Intro

Welcome to the new Warner family blog. This is all new to me so we’ll see how it all turns out. While trying to decide which of all the cute picture of Read’s birthday I should email, I couldn’t pick. So I finally decided that I will create a blog and eventually get lots of the cute pictures up that I would like to post.

Andy and I live in the Denver metro area and have lived in Colorado for four years now. This month we will celebrate our 5 year anniversary! We have two adorable boys, one of which is screaming himself to sleep right now. Read is the oldest who just turned three at the end of March. Gage will turn two this week. If you're trying to do the math, they are 12-1/2 months apart. They are amazing and have brought more joy to our lives than we could have ever imagined.

As for me, I am enjoying being a stay-at-home Mom. I am convinced that there is nothing better in life! On the side I teach aerobics classes for 24 hour fitness and an currently teaching about 6-8 classes per week. I absolutely love it! It's a nice break for me and the boys love going to the kids club while I teach. I was released from my calling as primary pianist and called to serve in the Young Women's presidency in December. I miss primary so much but love YW. This is my 3rd time in the YW program in the last 4 years. I've been in YW in every ward we've been in here in Colorado. However, this is my first time in the Presidency and it is a time consuming calling, but I just love my girls and the presidency that I serve with.

Andy is still working for Spring Communications and is going on his 5th year. It's a wonderful company which is based out of Utah. When he has to go out on business, we often times will pack up the family and head out together and the company pays for gas. We've had so many opportunities to see our families. What a blessing! Andy has had several positions with the company, beginning as a store manager, then territory manager, then corporate sales trainer and is currently covering the training department here in Colorado. He is very talented and good at his job and is enjoying his work. Andy was recently released from the Elders Quorum Presidency and is now serving as the 16-18yr. old Sunday school teacher. He really enjoys working with the youth. He team teaches and is thrilled about teaching only every other week!

Read, as I mentioned earlier, turned three at the end of March. He had been telling me for months that he wanted a monkey cake. My boys really like that movie Curious George. So I made him a monkey cake and he was just thrilled! The look on his face when he was it was priceless. We had just a relaxed get together with some friends. We visited the downtown Aquarium in Denver and that was neat! He loved seeing the fish. Read is growing too fast, as all kids do. It seems to me that he learned to talk overnight and is a little chatter box now. He enjoyed his speech therapist, Stacy, but finished with his sessions when he turned three.

Gage is getting too big too fast as well. He turns two this week. He has also been telling me for months that he wants a tractor cake. We'll see if it turns out as good as the monkey cake. Gage knows every single letter of the alphabet which blows me away! A few months ago he was in the bath tub playing with sponge letters and he rattled off each letter by sight and out of order. He even knows what sound they each make. Well, I can say that he must have gotten his brains from his Daddy! He is talking as much as Read.

I am completely overwhelmed by how much the Lord has blessed our little family. Not a day goes by that I am not amazed at how blessed we have been in our lives. My testimony of the gospel has grown immensely since I have become a mother. My love and faith in the gospel grows more and more every day.
