Completed: December 15, 2011
This year has been quite an adventure for our little family. We still live in Lehi in a house we bought in 2010. We had a lot of vacationing this year. In January we went to see TJ and Megan and their family in Denver. We also went and stayed with Jeff and Marci in Logan for a night. I traveled to Michigan to see my brother in law Ben and sister in law Sarah and their kids in June. I also went on a girls trip with my mom and sisters and kiddos to St. George for a week. Nate had the opportunity to go to Alaska and fish with my dad and brothers. He caught a King Salmon on his first catch and had a great time. We are sure enjoying our freezer full of fish. He got back the day before our little girl was born, perfect timing.
Nate changed companies from STC to Battelle. He still works in Tooelle and drives an hour to and from work. He does carpool with some people so that helps with gas money. We love his job, even though sometimes the hours are hard. He works 14 days in a 28 day period, 7 of them are days (4am to 7pm) and 7 of them are nights (4pm to 7am), he also has 14 days off (7 in a row). It is really nice to have him home a lot and the kids get to spend so much time with him now.
I love being home with the kids everyday. I also watch Wyatt’s friend Ayden on Tues, Wed and Thursdays. It is really nice and the boys just play together. I enjoy crafting and blogging. Last year I started a craft blog which I manage as well as my other two blogs. I would love for anyone to check them out and become followers! These are the web addresses:

Wyatt who turned three in April went to preschool this summer. It was a great way to distract him from the new arrival coming. He loves Mickey Mouse and Spiderman (who he dressed as for Halloween). This summer he also did Itty Bitty Baseball. He was so cute and enjoyed playing a lot. He was really excited to get his baseball shirt and pictures taken. Wyatt enjoyed spending lots of time with his cousins this year. Wyatt looks just like his daddy and his demeanor is no different. He is very polite when he wants to be and a night owl like his mom.
Graycie Elnora Wagstaff joined our family on July 16th, 2011, one week early. She weighed a whopping 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 19 inches long. She came out with a full head of dark hair with blonde highlights, which she still has. She loves her brother and loves all the attention she gets from him. She won’t sleep at night unless you put her into her jammies. Graycie sleeps all night and has since she was about a month and a half old. Everyone says she looks just like me. Our families like to joke that we got another perfect child and they don’t know how or why.
We love our little family and can’t wait to see what next year brings for us. (We are hoping a move to Colorado) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love,
Nate, Allie, Wyatt and Graycie Wagstaff
