Merry Christmas 2010!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! We've had a wonderful year and been very blessed. Here are some highlights:
In January we moved from Provo to Lehi. It wasn't too far to move and we've been able to keep in touch with many of our Provo friends, which has made the move easier for Shiree.
In February, Lance and Shiree celebrated 10 years of marriage!!! They got a brand new, matching HE washer and dryer--not very romantic, we know, but oh soooo wonderful!!!
We got a pass to Thanksgiving Point and have spent many wonderfully fun days there. I'll let the photos do some talking now.




Lance is still working at Ascend Recovery and enjoying his work there. They just expanded into a new, larger facility and so his hours are increasing. He moved his Private Practice to Lehi and is enjoying working with people there as well. We’re looking forward to him graduating next year and officially becoming “Dr. Dome.” He is no longer in the Bishopric due to our move, and has a much easier calling for now. We are thankful for the break and are enjoying the time together as a family on Sundays.

Shiree has managed to mostly keep it together after moving in January. She’s spent a lot of time driving back and forth to keep in contact with her friends there. She’s also been able to make some great friends in Lehi, and is even teaching Daniel’s co-op preschool every 6 weeks. She finally learned how to make bread—Lance usually does that. Although he still decorated the house. She was called to be over the visiting teaching in the ward and enjoys the excuse to get to know people. She was able to rollerblade a lot over the summer and now is back at Curves most every day. She loves spending time reading with the kids and playing with them too.






Jenny loved moving to Lehi and finding new friends and a new school. She loves school is in 4th grade and does very well. She turned 9 and started piano. She is very talented and is progressing quickly. She loves to dance, jump, sing and do anything where she’s moving around. She read the entire Harry Potter series this last year and is almost finished with the Dragon Slippers series. She LOVES dragons!! She is a great artist and very creative. She is also a big help around the house and loves to get Becca up from bed, read to her and even occasionally bathe her.

Alex started 2^nd grade this year and likes lunch and his teacher—and that’s about it! He loves to play video games and build with legos. He also started playing the guitar, Lance is teaching him how, and they really love to jam! He’s lost 8 teeth now and is growing some of them back. He didn’t like moving at the beginning of the year, but has adjusted well now and has made some good friends.

He’s currently reading a series called Pirate School, and at school his teacher is reading the Narnia books. They are on Prince Caspian and he thinks the series is awesome! He loves to draw, cut, color and create. And he’s got really good at roller-skating over the summer. He loves to play with Becca and they laugh a lot together. We are glad he’s in our family and love him very much!

Daniel is 4 ½ now and loves any physical activity. He took his training wheels off for real this summer and can zip around as fast as lightening! He goes to preschool 2 days a week and loves playing with his preschool friends. He also has been going to a gymnastics class once a week and can do cartwheels, handstands, bridges and lots of other stuff I can’t spell. He loves sports and has participated in “Itty Bitty Sports” at the Legacy Center several times this year. He’s looking forward to Basketball in January. He is very helpful around the house and loves to help Becca—much to her dismay! He is learning to read and write and his favorite books are the Froggy books and Fly Guy books.









Becca is 19 months and her personality is beginning to shine. She is very independent and wants to feed herself and dress herself and do everything herself. She is running and trying to jump. She loves to dance and can kick one foot up in the air. She loves to smile and laugh and make funny faces and then fall down. She steals her mommy’s cell phone and ipod as often as possible to “call daddy” and play games. She loves bath time and wants to kick and splash the whole time. Her favorite books are Thomas the Train books and she loves to get one and hand it to you to read to her about 20 times. She is a delight to have in our family and we are so thrilled to be able to love her all the time.



We hope you have a wonderful 2011!! Love,
The Domes
