Dave Hiatt Family




DREW is just as farsighted as Cameron was and is now the proud owner of glasses as of August. The first week was awful but he gets along just fine now with them. He finally realized that he can see. The only bummer is now when we go to the store he points at everything and says "MeMeMe" or if he is lazy he shortens it to "Meem". That is how he tells us he wants something. Everything is a puppy but he knows all the animal sounds he just can't say what it is, so it's puppy. He loves to play in the tupperware drawer and throw it everywhere. He loves his family and we love him, you would never know he is the youngest and the center of attention.

CAMERON is still Cameron, full of energy and makes us all laugh. He is an excellent reader and has done some outstanding book reports. He is doing well in school and is a friend to all. He does is fair share of complaining and he likes to fight with Stockton. He finished flag football and is now starting basketball. We are very excited as this is our entertainment, watching our kids play sports. I think Drew hasn't figured out the finer points of these fine activities. We are working on that.

STOCKTON is growing like a weed and eats more than triple his body weight each day in food. He finished tackle football and made the 8th grade all star team, but ended up being the ball boy because he suffered a knee injury playing handball. He is fully healed and played his first basketball game Saturday. They lost but he had 5 rebounds and some played some really good "D". He also got their 1st point on the board. He is a really good guitar player and is a straight A student.

DAVE had surgery on his ankle in August and couldn't put any weight on his ankle for an entire month. He was then on crutches for another 30 days after that. He can finally walk mostly normal and was able to start regular activities again on December 7. He went to Quincy, IL the 10-14 of December for some training for work. He was just called as the Young Men's President. Between the morning show, operations manager, firing and hiring people, dealing with corporate and their ridiculous budget requests, church and who knows what else, he does have some time to sleep. He is also feeling is age at 40, he is the proud owner of a new pair of bi-focals. He said that was worse than turning 40.

TISH is busy chasing Drew and running boys to various practices and lessons. She is also working at the law office but at home now and is the secretary in Primary. She keeps us all fed, makes sure our clothes are mostly clean, tells us where we need to be and when to be there and tries not to forget anything, like picking Stockton up from school. He called at 3 pm (school is out at 2:45) and asked, "Where are you? She said where am I supposed to be, oh yeah, I'll be right there. " That has only happened once.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

Somehow this came through underneath Jordan's pictures, but as I copied it to keep an electronic copy--I just don't always access to the internet so I want the family information available whenever--I got the whole story.

We love the update! And the pictures! We wonder, of course, why Dave needed ankle surgery. And it just doesn't seem possible that he had another over-the-hill birthday. He can just keep turning 39.

We're looking forward to the 11AM MST chat on Christmas day.

Love,
Mom--Sharon--Grandma Hiatt

Sorry about the running over of Jordan's post. I think it's fixed now.

Fun to read your update and see pics of the boys! Drew might be starting a trend- Asia might be wearing glasses too, we'll find out next week. Happy New Year!
