Well, I am going to get to updating pictures later because I have most my pictures on my phone and don't have card to put on comp. yet. Anyway, more excuses I know, but maybe you will forgive me when you hear what has been going on!
Brett and I have been separated since June and are now going through a divorce. The kids and I are in Monticello with my family and have a house of our own. Brett is living up in the Salt Lake Area. We've had a pretty rough go of it, but in the meantime have had many blessings come to the kids and I (and I hope Brett too).
For starters, Kaydan Matthew Lawrence Hellewell was born the end of October here in Monticello. He is a joy in our family and is now nearing 4 mo. He is rolling a little and smiles and laughs a lot! He brings sunshine wherever he goes!
Dallin is nearing 2 1/2 and is our little mimic and keeps us on our toes. We are trying the potty training thing a little at a time. He keeps us laughing everyday at
something new he comes up with!
Tepaynga is 6 and is so smart and at the top of her Kindergarten class! She loves it and has made many great friends!
Mekayla is always Miss social and has many friends and is really into sports. She has played soccer and basketball. She has done awesome and loved both.
Both the girls are in dance and love to teach each other their dance moves. Dallin is right beside them and loves to dance as well with his own added techniques!
I am in the process of going back to school and applying for the education program through the USU extension. I am working on all my prereqs. to get into the program before the deadline of July 1st. The problem was that I have been out of school for so long that I had to take a few classes over again. :( I am also working at the shop part time to make ends meat and am trying to find all the government funding that I can! Any ideas or loopholes, please let me know!
Brett has just found a job and a place to live after moving back down from Washington.
The Lord is truly mindful of us and we see little miracles happen every day! Thanks to all of you who have truly been the Lord's hands at many points throughout our struggles. I don't know where we would be without the blessings of the gospel in our lives!
I will try to be better at this, but I am not going to promise as I am at witts end as it is sometimes!! :) T.T.F.N.
