The only constant in life is change and for us there has been much.


1st change New house: Nick and Christi closed on a single wide trailer on Crouch Mesa. It sits on a lot not quite an acre and has a great view of Angle Peak and in a short walk you can see Shiprock and most the basin. We are about as smack dab in the middle of the tri-city area. It has four bedrooms and two bathes yippee! Donna chose to stay at Joylynn so only Naya and Ahonora share a room. For those who don't have it our new address is: #5 CR 3149 Aztec NM 87410


2nd change New school: with our new house came a new school district but no we are not in Aztec schools instead the kids go to Farmington schools, specifically Country Club. Well Fi does, Dreigan is currently in an interim program housed at Rocinate, while Farmington schools make head and tails of his IEP and what is best for Drei.

3rd change New pets: At the end of July we brought home a dog. Christi's cousin was having to get rid of her beloved dog, so we are now the proud owners of a beautiful dog names Heske. He is sweet and generally well behaved. Then the first week of August Christi went to work and found the mama cat there had been hit by a car and killed so she brought home 3 3-week-old kitten to which the family have lovingly nursed them. Their names are Odette, Cottonwood and Stormy. Then last week after a fateful trip to the vet hospital we brought home a five week old kitten that had been found in the hospital's horse corral. The children have named him Boba Fett.

4th change Lost pets: Fionna's beloved calico Aurora disappeared.

She was sad but loves her new kitten Odette. Then last week stormy became very sick. When he did move he cried. Last Monday we found him in the litter box frothing at the mouth. Nick and Christi rushed him to the vet hospital, where the vet announced he had a congenital defect now allowing him to pee. Nick and Christi were then faced with two choices to try some very expensive treatment that may not work or put him out of his misery now. We had a quiet funeral in the backyard for Stormy's short little life. His death is how we came by Boba Fet.
At this point have you lost count on our animal count. Well here it is four kids, 1 dog, and 6 cats. The lord has graced us indeed. Nick and Christi knew there would always be pets they just have to wonder how many.

5th change Hearing Aides: Fionna got hearing aides. They have helped her so much.


6th Change Weddings: Both Nick's Brother Ben and Christi's sister Becca

had their wedding ceremonies this summer in which all the kids and Nick participated.


Christ was matron of honor in Becca's ceremony. We were also invited to more. Sorry Shannon we missed yours. Amanda yours was amazing we all had a great time.

Other than that all is pretty much the same. Christi still runs the cub scout pack and girl scout troop in Bloomfield which make us a tri-city family. Nick runs the Webelos den.

If you want popcorn candy/nuts or magazines let us know as both scout groups are selling them for fund raisers
