So instead I facebook, blog, and e-mail everyone. That way you all know how much we care about you. And how we wish you a very Merry Christmas! He lives, and is the reason for the season!<br />

Dear Family and Friends,</div>

Our year has gone by in a flash. There has been so much to
do and so little time…</div>

Deric graduated from Snow College with two Associates
Degrees. He worked a bunch in California over the summer and just recently got his
Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Rather than work for someone else he bought
a Semi truck and is hauling loads to and from the port in California. (By the
way he also brought home an 8 week old puppy when our new baby was 6 weeks
old... sigh).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Muria has been active: working in the kids schools, running
triathlon’s 7.5 months pregnant, shuttling kids to tons of activities, having a
baby, working for the WIC office, working for 4H as an afterschool educator, advising
the young women at church, chasing a new puppy, becoming a secretary for a
trucking company, and I am sure various other tasks. (I am tired are you?)
Mostly she just loves being a wife and mom!</div>

Jessica, 14, spent a lot of time this summer riding horses.
She was crowned Sanpete Rodeo Sweetheart first attendant. Jess is now a

school sports events. Recently she joined the jazz band as well. Jess also
loves to baby sit (as long as it is not her own siblings!!)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Sammie, almost 13, has been working hard to maintain amazing
grades in school. She is a 7<sup>th</sup> grader at Ephraim middle school. Sam
is a student commissioner for her PTSA and runs school pride events each month.
She plays the clarinet and guitar and was on the tournament winning soccer team
this year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sarah, 10.5 and in the 5<sup>th</sup> grade, is very into
horses. She rode all summer for 4H and has greatly improved her skills. If she
isn’t riding she is probably reading. Sarah is a voracious reader and is often
found snuggled somewhere with a book in her lap. Sarah played soccer this fall
and was an amazing goalie!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Carrie, almost 9, is always smiling… really always! She is a
jokester and loves to have fun. Carrie is also our social butterfly and loves
to hang out with friends. She is in the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade. This year she has
really gotten into dancing and LOVES to perform. She is always talking her brothers
into being in some “performance” with her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nelson, 7, is really enjoying 1<sup>st</sup> grade. He
played soccer this year as well and liked every minute of it. Nelson has a big
heart and is always looking out for others. His teacher says that he is a joy
to have in class. He likes riding bikes, playing spies, and building with Legos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wally, 5, is an amazing big brother to his new baby brother.
He loves to sing to him and hold him. Wally had a super time playing soccer
especially since his mom was his coach and his sister Sam was his assistant
coach! Wally is doing an online pre-school which he really enjoys. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Roy, 3, is leaving the “terrible 2’s” and entering into the “torturous
3’s!” He is so very busy and testing all the time! He is so cute and snuggly
thought. He will tell you he loves you often, and he is always saying cute
little tings!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
John Campbell aka Gromit joined our family on July 22! He is
a sweet baby who is very happy as long as he is being held (which he is a lot
in our house!).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love, Deric Muria Jess Sam Sarah Carrie Nelson Wally Roy

My Sammie Ann turned 12 a few days ago. She was very excited about this! In our church 12 means moving out of primary (children's church) and into Young Women's. It is a big year, and since her sister Carrie turned 8 and was baptized it was a heart pulling year for me. My girls are getting so big!</div>

Sorry I don't have better pictures but her birthday was very low key this year. She decided she wanted cake pops instead of cake this year. Jessica thought it would be funny to make them look like chicken nuggets (this is Sam's favorite word... why? I have no idea!) I think they look close to the real thing!</div>

Also, instead of a party Sammie wanted to have a day out with me and a friend of her's from CA that moved to Provo, UT a year after we moved. It was really fun. We went out to frozen yogurt, to the mall, to party stores, and out to dinner! It was a great "party." Happy Birthday to my spunky, cute, friendly, clean, second daughter!</div>

From Christmas to New Years, my two holiday birthdays! Nelson turned six January first and we happened to be in California for our Thanksmas celebration with Deric's family. We had cake and Ice cream the Sunday before, went to an awesome trampoline "land" on his birthday with cousins and then he had a birthday party with friends when we got home. Over all I believe he was thoroughly celebrated!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was so excited about his new bike and helmet. He was also nice and let Roy try it out!</div>

For our family Christmas starts the begining of birthday season. Starting Christmas day and ending around Valentines we have so many birthdays. Both mine and Derics, fours of our children, two sister in laws, a brother in law, many nieces and nephews, other extended family and quite a few friends. It is amazing how crazy it gets. While most people think Thanksgiving to Christmas is hectic, I think the month plus AFTER Christmas is hectic. But amazing! I love to celebrate my family and most especially my children. So my next few posts will be to get you caught up with all of our birthdays, and then I hope to be blogging about once a week because honestly I always have something exciteing to share!!</div>

Waiting to run the poles event. I love the activity in the background... lots of girls were warming up waiting for their turn. I also love that Deric is standing there with her. He was at her side the entire weekend!</div>

