Prince Family Letter 2009

The Prince Family 2009
This has been a busy year for the Prince family. Of course EVERY year is busy, but this one seemed more so than normal.

We started the year by buying a house in Provo, Utah.
It is a wonderful house and we’ve enjoyed making it our home.

In February we were broken in as home owners when our sewer line needed replaced. Luckily the company we bought the home from took care of it for us.
Carrie finally agreed to owning a game system, so we bought a Wii, that all of us have enjoyed playing all year.
And we celebrated Von’s 2nd birthday with a Snowman cake.

In March we had the boys pictures taken.
Von learned how to turn all the books in the bookcase on their sides.
And Carrie was called to be the Secretary in our Ward Relief Society.

In April we had lots of fun with puzzles, and celebrated Karl’s 29th birthday.

In May Karl earned his degree. He now has a Master of Business Administration, with an emphasis in Accounting. He is working at AES Systems as their Chief of Finance.
He also learned how to run a heavy duty roto-tiller and broke up the weeds in the backyard.

In June we had a couple traffic jams (of the matchbox car variety),
and train wrecks (gotta love GeoTrax).

In July Karl started putting together our patio in the backyard (with Carrie’s Dad’s help).

In August Karl put up our gazebo,
and finished the patio, (with Carrie’s brother’s help).
We also went on a trip to San Diego (that Karl won from KBULL 93) and met Toby Keith,
saw the San Diego Temple,
went to Lego Land,
and saw the beach.
We also celebrated our 6th Anniversary.

In September the boys got to have a “campout” in the Living Room,

In October we celebrated Kaleb’s 5th birthday with a car cake,
went on a “hay ride” to pick pumpkins,
and dressed up as Lightning McQueen’s Pit Crew and Super Why.

In November Kaleb got glasses and we put a swing-set and sod in the backyard.
Carrie’s tummy completed its growth,
And we welcomed Klarence Edward Prince into our family
(born 11/20/2009, 10 lbs 2 oz, 21 inches).

In December we had Eddie’s baby blessing,
Carrie got a 4.0 in her classes for the semester,
sent Carrie’s parents on their mission to Mesa Arizona,
And we celebrated Christmas.

It has been a great year for us,
we hope it was for you as well.
Have a great year!
Love,
Karl, Carrie, Kaleb, Von & Eddie Prince
