Woodside Bankrupt

And my husband is out of a job! Due to the economic down turn Blair was let go from his job as Construction Superintendent for Woodside Homes on November 21, 2008.

At the present time and after several job applications he has not found work. I am using my blog as a networking tool. If anyone out there has any contacts or knows of any job openings we would appreciate it so much.

He has a bachelors degree in Construction Management, and is open to possibilities both in and out of the construction industry.

Christmas Eve 2008

Here are a few traditions and photos from Christmas Eve 2008. I think the kids loved throwing carrots on the roof for Santa's reindeer!

FLOWERS

Sorry, I have to jump to the present, then I will go back and post Christmas. Gosh it's a bummer when you have to play catch up.

Anyway I just received these beautiful flowers from one of my most amazing friends. I can't tell her enough how much she has been an answer to my prayers these past CRAZY months.

Thanks so very much they brightened my day...but most of all I appreciate your kindness and listening ears especially with all the DRAMA...Love ya lots!

I know it's past...but here is what the Hill's were doing 2 weeks before Christmas

Blaze had a Christmas Choir concert at Madison Middle School...doesn't he look handsome ( he's the one with the red tie )? He really did sing too. It was a fun concert.

Ashley enjoyed making a gingerbread house in Mrs. Davis' 3rd grade class, she even made a fun Christmas gift. I'll share what is was when I post Christmas.

For those of you in Idaho you know that it was snowing and blowing so the kids took a picture moment outside great grandma's house to show how much snow was there.

If you look at the neighbors house there is a snow drift that is almost as tall as there roof! The picture didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. There were snow drifts as tall has my suburban on 7th south.

It had been a long time since I'd seen winter like that!

Blaze Turns 12

I'm a bit behind- so please be patient. On the 7th of December Blaze turned 12. I am so proud of what a good kid he's turned out to be. He actually turned 12 on Sunday so he was able to get the priesthood that day. He bore his testimony and I cried- he really has the spirit and testimony of the gospel...I am grateful for all the good examples and teachers that have helped him.

We took Blaze to Toads (a fun all place) for some FUN- loved the go karts!

Isn't he the CUTEST DEACON!
