Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all from the Epperson's,
Tim, Pennie, and Spencer
This has been a couple of eventful years for us here. 2 grand daughters in
the space of a few months. Alex and Megan brought us Alexis Lee, and Levi
and Alyssa, Aubrey Liana. With their boys that means 6 grandkids, Isaac,
Eric, Brodie and Conner, Alexis and Aubrey. They are all doing well.
The year 2010 has brought much more news. Alex has joined USARMY, active
duty and will report for basic in February 2011. Gone for at least 3 months.
Plenty in store for his family this next year, that Eagle Scout rank bumped
him to an E-3. Megan is doing well and looking at staying busy (read 3
kids!) while Alex is gone...plenty of service opportunities there. Wonderful
kids, great parents looking to the future...Brodie loves all books and is
such a talker and known for those blue eyes. Conner is the dancer and such a
charmer. Lexie has us all eating out of her hand and is a little princess.
So grateful we have these three so close. What a chance to see their little
faces change.
Levi and Alyssa and brood have made the change of address from Spanish Fork
to Orem. Great opportunity and very close commute for Levi. Great house and beautiful and spacious backyard, with basement apartment for added income.. Alyssa is teaching piano lessons. Wasn't it just the other day she was sitting down for HER first lesson...... I regress in memory...Isaac started Kindergarten this year and Eric loves pre-school...so that leaves
Aubrey with Alyssa alone most of the day... nine months old and already walking! We only get to see them a few times each year but they are memorable times, outdoors and enjoying Utah together. Those boys love the outdoors.
Spencer turned 16 this year and a personality explosion happened. Ordained
a Priest. He's doing very well in school, went on 2 scouting Hi-adventures (Matagorda
Island off the Texas coast, and Teton Base in Wyoming). Monsoon storms to
whitewater rafting and a lot of traveling. He just became an Eagle
Scout...yes! Will wait for his brother to come back from basic to have the Court of Honor.
He loves going on team-ups with the missionaries. Seems to have
grown a foot recently. He loves working out, playing video games and teasing his mom. Seminary is our start of the day, and we usually end the night talking before bedtime. His passion is swimming and hard work in construction. Has much ambition in that field. Plenty of
friends and loves the church social scene, very involved on the Stake level.
Pennie is now involved in the Cub scouting side of life as a Den leader.
The boys love her, can you blame them..... Still making 4:30am wake up call
for work at Collection, Etc. Etc, Etc, etc..... She has plenty to do with 6
grandkids and so many projects around the house.
The house...storms the last couple of years have had us put on a new
roof, trim the trees, get rid of unwanted evergreens and try and keep the
fence up. The pool will need a new liner this year but is needed, as we love
all to hang out here in the summer months.
Well, that leaves me 30 years at The Eagle, will move to a new assignment
this year sometime in the News department working on the Presentation Team.
Outsourcing some positions in our department made me look around and was
presented with this opportunity. Started a part time job at the local Arena
this year and am having a blast working the concerts and events. Still
involved a little in scouting, okay a lot scouting, with Council and
district levels and our troop on the committee. Love the outdoors and is my
escape, but really paid the price this summer with the Hi-adventure to
Texas ended up in a battle with old oyster shells and it led to 15 stitches
in my hands. Nice birthday present.
We love you all; wish the merriest of Christmas and a very happy 2011 NewYear. The Gospel is true and so are our friends.
