.

Brenda, is still working for Aunt Vicky and liking what she does. Still doing laundry and fixing dinner....usually. Always finding new projects for Brian to do, and trying, trying, trying to keep peace in this crazy family.

We have been truly blessed with a wonderful family and count our many blessings each day. Loving this Holiday season to refocus the spirit of Christmas and the reason for the season.  Spending time with each other whether it be 4 wheeling or family movie or temple square. Being with  my family is what brings me the greatest joy.
