Hello Family.
Tomorrow it will be December. Where did November go? It must have gotten lost amidst the homework, work work, church lesson planning, and cleaning (which desperately needed to be caught up on). Not a bad month - just not a super exciting or particularly fun month.
I will say this, though. It was wonderful to spend each day this month focusing on the things we have to be thankful for. After all of the obvious things (family, friends, the gospel, house, car, good health, etc) it was fun to look for the little random things we have to be thankful for. Take bubbles for example, and cinnamon scented pine cones. Both of those things make me smile every time I see/smell them, and smiles are something to be thankful for too. =)
Thanksgiving was fun. We split the day between Jason's dad's place and Jason's mom's place. Two dinners and desserts makes for VERY full tummies, and two sets of family make for VERY full hearts. I am thankful that we have my husband's side of the family so close, especially since my side of the family is out of state. We hope to visit Utah family after the Holiday Black-Out days are lifted at my work.
We love you all and miss you tons. We hope you had a fun, family-filled Thanksgiving too.
Brittany and Jason

Update from P-town
Hi Family!
Well, I guess our biggest news for the last couple months is the gender of our baby. And it's a BOY. We had our appointment on the 10th of November. Back in September we had had an ultra-sound, and when LJ and I saw the baby for the first time, we both immediately thought it was a boy. We both doubted a little bit as the 20-week appointment drew closer, but it definitely wasn't a surprise when it turned out that we were right. That didn't keep LJ from jumping out of his seat when he heard the news, though. :) We are both so excited to meet this little boy.
The ultra-sound was so fun. 4D imaging is such cool technology-- we could see his face in awesome detail, and it wasn't even creepy like I thought it would be. He was so cute. I loved every second of it. He is also very healthy, so far. They checked for all major birth defects, and he has about a 1% chance of being born with one. This was a huge relief for me, because let's just say I do NOT like my multi-vitamins very much, and I was terrified of giving my child spina bifida because I wasn't getting enough folic acid. Didn't happen. It's all good in this neighborhood so far.
From the looks of it, baby will have a hawaiian middle name, although the first name is giving us trouble. I guess we've got a few months to figure that one out.
Besides baby, though, our lives our busy-- but basically uneventful. We go to school, we go to work, we do homework, we eat, and then we do it again the next day. LJ is doing awesome in all of his classes, and I'm doing pretty well in mine (which is a relief, because I was terrified of the whole pregnancy thing during school). I'm taking it easy for the next three semesters (meaning minimal credit hours), after which I will graduate. LJ will probably graduate a semester after me, and then on to grad-school. Lately he's been looking at internships with the state department, mostly in foreign affairs. He's worried about figuring out what he wants to do, but I tell him he's got time.
Next week we'll celebrate our first anniversary. It's crazy that it's been a year. It's been an awesome year, too. We're poor, so no big time plans for us far as I know, but LJ does have some things planned.
We love our ward and our callings. We lucked out as far as married-student wards go. I absolutely adore the four 2-year-olds in my primary, and LJ is really liking his calling as ward mission leader.
Anyway, that's about it for us. We look forward to see everyone around the holidays. Love you all!

