2011 Highlights

Our biggest event this year was our first international travel in March.  Tiffany, Coral, and Jessalyn went on a ten-day trip to London with Paul and Sandy Entrikin and Autumn Mondragon and her two girls over Spring Break.
Also in March, Isaac turned 12 and received the Aaronic Priesthood.  Tiffany's brother, Malachi, returned from a mission to Portugal.
In June, Tiffany's grandma passed away.  She was in assisted living here in Pocatello, and Tiffany felt very fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with her and her family who stayed with her during her last two weeks here.
We had many fun family reunions this summer.
We enjoyed an Entrikin family reunion at Three Peaks Lodge in St. Anthony.
We had good times at a Tolman Reunion in Salmon, and a Tolman Reunion in Burley.
Tiffany had the opportunity to meet some of her mom's second cousins for the first time at their reunion in Jackson Hole.
Then in August, Jessalyn started marching band and Coral started driver's training.  Coral is now working on hours for her learner's permit, so we still have no teenage drivers yet!
Jessalyn's marching band did very well this year.  They had a great program, and received second or third place in almost every competition they entered in September.
Jessalyn started high school, and she and Coral are so excited to be attending the same school!  They share a locker and meet each other for lunch and in between classes.
Isaac is attending middle school part time, and also taking home school classes.  He is learning to play the clarinet and the tuba in band.
Aysha and Emerald started attending a charter school together this year, and are enjoying it.
Joel is our last student at the elementary school next to our house, and this is his last year there.
Dallin is still at home.  He is hoping to go to school with all the other kids soon.  He is learning to get along with the 3-year-old girl that we babysit during the day, who is also the youngest in her family.
Tiffany spends most of her time picking up kids from school.  She is also the leader of the Bear Cub Scouts in our ward.
We had a lot of fun trick-or-treating this year.  We were able to attend two school carnivals and two trunk-or-treats.  Scott really enjoyed showing off the costume he built.  Well, he built the accessories, and got the uniform from good friends.
Our oldest daughter, Coral, is now 16 and has her first boyfriend.
We have enjoyed wonderful family gatherings for the holidays this year.  We had a great Thanksgiving in Salmon, and returned to spend time with the Entrikins in Pocatello.
We had our Christmas celebrations here in Pocatello, including a nice dinner with Scott's grandmother who just moved here from Florida.
