Well it's Brent again. I am really trying to think of a method where I can be consistent and post once a week (or at least twice a month). That way all of our family and friends can have a regular update because we are not good at anything else. So here goes our update.
We had a blast for Christmas. Jay and Jill (Suzanne's younger sister and Husband) came into town for an early christmas holiday. It was fun to spend some time with them and that day we even got Sydney to ride the Ferris Wheel in the Scheels store. (Mind you she was scared of it the first time.)
Then everytime we went back to the store she would want to ride it again. At the store they also sell like 100 different varieties of fudge and we all bought a bunch to share together which was delicious.
Suzanne and I celebrated birthdays. We had some friends over on my birthday for a game night and celebrated conjointly at that time. It was a blast. But Sydney could not be left out of the fun. So she stayed up till 11 pm. (Mind you she still woke up at 6 am the next morning) But it was a lot of friends. It was good to see some that we have not seen in years and it was the first time since moving back.
Christmas was a blast! Sydney loved every minute of it. She could not wait for Santa to get here. There were a lot of gifts and things to do but it was an enjoyable day. Pictures have been included below.
New Years Eve was another game night of friends and fun. (Lori and Scott were in town for the Christmas break)
Sydney is getting older and stronger, smarter, and quicker everyday. She loves to ask questions but she is scared of loud noises. She is loving senior nursery thus far. We had friends over for dinner tonight and she was the life of the party. She was running around the house yelling and playing and giving everyone a good laugh.
Owen is as big as ever. He is loving his food. I gave him noodles yesterday which on his plate of cheerios and noodles, he would push the cheerios around to fish out the noodles. He is not sleeping through the night right now (wakes up once of twice) but at eight months we have got to stop those bad habits. He has started army crawling and can really move that way.
Suzanne and I are sunbeam teachers and I just got called as a Stake Auditor in addition to sunbeams. It will be interesting considering that is my day job as well.
No news on the house. We switched realtors in Dec (which did not go over well with our other realtor - she took it very personally and hard but come on - no movement on my house I have got to change) . Currently, we put it up on the market for sale and lease with the new realtor, had a few bites but nothing too serious. So if anyone is looking for a house for rent in the Austin area, keep our house in mind.
We love you all - and miss all of our Hutto Friends dearly.
Take a look at the pictures.

Thanks guys!! It was fun reading up on all that you guys have been doing! We miss you guys! I can’t believe how big Owen is getting! When are you coming back?????
Hey, I'm so glad I rechecked! I've missed a lot! I figured you were in Vegas but I didn't know your house was still up. Who was your original realtor and who do you have now? Were they ones I had recommended? I know the market's tough, but better than elsewhere. The Peterborgs got their house sold?, and I'm wondering if they used the one I gave them. Anyway, let me know if I can help in that area. I cannot get over how different Sydney looks! She is definitely getting bigger. Wait, that word is for Owen. Holy biggness himself. You guys grow cute babies. I wish I had your address at Christmas time. I had a card sitting here for a while until I found your old Texas address, but I ended up recycling it. Okay, that's long enough! We miss you!
Okay, I typed this really long comment last week and it's not here, so I'll try again! Glad I checked again to see if you guys were up and running since moving. For a while it was all about the hurricane. I'm sad your house hasn't sold yet. Tell me who your realtor was. Did you use the one I recommended? Did the Peterborg house sell? Anyway, let me know if I can help there. Great pics of Owen. I can't believe how big he is. But, the surprise for me is how much S has changed! She's such a little girl now, not so nurseryish.
love all the pics! so...are you guys really going to ever stay with us when you are in utah?! :)
Hey it's Elisabeth Smith, I hear you are in Texas, we just found out we will be moving to Temple Texas, it's near Austin, is that anywhere near you guys? looks like you are doing well. it's great to "catch up"
