Family Picture 2011








This was our Christmas card and here it our letter

  The King Families Top Ten of 2011
(In no particular order)
- Hunter was born. On June 29th Hunter was born. He has been such a blessing to our family. The older kids are great with him and love to help out. Hunter is growing so fast it's a little hard to take. He is always our happy smiling boy that melts your heart. He is starting to eat real food and sit up on his own. He also likes to roll over and play with his toes.
- The girls started Kindergarten.  Sharlee and Kaia turned 5 this summer and started school in August. They both have the same amazing teacher that calls them her go to girls. We are impressed at how fast they are learning . They know all of their letters and sounds, and how to count to 100. They are working on their words. With their practicing, Ryder has started catching on too.
- The older kids started gymnastics. Sharlee, Kaia and Ryder started gymnastics in September and they love it. The girls are catching on quick and making progress. Ryder loves being able to climb, jump and run around. This is right up his alley. He has advanced to the point that he is in the 5 year old class even though he wont be 3 until January.
- Adam finished the fire academy. At the beginning of the year Adam started a fire academy with Rescue, Ca Fire Department. In May he graduated and now he volunteers there 3 times a month. We are all proud of all the hard work that he does.
- River Trip. In May the Langton side of the family all went to the river. It was a great trip full of fun and good times.
- Backyard Redo. Starting in the spring we redid all 3 sides of our fence and cut down an over-sized tree in the backyard. We were also able to do our very first garden the kids had fun planting seeds and watching them grow. They also liked picking the vegetables when they were ready. We have also rotor- tilled the backyard, planted grass and made a play area.
- Family and Friends. This year we were happy that so many of our family and friends could come and visit us. It is so nice to have them around and we truly appreciate their love in our lives.
- Staycation. All throughout this year we have been able to enjoy the many wonderful things around us. We have been to 3 museums, 2 zoos, a couple of hikes, a few parks including some very fun spray parks, San Francisco, the Muirwoods forest and we have gone to the lake a number of times. And we can't forget the many hours that we spent in Grandma and Grandpa's swimming pool.
 - Apple Hill. Apple hill is one of our favorite places to go. In the winter we go to play and sled in the snow. This summer we went and picked blueberries. This fall we go and pick yummy juicy apples and come the holidays we go and cut down our tree. Many great memories.
 - Our Savior. We are thankful for the gospel in our life that we get to enjoy all year long. And we know what a blessing it is to us. We are thankful for this time of the year when we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
We wish you all the Merriest Christmas this year.
                                                          Love, Adam- Shawnelle- Sharlee- Kaia- Ryder & Hunter
