Life in the Toone Household

Update with our Family. Life with 5 daughters, 3 dogs and 1 saltwater aquarium is always busy and eventful. We enjoy the constant chaos and change that is thrown our way weekly.

Lauren & Lee always busy with life as high schoolers and young women growing into lovely adults. Lauren with morning classes at the high school and afternoon hairstyling at Boulder Tech, keeps her very busy and excited for her future. She is confident and outgoing. Strives to be a good leader in her role a Section Leader for the flutes during this year as a Junior. Lee is gaining momentum and strength after the initial phase of Mono. Exhaustion is still a threat, but school attendance is improving and she is able to stay on top of assignments much better. We decided that participating in school Basketball for the winter season would not be wise in her attempt to recoup and prepare for Soccer this spring.

Season being our only middle school kid, is a delightful and friendly 'tween'. She has felt so grown up since being able to join the Young Women program, being 12 has it's advantages. School is a struggle for her. Organization and focus have not been strengths for her, we work daily on improvement. She is making real effort and is beginning to enjoy success.

Sariah has really launched in 1st grade. Reading everything including her scriptures, is something she works on constantly. She is very bright and we have begun to call her a sponge. I have heard that she is very respectful and obeys the rules at school. I often wonder where that goes during the drive home everyday.

Sheridan and I are enjoying our time together. She has never had me to herself as all of the other girls have experienced at one time or another. Her health this year so far, has been outstanding! Everyone else in the house, other than Daddy, has been pretty sick or injured. It has been exciting to see her enjoy the Fall and now, Winter weather! I feel bad that I have been the one sick and we haven't been able to do the little things that I look forward to when they are little like this.

I am truly grateful for my Honey, Ken. He is a dedicated, hardworking man. He very seldom will 'veg' out. It really drives me nuts sometimes. Business is going well enough that he really needs an assistant to free up his time to work his leads and continue to service his clients like they have become accustomed.

We have been blessed with a delightful family! Our children are respectful and kind to others, (at home is often a little different though). We feel the Lord and his blessings in our lives. Baby steps have strengthen us and made us better people and a stronger family unit. We love the Lord and recognize His hand in this growth.
