Happy New Year! 2009 in review!

We hope our letter this year finds you all healthy and happy. A lot has happened this year for our family and we are so grateful to have received the blessings we did. Much has changed and a lot more will change coming up. Here is what we have all been up to this past year.

Justin: recently promoted to Senior Airman in June and is preparing to take the Staff Sergeant test in May of 2010. He’s been hard at work and also enjoyed their softball season, in which his squadron team made it to the Championship! Go Rattlers!! His youngest sister got married at the end of May so we got to take our family vacation with him to that and got to go to Disneyland afterwards! He also had surgery on Nov. 19 to have his patella tendon cleaned up. They think come February he’ll be able to run again. We are so proud of how hard he works.

Tiffany: completed her fitness training program at CNM and has enjoyed her time as being a stay at home mom. She does keep busy though. She took a trip in August with her mom to Pennsylvania and they had a lot of fun driving there. They stopped in Nauvoo along the way. Tiffany also got to go to Washington D.C. with her mom and Holly to see our Nation’s capitol. Upon her return we had discovered that she was going to be expecting our second child. She recently received a call to be the Assistant Base Activities Coordinator for the LDS families in our ward that live on base. Tiffany also keeps busy with the Squadron Spouses’ Group and helps boost the morale of our squadron.

Holly: is learning to read and is preparing herself for Kindergarten next year. She cannot wait to start school and works very hard on her lessons with her mom. She certainly enjoyed all her trips this year between Disneyland and Pennsylvania. We figured out that she’s been to 22 states and she’s only 5! Wow! She is very excited to be a big sister next year and practices on our friends’ babies. Holly has enjoyed being in our new home as well. We moved across the base and she loves her new room and loves being closer to the playgrounds and her future school.

We are looking forward to the next year and to the arrival of our little girl! May the Lord continue to bless you all and have a great holiday season.

Love,
The Mittons—Justin, Tiffany, Holly, & Rylie
