Melanie & Elliot 2013

Hello Humpherys Family-
This past year I felt like I was pregnant all year long.  I was asking Elliot what happened last year and that’s what he said, “You were pregnant.” Ha!
Some Highlights of the year for us were, Elliot’s little sister got married and I helped decorate for the reception, We found out I was pregnant in February, Stephanie came to visit 3 times (not enough but I’ll take what I can get), we told my family I was pregnant on Easter Sunday they were all so surprised, Josie graduated Kindergarten, we had to buy a van and I didn’t think I’d like it but it’s awesome. We went to Lake Powell like we do every year to visit the lake and Elliot’s grandparents, Josie started First grade in September, and last but not least Wesley Ray was born in October.
I was called to be the Primary President a year ago in October after serving 2 years as the 1st counselor. I enjoy being in the primary but I am not sure about being in charge, I’d rather have someone else just tell me what to do. I’ve kept busy doing sewing projects, and lots of organizing to get ready for the baby. A lot of my friends moved away this past summer and that was hard. I was also busy with my girls trying to keep up with them all year being big and pregnant.
Elliot just got released as the ward financial clerk and is now the ward athletic director his dream calling. He just started school at the UofU to finish his bachelor as a Certified Financial Planner. He keeps busy with me and the kids, going to the gym and watching his UFC and ball games.
Josie just turned 7 and she has lost a total of 8 teeth.  This past summer she learned how to Rollerblade and took her first swimming lessons. She’s very coordinated and did great. She also started piano lessons this summer and is doing very well. She is very musically talented just like her dad. Josie is a sweetheart and wants to be everyone’s friend.  She helps me out a lot and she plays pretty well with her little sister (when she’s in the mood)
Carly learned how to ride a bike with training wheels this past summer and loved it. She loves playing with friends, dancing, and making her family laugh. Carly is a little too smart for her own good but she keeps us on our toes. She started preschool in December and has enjoyed that. She tells me every time I pick her up that she’s the only good kid in her class.
Wesley “Wes” Ray Decker was born October 23rd 2013 at 8:05 am he weighed 9 lbs 13 oz and was almost 22 inches long. No wonder I was so uncomfortable. The doctor started laughing when he came out, she couldn't believe how big he was. I would describe Wes as baby that knows what he wants. He is always hungry, not the best sleeper but he makes up for it with his smile. He smiles even when he’s upset. He is very happy once all his needs are met. He loves to laugh and he’s starting to play with toys. We are so happy to have him in our family, the girls just adore him.
We hope to see everyone at the reunion!
Love,

Elliot, Melanie, Josie, Carly and Wesley Decker
