Update from the Reudter Family

Well...since I have now figured out a few things with this blog site....I thought it would be fun for me to see if I can upload some pictures for you of the kids. They are all growing up fast as I am sure yours are too! Mallory is getting excited to turn the magical "8" in May and is looking forward to her baptism in June (on the 2nd to be exact!! - she's telling EVERYONE!). Gabby is enjoying Kindergarten but has a little trouble keeping quiet and listening to her teacher (her name fits??) but we are working on this! Morgan is just trying to keep up with her sisters. She loves being at home with Mommy, but when the girls are home, they play together and Mommy has to find other things to do.

Jamy is still working at ADP and loves it. He loves the team members he gets to work with and some of his co-workers are starting the "Biggest Loser" among the team beginning January 1st. So I will be joining him too....both of us would like to lose some weight and eat better than we are now. Any recipe ideas will be GREATLY WELCOMED!!

Me....well, I have been the YW President for a year now and finally starting to get a hold of things. The YW consists of 10 YW with about 4-5 joining us during the year 2007....we will be planning Girls Camp for August really soon and will be involved in a Pioneer Trek in July. So we have a lot of things going for us. I am now working at nights (an on-call basis) from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Bountiful Temple. My job is to clean with a team of about 10 -12 people. I LOVE IT! It's fun to be inside the Temple and to make it clean for the next day for the patrons to enjoy!

Last, but not least....Stephen lives with us too! He's been here about a year now....he is currently working at Snowbird and seems to like his job. He is a good help with the kids and around the house when he is home...which sometimes feels like he is out with his friends more than he sleeps...but he's enjoying himself.

Oh yeah (NEWSFLASH!!!)....we will be having an addition to our growing family in the spring (not a baby!!) but a puppy! We have decided to get a puppy and have some friends who will be breeding their cocker spaniels in the spring, so we'll get the pick of the litter when they arrive! I'm excited to train the puppy to bark at the door and garage so I can know when someone is here....sometimes I can't hear the door or the doorbell (depending on where I am in the house), so this will be fun. Plus I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A COCKER SPANIEL!! I think they are cute and the right size dog to add to the family!

We'll see if I can get some pictures up too! The first picture is Gabby in her Christmas dress for this year.

This is a picture of our family at the Days of '47 Handcart Parade float preview. This is a fun activity (and it's FREE) that you can walk through the South Towne Expo Center and look at the floats that will be in the parade close up. They even let you pick your favorite float as part of a contest. The background for this is the DELTA Airlines float. They were taking the pictures and then giving you a card for you to upload it onto your computer. It was fun!

I think this Blog thing will be a fun thing to read often, if we get the rest of the Moulton gang to join up! Thanks Aaron for taking the time to do this and get us all involved! Let's keep it going. I'll try to add something often! So check back often!
