Merry Christmas From the Coombs!

Hello Family and Friends! Welcome to our new family site. We hope this will help keep us in touch with each other a little better. It's fun to see pictures and learn what is happening in each other's lives!

Shawn and I are doing great! Life is busier than ever, but we are happy and doing the best we can to make it through every day. Shawn travels a lot with his business and he has been the Branch President, and now Bishop, for 3 years! It's a lot of work, but the blessings of serving in this capacity are very sweet and never ending. Shawn always has some project going on...he does not know how to just be home and relax. Last weekend he built custom pull up bars in the children's bedrooms. We have had pull up contests almost every day. So far, Shawn is winning with Coley right behind him. Scott is in 3rd place, and Kristen and I can hardly pull ourselves up an inch! We see our improvement though, even if no one else can! :)

I am busy homeschooling 5 children, which is the hardest and craziest thing I have ever done, but we are into our 6th year, and it has been a marvelous experience. I also organize huge Walton Feed orders for the east coast. I am crazy over food storage and emergency preparedness, and I love to scrapbook and photo journal my family's history. In the summer I thrill over growing a huge garden and doing lots of canning. This summer I will be in charge of cooking all the food at our Stake Girls Camp. I can't wait! It's all therapy for me..and I need it!!!

I want to say that I can't imagine being any busier, but the last time I said that, Shawn was called to be the Branch President....so I will just say that we are doing great and are enjoying the opportunity to raise a sweet family and serve in the Church.

Please email us and let us know how you are doing!

We love you! Merry Christmas! The Coombs :)
