The Fletchers officially cruised through 2016 having just
returned from a Disney Caribbean cruise over Thanksgiving. We met so many Disney characters, ate
and ate some more, hiked on Virgin Gorda BVI, and enjoyed the beach and
sunshine at St. Thomas and Castaway Cay.
Other family adventures included camping trips with friends, a visit
from Holly’s brother Tyrone and his girls in June, girls camp, EFY, volleyball
camps, and Cub Scout camp.
JUSTIN completed
the Spartan Trifecta which consists of 4, 8, and 12 mile obstacle courses,
visited friends while on business in Dallas, and climbed Mt. St. Helens this
summer. HOLLY snuck away on girls’ trips to Catalina Island and to see
Adele in concert in Vancouver. H & J enjoyed the best of company
on a couples’ trip to Sunriver, Oregon in May while the kids loved having
Holly’s Mom and Val come up to stay with them.
ABIGAIL (14) had
a great season playing volleyball on the JV team this fall and is excited to
start her first year of club vball.
We’re a little sad to no longer see her play on the soccer field and
basketball court. Fall was crazy busy as she balanced a rigorous vball
schedule, playing flute in the pep band, starting early morning seminary,
refereeing soccer and maintaining her 4.0 GPA.
CARLY (12) joined
the braces club and excelled in the classroom as well as at basketball,
lacrosse, soccer, and her first year of volleyball. She continues to love to create – making her own Halloween
costume and creating fun sewing projects. She worked hard this summer running a trash container
cleaning business, but prefers earning money by less filthy means as a
babysitter.
JASON (9) played
soccer and two seasons of basketball and enjoys attending Cub Scouts. He loves
playing games, Legos, and doing anything outside with neighborhood
friends. He got his first gear
bike this summer and enjoys riding along the many local trails.
KATIE (6) started
first grade in the fall and also played soccer. She tries to keep us all in check, but is also the most
affectionate and playful little girl.
We love that J & K can
now walk to the new school in our neighborhood.
DREW (3) has the
smile and blue eyes that can brighten anyone’s day. He seems to be everyone’s favorite and makes each day
an absolute joy. He has no problem
keeping up with his older siblings and makes just as many messes.
We want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Joyous
New Year!
