Well, it's almost been a year since I last posted anything! I last wrote about Ammon. Well, Ammon is still on his mission and doing great, Autumn has graduated from college and Hunter is a sophomore at American Fork High School. It has been a stellar year for the Orchard Family!

During this past year, we've seen and visited with many friends and family and have enjoyed every minute of it. We love you all and miss the ones we haven't had a chance to visit. Hopefully, this next year, our paths will cross.

Steve's health is doing good and I'm keeping busy at work. It's only January and the swimsuit biz is already picking up! Check it out when you get a chance. (hapari.com) Steve is still working as a computer programmer and loving it.

Don't get me wrong. We've had our struggles this last year, but in the end, the Lord has truly blessed us.

Well, we did the "Stop, Drop, & Roll" at the MTC with Ammon. What an experience. There is no greater joy, than to see your children living righteously. It is "Pure Joy". Good luck Ammon. We love you and are proud of you!

At my work, we are getting very busy!! Come see me or visit us online. www.hapari.com

Okay! Ammon is going to Portland Oregon, Spanish Speaking. His farewell is March 14th at 11 am. In American Fork, UT, on the corner of 300 West 700 North. Hope to see all there!!

Ammon got his mission call today. He'll open it tonight.

Here are some pics from Jamaica and of my car. Hunter named it Stacee.

This started out right. With a trip to Jamaica. I love Jamaica. Hunter even got to go Scuba Diving and loved it. Then we went to Bryce Canyon, Moab, and Idaho, to see Autumn. (She is doing great.)

Then for my birthday, I got a bright red convertible Mustang! I love it!! When I first got it, I couldn't sleep for 3 nights. lol

Autumn is still at BYU Idaho, Ammon is at USU and working on his mission papers, and Hunter is in the 9th grade.

We are keeping busy.

All is well with us and we are looking forward to hearing from all of you.
