Family pic Dec 2010



If you read this blog, then the newsletter below will be old news. Maybe boring even. But I didn't want anyone to feel bad for not getting a Christmas card/newsletter from us.

Holiday card:
Zabriskie Family 2010

Another year is nearly over and our lives are busier than ever-but in all of the madness of rushing from place to place, we have much to be grateful for and we know we’re blessed. One of our greatest blessings is that we’re able to announce that we will be adding a baby girl to our family in March! We are all so excited to meet and love this new little one.

This year we were able to take a few family vacations. In June we went to Idaho for Becky’s grandfather’s funeral. Although it was a sad event it was very nice to visit family that we rarely see. This was also a great chance for us to meet our new nephew/cousin Colt, for the first time. We also got to spend a weekend with the Zabriskie family at a cabin in Northern Utah. We spent the entire time swimming, boating, fishing, riding 4-wheelers and playing games. In July Becky got to go to Denver for work and was able to convince Steve to come along for the whole week. Their favorite part of the trip was the King Tut exhibit at the art museum-where they spent hours exploring. While they were gone, the kids spent the week getting spoiled by Gramma and Papa!

Morgan is in Kindergarten this year and she loves it! She is learning so fast-she loves to sound out and write words, sentences and stories. She loves to ride the bus and has made a lot of new friends. This year Morgan got to take swimming lessons, dance classes and play soccer. She is so excited to be a big sister-with huge plans of dressing up and playing with her new little sister.

Koby is a very busy teenager. This year he graduated from elementary school and is now in Jr. High. He is learning to play the cello in his orchestra class. This year Koby also got to spend a week at scout camp and go on several bike trips-working up to a 50 mile ride with Steve and the other 12-14 yr old scouts. He is getting ready for basketball season which starts in January.

Becky stays busy with her family and church callings. She spends her free time reading, taking pictures and keeping the whole family organized. In March she took on the project of painting the kitchen and a bedroom, making our home look even nicer.

Steve has run in several 5k races this year and continues to improve his time each race. He’s working hard at living healthy and is a great example of perseverance. He is still the scout master in our ward which keeps him extremely busy. He really enjoyed all of the bike rides and campouts this summer.

We hope that you all have a great holiday season filled with love, laughter, friends and family! Happy Holidays! Steve, Becky, Koby & Morgan
