Hewlett Update/Christmas Card

Things in the Hewlett home have been super busy that I have not had time to come up with time to do a super cute christmas card to send out that if your disappointed, consider this your card:) but to be honest, I'm sure we don't have too many of you that are heart broken over it. Anyway, between moving, painting the house, organizing, decorating, taking care of 2 little ones, visiting family, there hasn't been much down time of relaxing. But we are so grateful for all that we have and acknowledge our many blessings! This past year starting out was a big step in the right direction for us! About this time last year Todd was only a month into his new job after struggling with a lay off before. We were so blessed to have todds parents be so open to let us live in their basement in october of 2010 when that all happened. It gave us the oppurtunity to give us the time to have todd really sit and find a good job in the direction of what he got his Bachelors degree in. While living there it gave me a chance to go back to get my CNA. We then moved to some townhomes around christmas time last year trying to continue to save money. We enjoyed the time there after being so blessed to have family to help us out. After moving to the townhome we came to find out a huge surprise on valentines day.... We were pregnant and due in October! It was a complete surprise but we were happy:) Through the spring and summer we were just going day to day of working and caring for Maddie as I gained a belly. We came to find that we were expecting a boy June 1st and were so thrilled! We spent our summer working and going to our favorite family spots East Canyon and the cabin. Todd was still in his first year of his career and had no vacation days.. But with those homes away from home we still had fun!! The beginning of August we started looking at houses and were super busy. We found the home of our dreams but went through windy roads with it being a short sale. We did finally get word that the house was ours and were extremely happy! But first we were surprised again when Kyler decided to make his appearance on the morning of October 3rd. We moved into our home December 3rd and are loving it! We love our new ward and feel very welcomed. We have been so busy getting the house tegether and raising 2 little ones. Maddie is so sweet and learning the potty process. She loves being a big sister and just adores her baby brother. Kyler is just darling and talks non stop already! This past month he has really blossomed and coos and smiles all day long! He truly is adorable and makes us laugh and smile all day! Pictures of the new home are soon to come:)
