I love coming to the end of the year... it is so great and amazing to look back on the last year and remember all the wonderful things that happened!! 2012 was kind to us and I have to say its been a pretty great time!! Here is the last year in review!!
January
I really didn't have any real pictures... so here is one of the cabin in a blanket of snow... that describes January to me.. (I probably didn't have any pictures because January thru March is respiratory season at the hospital and so it is BUSY BUSY BUSY!! So peaceful pictures likes this are a lot better than a wad of boogies!!)
February!!
Ha!! This is Ellie's favorite game... pretend napping on the bench...
My mom bought Ellie this GIANT moose at Costco...
...so we stuck it in her bed one night!!
March
It has to happen at least once a year... I try to drive up to the cabin... because of course I have TCS!! ...then I get stuck and my dad has to push me out :)
This was one of the coolest things ever!! The reservoir was half frozen.. so we threw rocks out to break up the glaciers!!
Also in March my great uncle Elroy passed away so we went down to Vernal for the funeral... they are not the same!!! These old guys came to do the military salute.. and shot guns.. and one of them practically was blown over from the force of the gun!! Then there were cars parked in the way to get out.. so of course you just drive around.... ON FRESH GRAVES!!! HAHA!! Yes we had a great time!!
April
Me and my mom spent a lot of time walking to the park with these girlies!!
Alana's 9th birthday party... and Ellie learned how to do kart-wheels!
May
Best month of the year!!! This year Cody got BIG news!!! Acceptance into the UofU Medical School Program!!! This was SOOO exciting because we were all really sad that they were moving to South Carolina!!!
Alana and I hung out at temple square... took a few pictures :)
June
This little missy decided to get baptized, and we were all soo so excited for her!!
This peanut decided to come out and meet her favorite Aunt... me of course!! Avery was born on
June 24!!
July
For the 4th of July this year we remodeled my aunt and uncles bathroom!! Kinda a fun and different way to spend the holiday!!
As you can see... Me and Joni are extremely helpful in the tiling process!!
August
This was a pretty exciting month!! Kris and Abby were married on August 14!! We couldn't have gotten a better sister in law!! Abby is wonderful and is definitely the new favorite... its too bad because I was working my way up to that spot!!
Alana and Ellie loved the wedding and the temple square grounds!!
Cody had his white coat ceremony and officially started MED SCHOOL!! WOW!!
My friend Tori was a really good sport and came with us to the open house for the Brigham City Temple... We may have weirded her out but she still talks to us so we take it as a good sign :)
September
Started with me getting to drive the JEEP!!
AND ended with zip lining off Haiti into the bay!!! Joni and I took a cruise to the Caribbean!! The pictures pretty much tell it all!!
October
I took a BUNCH of pictures of this little baby!!
Possibly a few of these girls too... We went to a pumpkin patch that had a hay maze... It was pretty great... I went a few times myself :)
We went to the cabin for conference... and I took a ton of pictures of the leave...
November
My parents took Alana and Ellie to the cabin and I tagged along... and this little girl woke up at 4:00 AM!! Yikes so this is what she did...
We did the first round of the Road Home Service Project... which was a Service Auction and Thanksgiving Dinner for 80 people!! Really fun... and a lot of work!! But totally worth it when Rick and I got to finally drop off the hygiene kits in December!!
December
I went and saw the lights downtown a few times!! I love temple square in December!!
I took... some... pictures of baby Avery while babysitting her!!
Jordy, Finn and I went downtown to see the lights... and saw like my entire family!!
Bad picture... but this is my Aunt Rainey, Roxy and Emma
Then we saw my sister Melanie and her kids Alana and Ellie and there friend Ben... It was quite the night!!
We watched the City Creek fountain show with them!! Ellie was easy to impress.. and she ended up soaked from jumping in the fountain!!
Finn was not quite as rambunctious and preferred to stay dry..
2012 was a pretty great year and I'm excited to see what 2013 has to bring!!!
