Ally (9 yrs old) loves soccer, likes Jazz dance and tolerates piano lessons. Ally and I took a trip to Montana with her cousin Lydia this summer. I couldn’t get those girls out of the lakes, they loved playing in the gorgeous clear water. Ally’s soccer team took first in her league this year and she has been so proud of their accomplishment. Her most pressing need though is to always be with a friend or hanging out with her brothers.
Ty (12 yrs old) loves tinkering and taking things apart, likes Trombone and soccer and tolerates piano lessons. Ty camped in a yurt with the scouts this winter. Luckily Byron is his Scoutmaster and plans awesome activities for them. Ty went to camp Bartlett for a week and was happy to finish off his archery merit badge. He is working on getting a weed-eater attached to his skate-board so he can accomplish a challenge his Dad threw out. Ty is such a fun kid to have around.
Carter (15 yrs old) loves computers and built a 3D printer in a class, likes Jazz Band at school and tolerates piano lessons. He went to scout camp, AFY and Trek this summer. He also biked for 8 days throughout Southern Utah. They went 100 miles and slept in tents with a school group. He is a proud owner of a drivers permit and is learning the rules of the road. Carter and his Dad have also been having fun fixing up an old Honda dirt bike. It is really close to getting legal. They are down to a couple tail lights.
This year has been full of blessings and fun. We have enjoyed soccer games, skiing and camping at Alta, ballet recitals, tending our new flock of birds (4 parakeets and 6 finches), melting aluminum on Carter’s home made forge but most of all spending time with family and friends.
It has been great fun dragging the kids around and letting them get a taste of this world. We especially enjoyed our time in D.C. visiting our cousins and friends who still live there. Jackson Hole is always a blast with the Livsey family reunion; this year it was sandwiched in-between two family weddings. Thanksgiving was perfect as all of Byron’s family were together.
This coming year is sure to be full of new adventures. We are so grateful we feel the Lord’s hand in our lives. We hope this note finds you full of Christmas cheer.
With much love - Byron, Erin, Carter, Tyler and Ally Pollan