Tired and Retired
We look at the BLOG everyday, but we don't see much action. Dad and I/Grandpa and Grandma really enjoy reading about the happenings in your lives. Thank you to those who write.
September seemed like a long month because we were waiting for Dad's/Grandpa's retirement. The 29th finally came and now D/G is a free man. He can sleep in if I will let him, and he can do whatever he wants during the day. We have been getting up at 6:30 to go to the gym. We are trying to get healthy for our mission. I have to work harder than D/G does, because I'm in worse shape. I am getting stronger, and I can walk better. We are hoping to send in our mission papers so we can open them at the reunion. We think that would be cool.
We celebtated our anniversary by going to Cub Scout pack meeting. Actually, the week before we took a little trip to Yellowstone. It was really nice. We love Yellowstone. We always manage to go when it is cold, but that makes all the steam from the geysers look better.
In February I bought tickets for Lion King. It was really cool. It was so fun seeing the costumes. They were so awesome. I think I liked the giraffes the best. I was a little disappointed in the seats. They were supposed to be the best in the price range. I guess they don't know what the best means.
Mike was here for a few days recruiting for Intel. D/G was able to go to the football game with him and all the guys. They had a great time. Thanks Mike for spending time with us.
They had a open house for D/G on his retirement day. A lot of people came to wish him well. He even got presents. Some of the higher ups from Salt Lake even came out. It was really nice. His secretary made pillows with the family picture and pictures of some of the buildings. I think he felt a little sad, but he doesn't miss all the phone calls and complaints.
We really enjoyed having the family come for Conference Weekend. The following week we went to the BYU Homecoming Spectacular. It was a really cool program. One of the numbers was especially great. Jared's dance team performed. They wowed the audience. We spent a few days in Oregon. It was great seeing everyone there. They always feed us good and take good care of us. Afterwrd we drove out to the coast. The weather was excellent. We watched the sunset on the beach. It was really great. We also found hundreds of sand dollars and dead jelly fish (that was kind of gross). It was beautiful weather while we were there, but it started to rain when we started home. Thank you Oregon Hancock's for a fun time. We love all of you and hope all is well in your lives. Write on the BLOG if you get a chance. Love you forever. Mom,Dad/Grandma,Grandpa.

Ragnar Relay
Hi Family!
We had an awesome October. =) The month was highlighted by two main events. The first was that my grandparents on my mom's side returned from their mission in Ecuador and we got to visit with them (and all the family that came to welcome them home) for a weekend. The second is that we successfully ran our first Ragnar Relay! I say first, because we enjoyed the experience SO much that we will be doing another one in the near future. =) The team photo is below:
For a really good look at what our experience was like, please see the awesome short video created by one of our team members documenting our experience (to awesome music ;-):
http://www.vimeo.com/16247036
Basically, there were two vans, each with six people, and while one van ran the other attempted to rest up and eat. Each person ran three legs. Jason ran a total of 17.4 miles, and I ran a total of 13.1 miles.
Aside from our two big events, Halloween was also a lot of fun. I was able to borrow a costume from a coworker and dress up as Snow White (wig and all) and Jason borrowed a red cape and brown hat and was my Prince Charming. His costume was pretty generic, though, and combined with the missing tooth Jason acquired via an elbow in the face playing basketball many of the trick-or-treaters thought he was a pirate. =P He could also have been a matador...
Well, that's it for October. We love you all and wish you a Happy November! =)

The Good and the Bad
I'm getting really bad about posting on the blog. It has been a couple of months.
We have had some wonderful things and trying things occur since last we posted. First off, as you already know, Kaylie and LJ are expecting March 21. We have known for several weeks, but we were sworn to secrecy. I'm excited about this event. I'm not super excited about being called grandpa. In fact that sounds very strange to me, but Terry takes great delight in it.
Also, Nate and Zach have been doing really well, and we have a lot to be grateful for. We are very grateful they are excited for their mission and doing well. We love to get their emails each Monday even if they are somewhat short.
The last couple of weeks, Lynette's Mom has really had some health struggles. She became very sick a few weeks ago. As a result she started having many mental issues. It has been a real struggle to see her go through this. We have now gotten her some professional help, and she seems to be improving. For a while the family was trying to take care of all her needs. We keep praying and working for the best. I personally am grateful for how Lynette's family responded to this, something we never thought we would deal with. They have really come together. There have been some real spiritual experiences throughout all this that we are very grateful for.
As far as other members of the family go there has been a lot of soccer. Kelsey's high school team has had a bit of a frustrating season. They outplay teams but still end up on the wrong end of the score because they have trouble putting it in the back of the net.
Tyson and Max have also been playing. Tyson is the keeper. He loves it, but I have found it is not easy to be a parent of a keeper. Tyson continues to play defense. His team has also been frustrating this season.
Annika and Kelsey have been very busy with school. They seem to have a lot of home work each day. Annika is getting closer to the day she will drive. It is hard to believe that we have that many that are driving in the family.
Brianna is in a choir group starting this fall. She is super excited about it. We hope we have found something that she will really enjoy and stick with.
We love you all.

