Merry Christmas From Us!
A friend was kind enough to come over and take our annual Christmas pictures! I know I'm completely biased, but I think I have the loveliest boys ever! Merry Christmas!!!

Brogger Folks Fall 2010
Hello all! It's been a fun filled fall for us. All four of the monkeys played soccer this season. That was, in one word, intense.
Juggling 4 little boys in soccer was interesting. :)
Glad it's over.
My grandfather has been visiting from Costa Rica and we are thrilled to have him. He's a real life Go, Diego, Go! and has been regaling the boys with his tales of living among toucans, monkeys and jaguars in the rain forests of Costa Rica. Needless to say, they hang on his every word.
All the little ones are doing well. Peter is taking part in Science Olympiad this year. I am the "Propeller Projection" coach. Yeah- we'll see how that goes. Science has never been my strong suit but plowing ahead through life with my monkeys, I am always learning something new.
Piano lessons begin in January for Eric and Peter. Eric hasn't studied piano in a year so we shall see what he remembers...there are just so many things we can do at one time.
Eric, Peter, Ben and Sam Ham continue to grow into kind and brilliant people. They are all so lovely.

With apologies, I apologize.
Work is great. It is intense and though it is the same job every time I walk through the door, no two minutes are the same. I love that about what I do.
Anyhow, because of work and real life, I have found that I have spent very little time online over the past year and a half. I check email on my phone about 4 times a day and that’s about it. I really only log on to Facebook and Twitter for story tips and ideas. On the occasion that I do spend time perusing for the sake of perusing, I realize that I am really missing out. While I can generally do without people posting what they had for lunch, I notice that these social mediums can make people so far away feel so close.
As much as I enjoy reading your blogs and posts, I imagine that you, dear reader, probably miss my posts. There really are only a handful of folks that check this for updates and I guess in my thinking that the mundaneness of my life is just that, I have lapsed terribly. I apologize.
The truth is that the Brogger family has been extremely blessed. We continue to be showered with Heavenly Father’s good grace on a daily basis.
Eric is doing really well in school. I cannot believe it but he’s actually going to be 10 next month! 10!!!! Unbelievable, on so many levels. It feels like we just brought him home from the hospital yesterday. Not to mention I don’t feel a day older than 20. He is a brilliant 4th grader; bright, kind, athletic, funny and generally spectacular. He is looking forward to playing baseball very soon. We are expecting a call from the coach any day to advise what days practice will be. Here we go again…another season of sports :)
Peter is in 2nd grade this year and continues to blossom into a creative spirit. He loves acting, performing, and being the center of attention. He has had lead roles in productions lately. I am amazed at his talent for memorizing lines and his comedic timing. He def. has a flair for performance. He is well loved by everyone that knows him. His curiosity can be exhausting but he is so good natured that I can generally manage him.
My sweet Ben is in first grade. I call him Mr. 100% because he aces every spelling and math test he takes. Ben is a good friend to all. He tries his very best to be the best he can be. Ben epitomizes the Primary song, “I’m trying to be like Jesus.”In all that he does and says, Ben puts forth his very best efforts. He and Peter are BFF. I love that they are two peas in a pod and care about each other so much.
Sam is a frisky little firecracker. He refuses to wear anything that isn’t sports or super hero related. Target had a nice collection of Superhero shirts for a while. Once we bought all they had, Old Navy started carrying them. Of course, we had to buy every style in his size. 2 weeks ago in the GAP, he was thrilled to discover they too are into the superhero scene. He loves to jump and sing and dance to Justin Bieber songs. No, seriously, he has the entire choreography of “Baby, baby” down pat. It is too adorable. Sam is almost like Peter all over again…only friskier.
Dan bought me a new laptop for school this semester… I’m all set up with a one touch publishing system for blogging. So here’s to another shot.
This is a pic of me and Sam as I write this. We are watching “I love Lucy” and making funny faces with the webcam. Good night!

Happy Spring
My four foxes are growing! They are all getting so big. Peter lost a tooth yesterday. He and Ben have been losing teeth almost weekly! Here are some recent pics because it’s been a while!