This picture is a sad one. Jess is crying. The horse is refusing... he just didn't want to go around the barrel. He was finished at this point, it had been a very long two days. But Jess didn't give up. She worked at each barrel until he would finally relent and go around it. She MADE him go around all three barrels, a task that was taking most girls around 20 seconds took Jess over 2 minutes... but she never gave up. I was so proud of her. So was the rest of the audience, they all clapped as the finished and the the gate person gave her a high "five". It was a hard life lesson but I am glad she finished, she is too!</div>

Deric woke up bright and early and drove to Provo to hold a prime spot for us on University Ave. He got there at 6am for the Parade that starts at 9am! The kids and I drove up an met him there. Two of Deric's brothers , my sister in law and a bunch of the cousins met us there too! It was a good parade, long but entertaining! </div>

A journey.Lately I have noticed many people I know posting on Facebook their personal success and failures with weight loss and physical health. I often go to post things that I too am struggling with and or succeeding with and for some reason I always back out at the last minute.<br />
<br />
Weight loss for me has been an ongoing battle for... well, as long as I can remember. Last summer was the breaking point for me. I got home from a fabulous vacation in NH and I could hardly bear to look at the photos of myself. This is what I saw...<br />

In my horror I started to loose and did fairly well. I would take some off and put some back on. My continued failure was wearing on me. I felt like I was trapped in the body of someone else. Then 10 weeks ago I did an 8 week weight loss challenge. I also did a two week triathlon (you complete an Iornman triathlon but you have two weeks to complete it all), a 5k, a sprint triathlon, and a 10k. I exercised about three hours a day and ate better than I have ever before. I lost 42lbs in those 8 weeks (and 19 inches)!!! I am also stronger and feel better than I have in a LONG time. I am hooked now too, I LOVE triathlons. I have already signed up for one this month (an olympic leangth!) <i>I am actually down just over 60 lbs from the above photo!</i><br />

I mostly want to express that I know with hard work and determination many things are possible. I also feel that my journey to better health was strengthened when I prayed. With His help, all things are possible!<br />
<br />
This all being said, I still struggle, a lot! Some days are good and others bad, but it is worth the effort to feel better and to have more energy for my family. Now I have about 25 more pounds to go, my goal is to have it gone by the end of the summer. <br />

I suppose I had some serious learning to do about motherhood... and I did learn a lot, and I continue to every day. But learning to be a mother has been a lifelong journey. It started from birth with my own mother. She looked in my eyes and loved me from that very second, and there has never been a day in my life that I have doubted it. She has loved me completely, despite my faults. She has kissed skinned knees, wiped away tears of sorrow, and been there to support me in all that I have ever done. I have learned so much from my own mom that has helped me to be the mother I am today and I will be forever grateful that I was born her daughter.<br />
<br />
There are many other women that have helped me become the mother that I am... my Grandmother taught me to love unconditionally and always be there to support my children no matter what. Ranny (my other grandmother) taught me to be strong, and how important it is to do what is best for your family (even if it is hard). My sister Amanda has taught me how right my mother was... that friends will come and go but your sister will always be there! My sister Kim helped me to see that we need to focus on our dreams, it is up to us to make them a reality. I have countless Aunts that I watched mother and protect and stand up for their children; I am a better mom today for all that I saw them do!<br />
<br />
I now have extented family, in-laws, that I love and respect so much more than I would have ever imagined. They are all strong women, diverse in many ways but united in the streangth of love that they have for their children. My mother in law has been a huge part of my growth as a mom. Her example of dedication to her family has inspired me tremendously. I am also grateful that she raised her son to be the man he is today!<br />
<br />
There are countless other women that have crossed my path that have created the mother I am. The women from church who have shown me how to raise my children to love our Heavenly Father. The friends who have shown me how to feed my children well, and love them even better. So many ladies who have loved me and nurtured me in my journey as a mother.<br />
<br />
I owe most of my growth in my role as mother to my beautiful children. They have taught me patience, greater love, compassion, and so many other things that I can not name them all. The mother I am... is a little bit of all the mothers and their children who have touched my life. I am so grateful for them and hope that someday I might help someone on their journey as a mother. I am so full of gratitude for this great responsibility I have been given. May I be worthy of the sweet children that my husband and I have been allowed to raise as I continue to become the Mother I am...<br />
<br />
Happy Mothers Day! <br />

They spend so much time wrestling each other, and now Roy is getting in on the action too! The do however have some wonderful calm moments that I admit I greatly enjoy! Here are some pictures of them working together, and feeding Roy his yogurt. They were being particularly sweet on this day. I sure love my kids!<br />

"Well, Sam will be in the middle school too!" I stopped and turned to Samantha and realized that Jess was right. Sam will be in the middle school next year, how did that happen? (groaning inwardly) my kids are growing up soooo fast. (This also means that Nelson will be in elementary school next year!) Here is a quick peak at Samantha's birthday, which was on Feb 8th. The last post for our "birthday season." Which is good because Sarah's birthday is in one month!!<br />

