Quick Year in Review

Today I was looking back through old blog posts, and feeling depressed by the lack of blogging that has been happening in the last few years.  I love looking back to the adventures of our family on my blog, and I'm not ready to let that go.  But I don't have time to go through every small thing at this point, so I'm going to try and summarize the highlights of this year so far. 

In the fall (October I think), Sully broke his arm and got this tiny cute cast.

I went to Utah with Kaden, Bennett and Sully to attend an MCU conference.  got to hang out with my parents and siblings as well while I was there.  It was a fantastic week. 

I survived another year of finding costumes for all 5 kids for Halloween.

Brandon wore a fez. 

 We finally framed in and added a door to our master bedroom.  Best thing to happen all year. 

Bennett, Sully and I went mushroom hunting. 

Brandon and I celebrated our 14th anniversary with a day trip to the Gorge.

Brandon's grandparents were sealed to one another in the temple.  Kaden got to be proxy for Grandpa Charlie for his baptism.  It was a special day. 

Sully was cute a lot. 

I made my boys wear matching Christmas pajamas one last time. 

 My parents came to visit the week after Christmas and we had a great visit. 

Carter turned 10 and had a fun Minecraft birthday party. 

We went to Leavenworth with the Jefferies and had a blast. 

Carter got his braces off. 

The kids captured a lot of bad photos of me on my phone as I was working on homework. 

This happened at a ward party. 

We tried to get group photos at JJ jump. 

We played games. 

I somehow survived all the crazy life that happened this year.  More to come later.  Must go to bed.
