Here is an update on each of us...
Seth is still working in Layton(about 1 hour from our home) for Enterprise as the branch manager.
Laurel has her hands full with the boys and working part-time doing hair.
Parker keeps us entertained daily with his energetic personality. He loves preschool and the opportunity to learn. He also loves Ben 10, playing with his omnitrix(which changes him into 10 super cool alien dudes), being a brother, birthday parties, sharing time, exerting his independence, wrestling with dad, eating sushi, and playing superheroes with Mitchell.
Mitchell can say anything you tell him too. He is our little parrot. He is loving his role as the little brother at our house. He spends his days imitating Parker, who loves having a playmate and is always watching out for him. Some other things Mitchell loves are dinosaurs, fish or any other animal for that matter, candy(what sane child doesn't?), cuddling, and reading books.

We hope each of you remember how much you mean to us during this holiday season. Happy Holidays!
Love,
Seth, Laurel, Parker, and Mitchell
