Christmas Letter

Ok yall, I've been really boring with my blog. I don't get on very often as you can all see. But I'll try and update everyone what has been going on this year.

Let's see.. Lets start with Bert

Bert is still working at the jail, he has been Officer in charge a few times. This means that he gets to have complete power while the boss is gone for a day or two... Actually it means he has to stay later if there are any problems. He likes the jail and is still working on being more diplomatice so he's not the most complained about jailer. He needs to learn how to say NO nicely. He bought an assalt rifle and another gun for his dad. He has had a lot of fun with these guns. So have all the cops and all his brother inlaws.
He decided to get chickens this year for the kids and worked hard on building a coop for them to live in. I'll have to say that he did a good job taking care of them until lately. They all ended up being roosters exept one. Since the reason we got them in the first place was for eggs, having all roosters has defeated the purpose. I told him to kill them but they are still crowing. I keep thinking they might freeze and I feel bad. I'd rather them get shot then have to suffer.
He aslo has been working on many house projects that have happened. This summer the pipe running to the house broke and this winter our pipes froze and broke in numerous places. So We've been with out water a few times this year. We feel like pioneers. Exept we get to shower at moms and she does our laundry.
Ruger: He started Fist gratde this year and all of the sudden decided he didn't like home work. We've had a few homework battles and a few talks with his teacher about staying on task at school. He loves to read and is one of the best readers in the class. He is a good helper and is growing up way to fast for me. He is starting to like Super heroes, scoby doo, and Hot wheels. He stills enjoys trains but is brancing out a little, which is ok with us. He is such a tender hearted little guy and usually tries to enteratin his little brother and sister. He says we are going to have a girl because it would fit the pattern of boy girl boy girl.
Kimber is all girl still. She doesn't like to go to bed. I think she got that from her dad. She love preschool and learning. Her speech is improving and she loves to sing in the bathroom. She is definatly the boss and thinks she can tell her brothers what to do. She has had a few hair cutting episodes. her lastone involving a buzz. She found her uncle davids hair cutter and buzzed her hair in two places. She didn't like it very much and her mother was very upset at her. She hasn't cut her hair for a month, so maybe she is cured.
She love to create things, cutting paper, gluing pictures and writing her name. She love people and friends.
Colt: What can I say. He is my rough and tumble boxing, hitting tackling, yelling boy. He is my morning person. He is happiest in the morning when he wakes up. He has a great vocabulary and tells wonderfull stories. We are working on hitting at taking from his brother and sister. He is very stubborn( the must come from Bert too :) He gives the best Glover Bear hugs.
Me. My time is spent doing a little cleaning, a little playing, a little bit of this and that. I've enjoyed playing with the symphony of the canyons. (even though I'm not very good) I enjoy helping people out when I can. I enjoy our sessions with our deaf mentor and learning new signs. I have been overly onry and short tempered the past month and much more hormonal. I am tring to be more patient but I ususally don't make it through the day. Hopefully I will return to normal in Feb. My kids are cute and I am a very predujice mother, who thinks her kids are the cutest and do and say the cutes things. I love them very much. I'm very gratful for Bert and his patientce with me and his hard work on fixing the house.
We are very lucky to live close to Grandpa and grandma Glover.
We wish we saw all of you more.
Merry Christmas
