Sudar Family Year in Review 2007

We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. We have had some fun changes in our family in 2007 and we would like to share some of them with you.
Little Lily was born back in June and she has proven to be quite a little sweetheart. She smiles and laughs at anything Calvin does and she sounds just like a little motor boat when she blows her spit bubbles. We just love her to pieces.
Calvin turned two, talks a lot and may as well be the solution to the next power crisis (If we could only harness his energy to make electricity). He is very entertaining, albeit hard to keep up with, but we never have a dull moment. Calvin enjoys swinging, watching Bob the Builder, and stopping by construction sites to ask if he can drive the heavy equipment. He is also a very big Shrek fan and can name all the characters and quote some of their lines. “Get out of my swamp!”
Chrissy, although the mother of two energetic little munchkins, is still hard at work doing real estate and keeping the house looking awesome. Speaking of real estate Chrissy found us an awesome new home in Pleasant Grove just a couple of miles away from our old one. We have a shed for all of my car junk, a swing set for Calvin, and a hot tub when we need to relax. We love it here.
I have been busy with school. I just finished my Bachelor’s degree in Technology Management and got a new job as a water treatment operator at the Utah Valley Plant. I am now a retired automotive technician and I like it that way.
We wish you all a very wonderful New Year filled with excitement and happiness.
Love, Jon, Chrissy, Calvin and Lily

Calvin saying the alphabet

Calvin has been singing his ABC's for a couple of months now. He sure is getting smart. I love how he dances when he sings. And of course he always has to have his tools with him. I wonder where he gets that from :)

Finally Finished

Well, I'm sitting here at the computer and I just emailed off the last of my assignments. I just have to wait for my grades now and pray I passed accounting. Finishing my bachelor's degree was fairly anti-climatic. I was a little disappointed. Graduation is not until spring, so maybe that will help. Ok, I was pretty excited, but I still want to sleep for a week. I can finally return to normal life, instead of doing lots of homework every night. Somehow, I think that the void left by college will quickly be filled by Little Dilly and Calvin. That's ok. They're much more exciting than advanced project management. I think I'll be all right, at least until I decide I need a master's degree or something like that. --Jon

Dilly Laughing

This video was taken on October 15th. Somehow we managed to

get Lily's first time laughing on video.

Exciting News

It is officially Jon's last day of college. It has been a long haul for him (and us) but it is totally worth it. He has earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Technology Management from UVU. Way to Go Jon, We Love you!!!

Calvin and Mom Playing in the Snow

It was so fun to play with Calvin in the snow. He was excited to build a snowman but he had the most fun throwing snowballs at me. He would laugh hysterically everytime the snow hit me, so I just kept on letting him do it so I could hear his cute laugh.

Random pictures of our cute kids

Lily's growing up

Lily has now started eating solid food and she loves it. I can't believe how time flys. She will be 6 months old on the 22nd.

Funny Calvin

Great Things Calvin has said, still says, or used to say:

Nogut=Yogurt

igots milk= chocolate milk

hold you= Hold me

One day while jumping on the bed he bit his tongue, without skipping a beat he leaned over and said "Mom, Kiss it better" and stuck his tongue right infront of my face.

Funny Calvin

This section is called Funny Calvin because I am only going to write about funny things Calvin does and put them in here.

***The other day Calvin put Jon's bright colorful toesocks (they went up to his armpits), a winter hat and some snow boots on, grabbed his Cabellas pop gun and said "Bye Mom." I said "Bye, Where ya goin'?" He replied "I'm going to get supper". I laughed hysterically and I still do everytime I see his little outfit and gun in my head. Where did he even learn that you hunt for supper?

***Calvin came marching into the office with two plastic gears in his hands, clapping them together and making a lot of ruckus. He said "Look mom, I have two knockers!"

Update on truck

It is two weeks later but atleast I am updating our blog. We had an unexpected sleepover in Santaquin and we didn't know if the truck would get out of the canyon or not. The next day Jon, Jesse, Josh, Derek and Joe went up the canyon and somehow got the truck out by hooking tow straps to trees and stuff. We got home about 3 o'clock on Friday. Jon will have to tell you more about it. The less I know the less I worry.
