Umm...Picture overload!!
Its been a busy year...and this post is a little late, but I thought I'd give a little rundown of our happenings in 2013. Especially since I didn't send out a little letter with our Christmas cards!
We loved our California trip! It was so fun to see Disneyland, and the beach and of course our many friends. I'm hoping we can make another trip sometime to see them all again!!
Oh how I missed the beach!!
Gracie took clogging again, and they didn't have competitions, but did a recital at the end of the year. Here is the little 'Jailhouse Rock' Elvis impersonator!!
All the kids played ball. Brody enjoyed coach pitch and is looking forward to baseball next year.
Gracie played softball with the girls team..(slow pitch, no fast pitch teams around here!)
And Cooper loved T-ball this year. He was actually excited to play,
which made my life alot easier, since I had to coach him!!
Brody has really enjoyed Hockey this year and has really grown close to his hockey friends.
His team won the Novice 'C' Division this year,
losing the league title in a 5 game play off that was pretty close! They did so well!
We tore up our back yard with great intent of some grand renovations...
so far they haven't happened..hoping 2014 brings them to pass!!
Dustin had fun tearing things up though!
I'm still in Young Womens and really enjoying it. The girls keep me Young!! We went on this awesome hike in the summer just before camp. It was a Daddy/Daughter hike, which was alot of fun for both the Dad's and girls. They had a questionnaire to get to know each other better!!
Gracie participated in her first Track and Field. She did pretty good,
but she is still pretty small compared to the other kids her age.
But she tried hard at everything and didn't give up.. I told her that was the most important part!
Grampa Craig and Gramma Sherry celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary this year.
Jamie and Jody and the kids came down, and we had dinner as a family.
We are so grateful for these two people in our lives and the example that they set for us!!
Cooper turned 5 and had a 'Spy' Birthday...he loved it...and so did the 10 other 5 year old boys!
Talk about CRAZY!!
Brody and Gracie had a pool party for their brithday...that was nice and easy on the Momma...
Jamie and Jody moved to Houston!!
Sad, but we will have a nice getaway place now!!
As close to a beach as we have around here...Wally's is always fun in the summer!!
I completed my second triathlon. I was a little disappointed I didn't improved my time...but I finished!!
We went to Seattle and took in the sights...and a ball game!!
My Brody got baptized!! I can't believe he's 8!
His Dad baptized him and Uncle Steve baptized Ryder and Gage as well.
We are so proud of this little man!!
The boys are both playing hockey again this year. Brody is obsessed!! Cooper likes it alot more this year, and even though he's not totally into the game, he is improving each time!!
Its been a crazy busy year, but full of fun and laughter and love. I so enjoy my little family and all that I get to experience with them. I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for us!!
Happy New Year family and friends!
We hope your 2014 is filled with many Adventures as well!!
