This year has been full of firsts for me and Jason. Here are the highlights:
January - We made our very first 72-hour kit.
February - I had my 21st birthday.
March - We won a whale-watching trip from a local radio station - KATY - and spent the whole day watching... dolphins. It was neat!
April - Jason had a birthday and we celebrated our 1st anniversary at Coronado Bay with super-tasty Italian food and a gondola ride complete with chocolate-dipped strawberries and sparkling cider.
May - I got called to be Ward Organist in addition to my calling teaching the 5-year-olds. Jason is still in the Nursery.
June - We visited family in Utah for Audrey's high school graduation and Isaac's kindergarten graduation.
July - We came back to Utah for Pioneer Day and Jame's birthday.
August - Jason won us tickets to Knott's Soak City from KATY. We spent a fun-filled day at the water park and then went to dinner at Medieval Times (which was spectacular).
September - Jason's basketball team placed first in their division and we went to the temple twice in one month (a first).
October - We ran our first Ragnar Relay from Lake Mead to Las Vegas. Jason and I ran a combined 17.2 and 13.1 miles, respectively, over 24 hours.
November - This was a super-busy month with work and school so we didn't go anywhere, but we spent each day of the month being especially thankful for something specific.
December - Jason's other basketball team got to the play-offs. Unfortunately, they didn't win. Fortunately, Jason placed 2nd in the free-throw contest, one point behind 1st place.
We've grown a lot as a couple this year and are continuing to grow in the gospel as well. We love our family and friends and are thankful every day for each of you. May 2011 be one of the best years yet!
Love,
Brittany & Jason

Life
Noah has started to say some pretty funny things and I thought to myself "Aaron, instead of being selfish release this knowledge to the WORld!"
Today I said I couldn't find my swimming suit and so Noah says "You can borrow mine" I stare at him kinda funny and he quickly adds "You can sqeeze" He said all of this with such a serious face and it was soo matter-of-factly that we (Kira and I) Couldn't just laugh.
Noah's descriptions have become more and more descriptive and mean. When Noah first started Basketball one of his fellow teammates was kind of on the chubby side. Noah comes home and tells me "Aaron, There's a fat red faced kid on my team, he smells kind of funky and he mean" the next saturday I go to his basketball and Lo behold I cfor favoring and instantly recognize the "Fat red-faced kid". Afterwards I felt kind of bad so I tell my mom to do something and my mom replies "Who do you think he learned that from?" My jaw dropped knowing that she was talking to me. Acouple of days ago we got a new hot-water heater and Noah and Isabelle decided that the box was cooler than the water heater, they soon changed the box into a dressing room shedding "Dirty" clothes every ten minutes.
Kira is mad at the debate coach for favoring undeserving kids as the debate captains. Elijah is the AST. manager for the freshman basketball team. And for me, I am enjoying Jr high (sort of) I have succesfully accomplished a lead in our last school play. Dad is still looking for a job here in Utah, and mom, well, mom's learning to cope with it one day at a time.
My moms mom came to visit us in November and has made soo much Korean food! I have tried almost everything but some of it looks too wierd or smells too funky.
I am learning how to right a little bit of Korean, slowly but surely.
