The Billsy Bunch Better Late Than Never

Well, what can I say, we are in super slow motion when it comes to technology and the www (world wide whatever!) We have finally agreed that we are the last in the family to advance, but needing to share our lives with those we love. I have heard however, that last is the best in all game! he he!! Must be true!! So, hang on to your seats for a quick spin and update!

Jared is still working as a full time firefighter! He has over 10 years now and is loving every minute of it. It is hard sometimes to see and try to comprehend what people can do to one another! Being a firefighter paramedic gives much satisfaction, but takes a toll on a persons general outlook on people! Thank heavens for the example of our savior who has shown through his example of loving your neighbor at all costs! Jared also continues to work as a real estate agent and a mortgage lending professional. What a feeling to be able to help people get into a home without taking them to the cleaners. Sometimes would be nice not make every sale or closing a charity event. A little extra cash from time to time would be fun!!!! In his spare time, He and Tracy continue to build their new home. Almost there.... stay on target....stay on target...stay on target!!!!!
The kids sporting events, school activities, and church functions are his love and entertainment. But, I know deep down inside he has hunting, fishing, and huge adventures on his mind!

Tracy is still the most well rounded woman you know! She continues to work tirelessly as a full time mother, wife, and leader in our home. Teaching our children about life, hardwork, sacrifice, and the gospel. She teaches them through example and service. She also has found time to educate herself further in her nursing career by becoming a cardiac specialist nurse in the ICU. She blesses the lives of those who have just come out of heart surgery. She has critical knowledge of drugs, leads, lines, pumps, stints, transplants, and everything else you can think of after a patient has surgery! Amazing woman!! They beg her to work everyday to take care of patients, teach others, and train the newbee's....to her credit, her children are her world and come first!
Other than Children and nursing (easy stuff), Tracy still finds time to help with kids sports and practices, workout at the gym, and run all over the valley! At any given time, you will see her on her run for miles and miles around the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains!
Her true love is watching her children succeed in all they do!

Taylor is our man now! At 14 years old and a month away from a learners permit, he has become quite a man! He excels in all his sports, guitar, video games, and comedy! What a funny little sucker! He can have a room full people rolling on the floor in seconds! When I say little, I don't mean it disrespectfully. He is just about ready to grow like a weed. He is 5'1" now but his feet have gone from a 6.5 to almost size 10 in a little over a year. His arms are long and his hands drag on the floor. I think he has become the missing link! He has a smile that will light up the room, and a temperment that will bring everyone to ease! Taylor is leader amongst his friends, an example in the ward, and an honorable preisthood holder fullfilling his aaronic priesthood duties willingly and with a smile! Did I mention he will be a freshman this year and has only gotten 1 B+ in all of middle school. Must have gotten his mothers brains!

Tristin is 12 and loves young womens! She is amazing. She can do anything she wants! Most of all, she is her daddies best pal! Anything dad does, Tristin is sure to be by his side. She is a 4.0 student and joy to her teachers. Never have they met a more willing student to help! She does so well in class that she is assigned to help the special needs students when her own work is completed. She is playing triple A soccer and doing very well. She also plays accelerated softball and was on the softball All-Star Team. She was a 6th grader playing with freshman! She kick majoy butt in Hoops too.... All the violin teachers that have been to the school orchestra concerts want her for their students. Again another child with her mama's brains and talents! Tristin is a sweet sweet young woman with a heart of gold. She is kind, tender, and loves the Lord. When we look around for someone to emulate, Tristin is the perfect example. She is stubborn, but loves and tries with all her heart! She is truely Christlike in many ways!

Torri is 10 going on 18. What a woman. She can flip, tumble, dance, smile, sing, throw, hit, run, kick her way into anyone's heart! She can do it all. She is built like a rock with a glow that you cannot get past. She LOVES attention and LOVES to entertain. She sings and dances all day long. Everyone loves Torri. She is fun, bright and extremely talented! She is nice to everyone, is very talented on the piano, gets straight A's, and is an amazing athlete. Torri is...well...Torri. Spend 5 minutes with her, and you will know everything she is..... AMAZING! She loves to help Tristin help mom... She is the first to hug her dad when she comes home. Also the first to tease her brother....and FLIRT FLIRT FLIRT...UT OH!!!!

Anyway, enough bragging. Our kids are...Wonderful! As you can see... all of them are special and all have Tracy's amazing charactoristics! We love them very much and are so proud of the way the live the gospel, love their family, and follow the Savior!
