Christmas Letter 2012

Dear Family and Friends,

          I hope the year of 2012 has been a happy and healthy year for each and everyone of you.

As a family here are some things that we did this year: saw the Harlem Globetrotters, went to a reunion in Beaver (Malinda’s mom side) went to Spanish Fork a few times to visit with some family and saw our niece perform at her high school in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, went to Dillon Colorado for a week, (we all love it there), saw Aladdin and Thriller at Tuachan and Will & Malinda took Zach to see Les Miserables at The Utah Shakespearean Festival.  (loved it)

Will is still at MetalCraft and he has been there for over 16 years.  We are thankful that he has a job.  Back on November 1, he nearly severed the end of his middle finger on his left hand. We are so glad that the doctor doing the surgery was able to reattach it.  He wasn’t able to go back to work until, November 20.  He still loves to read and run.  He also took all 3 boys to the Father and Son’s campout and they all had fun.

Malinda still works part time at Iron Springs Elementary as an aide and she enjoys her job.  She volunteered this summer at the Neil Simon Festival and she got to see some of the plays for free.  She also turned 40 and had a little party.  She also loves being a wife to Will and a mom to her 3 boys.  She still has a blog at www.malindasizemore.blogspot.com.

Ethan (16) is in the 10^th grade and he likes school.  He had a pretty busy year and these are the things that he did: made the JV high school soccer team as goalie, involved with the Utah Summer Games in Soccer and his team won gold in there age division, had Driver’s Ed, BYU Soccer Camp, scout camp and competitive soccer.  As you can tell, he loves soccer and he has been playing since he was 5.  He was also ordained a priest on December 2.  He is a great big brother and we love having him in the family.

Zach (10) is in the 5^th grade and he really loves school.  He was in the Pine Wood Derby in the ward earlier this year and he also did summer school.  As part of his physical therapy at school, he goes swimming once a week, which he loves doing.  He loves cars and he loves asking everyone what kind of car they drive.  He also loves to watch Full House, Sponge Bob and America’s Funniest Home Videos.  We love having him in the family.

Connor (8) is in the 2^nd grade and he likes school for the most part.  He played soccer for the first time this summer and he enjoyed that.  He also is starting to play basketball right now.  He was baptized on December 1 and it was a wonderful day.  Connor loves to watch Batman, Veggie Tales, Fairy Odd Parents, Ninjago and Sponge Bob.  We love having him in the family.

              Love,

                Will, Malinda, Ethan, Zach & Connor Sizemore 

                

Hallelujah

This is one of favorite songs and when I saw this on The Voice the other night, I was about in tears because they were paying tribute to the victims in Connecticut.  I wanted to do something, so that is why I am posting this video on my blog.

I Love You, My Friend

I am not good with words, especially in time of losing someone.  I want this person to know, that I love them and that I am so very sorry.  She is a friend to me and is my 10 year old son's aide at school.  If you ever need me, I am here for you.  I just wanted to say something to her, but I thought this saying that I found on Pinterest was  a lot better, than I could have ever said.  I love you.

This is what Christmas is really about.

I am excited for Christmas and I wanted to put my first video on here and I thought this one was perfect for this holiday season.  I also love this song.  I am so glad that I came upon this song, it made me cry by just watching it.  Christmas isn't about what gifts we get from friends and family, but Who we should remember at this time of year and throughout the whole year.  Enjoy.

Wonderful Wednesday

Let's all remember this.  Enjoy.