Busy as Predicted
This last month has been NUTS! But it's okay. We're grateful for the work and school opportunities more than we are driven crazy by them. Even if we have to juggle all of these things with only one car... But we have a car! So we are grateful for that as well. =P
This month's events (last half of Aug, first half of Sep):
Love,
Brittany and Jason
This month's events (last half of Aug, first half of Sep):
- Jason's basketball team placed 1st in their division (B League). I got to watch a couple of the games and my husband is crazy, lol. Crazy fast that is! Which is why he can get away with not being 6'8".
- We went on a temple trip to Redlands with the ward and had a BBQ afterward (yum!).
- School started for me (as I mentioned it would).
- We won tickets to the San Diego zoo on the same radio station we've been winning the other stuff. We love that radio station! We're not sure we'll want to go twice, as in the case of Soak City (which we will hopefully be using our second set of tickets on this Friday), so we're trying to figure out who to take with us.
- Jason signed us up to run in something called the Ragnar Relay, which is a 200 mile race divided into 36 legs run by 12 people (runner 1 runs legs 1, 13, and 25; runner 2 runs legs 2, 14, and 26, etc...). It starts in Lake Mead and ends in Las Vegas. The race is mid-October so we've been training. =) A few couples from our ward and the ward that meets in our building after us are on the team, and I'm excited to get to know them better.
- We went to the temple again, only this time for sealing assignments, which we've never done before. It was such a wonderful experience. There were marriages, as I'd expected, but then we also got to help seal kids to their parents, and that was the most special, happy, excited feeling of all. What a wonderful feeling. =)
- Our car got a flat and it can't be repaired so we're driving around at no more than 55mph on a donut until we have a chance to get to a used tire place. <_<
Love,
Brittany and Jason

July and August
Hey everybody it's Aaron during july we went down to Oregon and had a blast!! Thank you so much for letting us stay with you and for providing entertainment, like the Zoo, the fountains, and the beach which by the way has -10 degree water and a surface temprature of 50. I'd also like to thank Aunt Tanya and Uncle Mike for bringing the cousins over and for letting me stay those couple of nights. I had a ton of fun catching frogs with Ryan, Jason, Josh and the occasional andrew, Isabelle, Jenna, and Noah.
It's now nearing the end of August and Tooele's school is about to start I am going into Jr High and Kira and Elijah are in HIgh School Noah is in 1st grade and Issa is in her second year of Preschool. Kira got her wisdom teeth pulled out and now has the chubbiest cheeks I have ever seen. I went camping in the beginning of August I went down to bear lake and got a tan. Last friday we had our Father's and Children campout at the church with a bouncey house, a popcorn machine, and a fifteen foot blow up water slide. Sure it was fun but it was supposed to be a father's and son campout somwhere in the mountains or something like that...Everyone had fun and my mom finally got a day to sleep.

