Summer of 2009!!!!

Sorry it has been awhile. But here it goes....

Sienna is almost a year old and is so cute! She is walking, actually quite fast, but if she wants to get somewhere really, really fast, she'll crawl. She is starting to talk, saying words like: mom, mat, what, yum, good, and words like that. She is always happy and very busy. She also waves hi/bye to anyone. Gavin is as usual a troublemaker. He is now four years old. He is like any other boy except he has hearing problems, but is getting better. Loves his little sister, wrestling, and wrestling his little sister. Jonah is now ten, he has earned his bear, and four silver arrows, he was awarded the class director award at the end of the school year. He is having fun this summer playing with his friends. Mat is as skinny as ever, he is 12, he did track for the first time and did really well, he was awarded the John Handcock award for best handwriting, Rookie of the Year award, and others. He has a job this summer cleaning yards. I (McKayla) am almost 14, broke my foot again, at the end of the school year I was awarded: Honor Roll, Outstanding Citizenship, and some others. I have a job this summer baby-sitting a little girl named Charlie. I'm really sad that I broke my foot again because I can't do all of the stuff that I was going to do, but oh well. My mom (Amy) had surgery on her nose to get it fixed from Gavin breaking it. She is working at the Post Office, she's Cub Scout Master, and 16-year-old Sunday School Class. She also has to take care of a husband, five kids, and a dog; she stays busy. My dad is finishing school, doing honey-do's and helping with everything. Well, that's what is going on in our family this summer, as you can tell we are really busy. Have fun this summer, but stay safe.

With Love,
The Gonder Family
Guy, Amy, McKayla, Mat, Jonah, Gavin, Sienna, and Oliver
