Summary of Whetten family fun for 2011
January: Boys 1st
Snow Skiing lessons! They LOVED it!
Tayson also had a blast with basketball.
February: Brady
presented for the first time at CSM (national physical therapy conference). Camden turned the big 5!!
March: Rachel turned
the big 30! 3 days later Brady took his
GCS exam (Geriatric Clinical Specialist).
April: Great family
camping trip on the Oregon Coast. Camden gets his first turn at T-ball. Oh the
fun!!
May: Baylee turned
2! She will repeat ANYTHING you say! She
has most definitely become the princess of the house.
June: Brady ran his 2nd
marathon. Rachel opted to watch the kids
this time around and support from the sidelines. ;) We enjoyed a great weekend at the coast as a
family. Brady found out he PASSED the
GCS exam!!!!!
July: Trip to Hawaii for Brady’s family reunion and ward
camp. Brady also enjoyed finally
certifying in Scuba while he was there. Also
a fun trip to Utah for back to back family reunions for Rachel’s family.
August: Trip to Couer
d’lene, ID for Brady’s first Olympic triathlon (and his first flat tire) and to
visit some friends.
September: Rachel
completed her 1st sprint triathlon 3 ½ months pregnant with baby #4.
The following week the boys began school: Tayson - 2nd grade, Camden
- Kindergarten!) They both LOVE school,
especially Cam, who comes home almost every day saying, “Mom each day just gets
better and better!” Tayson loved playing quarterback for his flag football
team.
October: We enjoyed a
quiet October. Brady was released as the
11 scout master and called to be the assistant Varsity coach for the Teacher’s
quorum which he is VERY excited about.
November: Brady
completed his first trail ½ marathon
up at Silver Falls Park (BEST race he’s ever participated in, even despite the
rainy, muddy conditions). We had our first
real Thanksgiving dinner as our own little family here at home since we’ve been
married, followed by a fun-filled family weekend in Portland which the kids
LOVED (roller skating, zoo, OMSI, Christmas shopping, swimming, etc).
December: Tayson is anxiously awaiting his 8th
birthday at the end of this month and the arrival of both sets of Grandparents
just days after Christmas for his baptism.
The kids are all VERY excited to welcome their new baby
SISTER in March, though Rachel is in no rush for her to arrive yet. Considering Baylee will be DETERMINED to put
headbands on the baby’s head regardless of the gender, it’s a good thing it’s a
girl. ;) Rachel has been blessed this
year with her easiest pregnancy thus far, which has been WONDERFUL! We are grateful for wonderful family and
friends, and most importantly, for the gift of Jesus Christ in our life.
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to you and yours!
