Welcome Home Dad!!!

YEAH!!!!! Jason is finally done with the police academy!!! His last day was Wednesday. He finished at noon and got home about 5pm. To say that we are excited is an understatement! He has been in Sandy (4 hours away) since May 12 attending POST so that he could become a certified deputy for the Washington County Sherrif's Department. He has been working at the jail in booking since November as a civilian employee, but this will now enable him to make a little more money and be able to eventually go out on the street doing patrol. He has been able to come home each Friday night and leave again on Sunday afternoon which has made it a little more bearable. But the drive was very exhausting for him so he is grateful to be home for good. We missed him tremendously but are so proud of what he has accomplished!!!!

Our Little Biography

Hello! We are the Little Family!! Jason and I met in August of 1999 while on a group bowling date at Sunset West. I was smitten and head over heels in love. We got engaged in March 2000 and were married on November 18, 2000. We currently live in Washington, Utah in an awesome neighboorhood full of little ones. We have 2 children: Bailee, 4 (Born: November 19, 2003) and Brecken, 2 (Born: May 17, 2006). Bailee is currently attending Little Bug Preschool and absolutely adores her teacher Miss Amber. She is a very independent little girl and is very eager to learn. She jumps at every chance to do homework. She loves to do anything involving the arts: singing, dancing, painting, drawing, cutting, glueing, etc. She has taken several dance and tumbling classes and continually impresses us with her artistic abilities. She also loves sports! She did a Smart Start Soccer class this spring and enjoyed it very much. She is very easy to please and generally likes to do just about anything. Her favorite things to play with are her friends, My Little Ponies, Barbies and anything dress-up. She is our little princess! She loves to watch Strawberry Shortcake, Barbie and anything Disney. She is a wonderful big sister to Brecken and is always willing to help him out. We love you Bailee! Brecken is our little bug! He is all boy and into everything! He adores his big sister and follows her everywhere. She doesn't always enjoy this but is very kind and involves him anyways. His favorite things to do are play with his cars and trains, dig in the sandbox, go for walks/bike rides and help out mom and dad. He is also very easy to please and is content doing anything as long as he is with Bailee or one of us. He is growing up so fast and amazes us everyday with what he is learning. He loves to watch Blues Clues, Mickey Mouse, Baby Einstein and Thomas the Train. He looks up to his big sister and will one day make a great big brother! We love you Brecken! Jason is currently working part-time at St. George Police Dispatch and full-time at Washington County Sherrif's Dept. in the jail. He goes to the police academy in May and will go from Civilian to Deputy. This will enable him to go to the street if he decides to pursue that position. In his very little spare time he loves to run and be in the outdoors: hiking, biking, camping, etc. He is a fabulous husband and father! I am so blessed!! I am still working part-time at Harmons in the Pharmacy as a cashier. It is just enough to get me out of the house one day a week to have some adult interaction and keep my sanity. I couldn't ask for a more laid back, relaxing job to have. I thoroughly enjoy it! Although there are days that I dread going in because I don't want to leave the family, I do have several days were I look forward to going in because I feel like I am going to lose it. I love to scrapbook but wish I had more time. I also love to crochet, read, clean (I know, weird huh?), do anything outdoors, watch movies and play games. My all-time favorite love though is being a mom. It is not easy but it is definetely worth it! My kids' mean the world to me!! They put a smile on my face and always keep me laughing! Kids are the root of all happiness! We are so lucky to have one another! We hope you have enjoyed reading a little about our family. We are so grateful to have such terrific family and friends in our lives! We love you!!!