Life's Greatest Blessing is Family
Dear Family,
It was so wonderful to come to Utah for Pioneer Day and the following week. It was truly the best vacation I've had in while (even though Jason had to go home earlier than me to work). Jason and I stayed with grandma and grandpa for the first few days, during which time we ate wonderful food (Thank You!!!), chatted, and played games (including a game called Quirkle, which we enjoyed so much that we bought it and play it often). It's always fun staying with grandparents =). The remainder of the week was filled with family and friends. Mom set up family portraits, so hopefully we'll be seeing how those turned out soon. It was also wonderful for me to have a long enough vacation that I had time to visit some of my girls from Olive Garden, spend a day reading and playing video games with my siblings, and/or just do NOTHING. How nice to have that option!
The day I flew back to CA Jason picked me up and took me to the beach. The water was cold, and we had fun laughing at each others' faces as we got in deeper. Jason got the biggest laugh, though, when I tried to "catch" a wave, and ended up doing something of a somersault on to the shore. Good times. ;-)
Since vacation it's been back to work as usual, though we did have our first dentist appointments since we've been married (which Jason enjoyed as much as Katie enjoys the dentist ;-). We also used one set of our Knott's Soak City tickets, followed by the most exciting dinner I've ever experienced in my life at Medieval Times. For those of you who don't know, Medieval Times is a place where you eat in a stadium type setting and feast without silver-wear as you watch knights joust - on real horses - in a tournament and fight to be champion with swords and axes (sparks were literally flying off the blades - SO COOL!!!). All the lords and ladies in attendance are sorted into groups to cheer for different knights. Jason and I ended up being on the green team cheering for the "bad" knight that all the other knights were trying to defeat in the name of the King! It was a spectacular show, and I highly recommend going if ever you get the opportunity.
I'm writing tonight because summer break is over and life gets crazy again starting tomorrow. Jason's substitute teaching for the next three weeks at the college across the street (where I start back to school tomorrow), plus painting car windshields with me on Fridays and working at the ice-cream warehouse in the evenings. He's going to be working a lot, but he took the sub job because it makes him happy. The college students are his favorite special-needs students to work with, and they like him too. When he's working and I'm not, I'll be doing as much homework as possible so that we can utilize the time we have off together. =)
I'm realizing as I write that I have put an awful lot of smilee faces in this message. I guess that is just because I'm happy. I feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful family and have such a sweet husband. I am thankful to be able to serve in the Primary and am looking forward to the Primary program in a few weeks. I am thankful to be in good health and to have a job and a roof over my head. Life is good.
I'll stop my ramble now, but there are so many things to be grateful for and my heart is so full. I hope all of you are well and that you each feel the love that Heavenly Father has for you. We love you too. =)
Brittany and Jason
P.S. I have pictures to post, but I have to scan some of them in, so they will come at a later date... =)

Hi Everyone. We have had an incredible month. It has been so much fun to see everyone. It was especially nice to celebrate my birthday with all the family except Tanya and Julie (we missed you). The month of July just flew by. That is what happens when you are having fun. Thank you everyone for coming and being here for us. We love you and appreciate you. Also, thank you for all the presents and kind words for my birthday. You are one GREAT family.
It was even nice to go to Lagoon. That was the nicest day I've ever experienced at Lagoon. I think we should always order that kind of weather when we go. We also went with Mike, Ryan, Makell, Pauline, and the kids. Dad/Grandpa and I went home early. The weather wasn't quite so nice that day. It was pretty hot. It was a nice day for the kids to ride the water rides, however. They must have had a good time because they got home pretty late. Mike's kid had never been to an outdoor theater, so we went to the Drivein. I was glad we had already seen both movies, so I was able to have a little nap during the show. It was so fun to have the house full of people, but it made it awfully quiet when everyone left. We were lucky though because Brittany and Jason came from California and spent a few days with us.
Dad/Grandpa and I went early to Salt Lake to save a spot for everyone at the parade. All of the good spots were taken, so we had to take a concrete driveway. Luckily it had a big tree by it, and we were in the shade for most of the parade. I really enjoyed the parade. There is something about bands and floats and lots of people. Afterwards, we went to Steve and Lynette's for a barbecue. It was really fun. Jason and Brittany wanted to play games, so we got in some game playing also. Luckily for me they didn't want to play Acquire.
It looks like it is official. Dad/Grandpa will be retiring on September 30. There is sure a lot of paperwork to do. It makes us really feel old, because we have to sign up for Medicare and everything. I guess we are getting old.
We hope everyone is doing well. We love you and miss you. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Love, Mom and Dad/Grandma and Grandpa.
