Since I last found the time to blog, 4 more birthday's have come and gone for us. Along with a complete holiday season. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here at our house with a large majority of the Hughes clan. Biff and Katie were the only ones that weren't able to join us. It really was a wonderful time all being together.
Christmas brought a lot of fun with family again. The Barlow Christmas party had a successful ugly sweater contest. Scott taking the trophy hands down. The Hughes Christmas party was just as fun. It was a great celebration of all that Christ has brought into our lives.
In February Jaron turned 13. Our first official teenager. He is shaving and really growing. He is now 5'7". He is a responsible kid and a blessing to have as part of our family. He continues to do really well in all subjects at school and play soccer. He just made the Layton Strikers team and we are excited to continue his development. He also got a guitar for Christmas and has started taking lesson for that.
I had my 35 birthday in March. It was a day that kind of came and went as I had just had out my gallbladder a day or two before. That surgery went well, but I didn't bounce back like I hopped I would. Now several months later I am still struggling with stomach issues.
Patten turned 3 in April. He is shy and silly. He is spoiled rotten as the baby, but I couldn't love the little guy more.
KK turned 5 and is very mature for her young age. She is the house manager and makes sure we all stay on schedule. She is so social and more than ready to go to school in the fall.
After back surgery in the fall Don's back is doing really well. Being bishop is tough at times but he is always so happy when he can make a difference in someones life.
I have been doing a lot of school the past year, every spare moment almost. That is why this blog isn't getting a lot of attention. But I am loving it and hoping to be done by the time 2021 rolls around.