I hope Sammie had a wonderful day. It was fun to celebrate her. She is such a smart, funny, wonderful girl. I am glad to be her mother, she teaches me things all the time. Happy Birthday cute Sam!<br />

She is turning into a wonderful young lady. She has lots of friends, does well in school, and is always trying to make us laugh. This year she wanted Monster cupcakes and cake. I was happy to oblige, these little guys were fun to make!</div>

Unfortunatly I haven't done them as much for the boys. I was feeling a little bad so the other day I bought some bubble bath for them. They were so excited. I over "bubbled" the bath the first time for an extra fun effect. They just loved it. Of course Nelson and Wally made beards and put bubbles all over Roy. Here are some pictures of the great event!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My children are growing up. They change gradually sometimes and other times it is right before my eyes. I love watching this growth and yet can't help but feel some sadness. My babies are growing up and there is nothing I can do to stop it (nor would I want to!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The growth of my children has also meant growth of their mother. They have changed me, made me better than I was. I am more patient, more understanding, more <i>everything</i>. I don't mean to say that better means best, I sure have a LONG way go... and I will NEVER be perfect, just as long as I am better than I was when I first became a mom! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel bad sometimes for Jessica who had to break me in, to teach me how to be a Mom! I sure hope she gets extra blessings for putting up with training ME! All of my children really deserve gold medals for having to help in my training process! My growth as a mom has really taught me to relax more, appreciate the little things, and look my children in the eyes and SEE them as often as I can. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My children have grown so much lately. Sam, Sarah, and Carrie all just had parent teacher conferences and their teachers all had wonderful things to say about them! I left the school so proud to be their mother! Nelson is learning more and more this year as we prepare for Kindergarten in the fall. But the most growth lately has come from my other three... the youngest boys and my oldest child!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Roy of course is changing from a cute baby into a toddler before my eyes. He is walking, going up and down the stairs and climbing everything. He is so inquisitive, I love to watching him and see his little wheels turning as he decides what to get into next!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wally has been slightly more difficult than my other children. He is passionate, obstinate, and quick to anger. He pushes me to my limits very often. But he has a softer side, one of quick hugs laughs and and lots of jokes. This softer side has been present more and more and I am loving this change. He is so fun and he is always looking out for his little brother Roy. Just the other day he heard Roy crying and went and gathered books for him to make him happy. Not only did he get Roy to settle down, but he got him to start laughing!! </div>

The other major change has come from Jessica. Last year she attended an activity for church where she has to stand up in front of a bunch of people. She was nervous and self conscious. I could tell it was hard for her but she did it any way and I was so proud of her. Last night she had another such opportunity. But this year as school she has been working on a play and doing a few other things that really put her just out side her comfort zone.The change was amazing. She looked at the crowd, was funny and entertaining, and did a wonderful job. I know it still wasn't easy for her but the growth was amazing. She was also recognized for completing a project for her personal progress (a program for young women at church) and earned a ribbon for knowledge. (I will post more about her project later.) She is working hard, earning all A's, and trying new things... she is also babysitting for other people now too! My little girl is growing up!<br />

My handsome Nelson turned five years old as we rang in the New Year. As a family we decided that there would be no big parties this year. Only a family party with a friend or two to share cake and ice cream with.<br />
<br />
Nelson has lots of interests so picking a cake theme was hard... Lego, Nerf, Star Wars?... as you can see Star Wars won this time but it leaves me plenty of options for next year!!<br />

I hope that he had a great day. I sure enjoyed celebrating him for a day. He got to choose his breakfast (crepes) and dinner (pigs in a blanket!). He also was exempt from his chores for the day!<br />

What fun it is to watch this little boy grow. He has really changed this past year and all signs of baby and toddler-hood have left him. He is very Independence and loves to make his own popcorn and pour his own drinks. He is very modest, but not shy. He loves to play with others and can't wait until the snow is gone some more so he can ride his bike and new "motorcycle." I sure love this child and I am so grateful that my Father in Heaven is allowing me to raise him.

This year we tried to do fun and inexpensive teacher appreciation gifts. I am really happy with the results. I hope my children's teachers felt appreciated.</div>

On Friday the 8th I hung the teacher posters. I am really excited about how these came out. The kids enjoyed having me take their pictures and making the posters personal. The kids are making "fishy faces" on the steam poster. Also each fish lists what the kids feel their teacher gives to them. The tree is filled with apple kids. Their hands make the leaves and list the ways that their teacher gives to them!</div>

For me, well, I don't get to take a deep breath until after Valentines day!! You see, for our family "Birthday Season" starts Christmas Day and lasts until February 8th. Then (here at our elementary school) the next week is teacher appreciation, Valentines day, and Parent Teacher conferences, I swear they are trying to kill me!! So right now I am able to breath, and blog!!! I am going to start with Roy's birthday first (Christmas Day!) and work my way forward. Hope you enjoy!<br />

This picture is to show that I finally finished his baby blanket. You know, the one that all of my kids get when they are born... his may have been a year late!
