It's that time of year...

Hey everybody!
I just wanted to let everyone know that its time for the family reunion. Dad (Jason) and family are in charge this year. The dates to save are July 10th - July 13th. Please look for further information by mail, email, or on the blog. We hope to see you all there. Love you all.

Dollar Baby Update

We had our second ultrasound this week and we have a healthy baby! One of the babies didn't keep growing, so there wasn't a heartbeat or anything, but, it shouldn't affect the healthy baby. I got to see a strong heartbeat and a baby about the size of a bean, it was so great! We are feeling so blessed to have a strong baby!

Also, I guess the measurements were off from the last ultrasound, so they changed the due date, the baby is due on January 3rd, which only increases the chances of having a Christmas baby. I, personally, hope, the baby is born long before Christmas, Alex was 4 1/2 weeks early and Wes was 3 1/2 weeks early, neither had any complications, so as far as I'm concerned, the last month is unnecessary. LOL

Anyway, yeah for baby!

Jeannie and Jason Family Update

Jeannie and Jason's family have been very busy. All the kids and their activities keep mom and dad going. For those who havn't heard Jeannie's exciting news she has a new job. Mom is now working for a TMJ specialist and will be learning a lot of new things. Her schedule sounds like it will be just as flexible and her hours will be better so she can be home with the kids in the afternoon. Dad is staying busy with work. He is also Asst. Coach for Hunter's baseball team. Mom and dad have also been busy with 2 very active grand daughters.
If you have read the Gardiner update you know what Paul and Kelci have been up to.
Whitney just moved to Serengetti Springs Apartments in West Jordan. They are brand new apartments and are still under construction. She works at Working RX with Sarah. Whitney has also been enjoying the single life.Whitney is looking forward to a cruise next month with Paul and Kelci. She also has Nikki to keep her busy. Nikki is 3 years old and enjoys her new pre school and gymnastics. She also went to a new ward on Sunday and has made many new friends. One of them being my (Kelci) nephew. They are now in my sister in laws ward. I thought that was kind of funny. Nikki is total girly girl. She loves make up and nails. She's very energetic and talkative.
Sarah moved in with JJ and they now live in the Monarch Meadows Apartments in Herriman. Sarah is still working at Working RX. I believe JJ is in Construction or something like that. (Sorry if wrong) Sarah wanted me to let you know she has a new email address. You can reach her at sarah.porter@fiserv.com Sarah has been busy with a very active 1 1/2 year old. Halle is extremely energetic. She loves to talk and play at grandmas. She has total personality. Sarah and JJ are looking forward to a trip to Vegas at the end of this month. They are going for JJ's birthday which is April 20th.
Joe and CJ have been busy being teenage boys. They are both really into music. Joe is in the Men's Choir at Bingham. He has his spring concert this Friday the 18th at the Presbyterian church downtown Salt Lake. He thinks its at 7:00 but will find out all info tomorrow night. He made A Capella next year. Joe is also learning to play the guitar. He and CJ both love going to concerts and hanging out with friends. CJ is in choir at Elk Ridge. He is also a very talented artist. At least I think so. He has some amazing drawings. The boys are just being boys.
Courtney has been doing good. She is into riding motorcycles right now. She just got one fixed up and has been learning to ride. Her and her friends take trips to the desert to go riding.
Cassie's life has been dance. She is on a dance team. She has performed a lyrical and hip hop. She most recently competed in a competition in St. George. Her team took 4th place out of 20.
Hunter's life is all sports. He is currently in baseball and basketball. Both teams are undefeated. He is in the third grade and is enjoying that.
That pretty much wraps up the Jason Allred family. We were able to get together and celebrate/remember Hayden's birthday last weekend. We have a tradition where we meet at the cemetery and have a quick prayer and send of balloons that we all write messages on. We also enjoy the fact that we live so close and can get together often for family events. We love our Sunday dinners.
Dad wanted me to remind you of the family reunion. It is July 10th-12th at Ferron. They are still working out the details. He says to look for more updates. Mark your Calendars. We love you all.

Gardiner Update

Hey Everyone! I just thought i'd write and let you know what Paul and I have been up to. Tomorrow we are celebrating our 3rd anniversary. I can't believe how time flies by.
Paul is going to school full time to get his doctorate in Psychology. His hope is to have his own practice when all is done and over with. He also works full time at Fed Ex Kinkos. He stays busy with work and school.
I am currently working at the SMART Clinic. It is a pain management clinic. I work full time in the Physical therapy department. I also sell Mary Kay on the side. I love doing that. If anyone wants to order something or look through the catalogs I'm your girl. I am not currently in school but am looking into going back and going into elementary education.
Paul and I have both recently received new callings in our ward. Paul is now a ward missionary and also teaches the gospel essentials class. I went from YW Camp Director to Secretary in the Primary Presidency.
We have been very busy and Paul has been studying hard. We are looking forward to a vacation next month. We are going to go to Disneyland and also on a Cruise. Its part of our anniversary celebration. We are going to D-Land for a weekend then Whitney and my sister in law Rachael are meeting us in Cali and going on a cruise. It will be fun. Thats our life for now.
