I pledge

To be of service to each other...

Many of you know that I (JOEL) have been a huge supporter of President Obama. While I know that this is a bitter pill for many of you, I found this video that really can help put a positive spin on how we should all react together to a new president, whether you voted for him/her or not. Please watch!

Joel is a Policeman Now!!!!!!

Not really... but I talk to policemen now. The HOA president in our neighborhood asked me to help out with organizing the Neighborhood Watch program. I am going to be one of the neighborhood watch leaders which means I have to be the go-between for Sandy City Police and the HOA. I am kind of excited. I think we have to organize watch shifts. Plus it will be good to find out about the crime in the area. I am pretty stoked.

Cody is home!!!

My cute brother Cody just got home from his mission in New York on December 22. He is such a good kid. I am so proud of him for serving for two years, and being such a great example to his little brothers. Good job Cody! We love you!

Jeffrey LOVED the moving sidewalk at the airport. He thought it was so cool.

It was a stormy day, so his plane was delayed. We were all so anxious!

This is Amber, his girlfriend. I think she was probably the most anxious to see him :)

My mom was about ready to run up the escalator when we finally saw him.

The first time he got to hold his niece!

Tyler tried so hard to be bigger than Cody! But Cody won on height... Sorry Ty.

We need sleep!

Joel and I have been working nonstop for the past three weeks. We beat our record in December for the most appraisals done in one month! That's great, but we averaged about four hours of sleep a night. This picture of Joel was taken at about four in the morning after a night of working. That's why our blog has not been very exciting lately.

Hope every one had a very Merry Christmas and a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
