2015 year in review!

January:

Sledding in a winter wonderland. The car died shortly after this so it was good thing we got pictures!This was also a month of new goals and the awesome time Kayden sent my point and shoot camera on a swim in grandpa's fish tank!

Febuary:

Valentines day 2015, AND I got my camera! We also got a double jogging stroller for me!

March:

We had a vacation, in march we went to Utah! Also I took Jessica and Todd's engagement pictures. Spring break also! This was also the month we bought the Mercury Sable from Grandpa Durrant. The timing was a tender mercy! We celebrated St Patricks day a made a new tradition, Eli brought a party to preschool (it was his first time and my first time begin one of those cool moms).

April:

On the 1st my sweet Eli turned 4! Also we hosted a bridal shower for Jessica, and BIG highlight
Sun Valley! We LOVE going to sun valley each spring. Favorite activity and tradition of us all!
 The month was busy as we Celebrated Easter, watched general conference, gardened, and cleaned up house (I refinished and sold a ton of furniture this month). We also bought the kids first ever matching suits!

May:

Wow! May was a busy, busy month! There are so many favorite things that happened, and big things! Mothers day, first snow cones, The boys first Father Son camp out, Eli's preschool graduation, Eli's first primary talk, Jessica and Todd's wedding , and memorial day! The Hill grandparents visited and we spent some time out on a few date hikes in the foothills.


June:

June was the timing of the amazing trip to Wash-away beach in WA, it was a family reunion and so wonderful. We loved it. The beach was perfect and everything so beautiful.
June was also the month my grandfather died and the month that I had my miscarriage. We took tons of day trip and celebrated summer and Fathers Day! It was also the month we got a job offer in Texas and almost moved.

July:

Of course July was the 4th of July! WE also had a wonderful time camping, we found a new favorite location, went to the Zoo with grandpa (big hit for the kiddos) and went paddle boating and kayaking with the Tanners at their house on their pond! We went on so many day trips to parks I cant even count them, we also took family pictures.  This was also potty training month! We began watching Baby tucker!

August:

August was another jam packed month, we where so busy! First was the first ever family reunion in Park City Utah for the Hill side (organized of course by my amazing sister-in-law Allison), We spent several days there after the reunion as well spending time with other relatives including lunch with grandma Linda. Then we had more family and camping at the Mann creek reunion. Soon after Mitchell began his Masters Program.The kids learned how to ride a bike and cousins Barthlome came to visit (we went boating when they came!)! It was also my birthday month!

September:

In September my sweet Kayden turned 3! Both boys began preschool , oh sweet little Kayden going to preschool with his big brother. We found a leaf bug, The boys went on a Primary Temple trip! (I think this was also right when my dad got put in the Bishopric)

October:

October I was sick with pregnancy but despite that we really tried to make the fall fun for our family.
Big happenings was uncle Michael coming home! It was amazing, we took West family pictures and celebrated. October also had, a trip to Linder farms, the tradition play in the leaves day with grandma, Halloween, the kids first trip to IHOP, our first doc appointment and ultrasound, and we (mostly uncle Michael) painted our kitchen cabinets white!

November:


November was thanksgiving! We once again traveled to Utah for a long vacation, we spent time with the West's and the Hills, we also went to temple square! We announced our pregnancy officially this month at 17 weeks, we made the cutest little video with the kids to announce it!

December:

December was fun and amazing! Christmas, Family Visiting, meeting Santa, and Pinetop to name a few favorite moments from this wonderful busy delightful holiday month! We also celebrated a very exciting anniversary of 6 years, and Mitch started teaching an online class for BYUI! Oh and we cant forget New Years! (also we got some very cute Holiday photos taken in our front yard with a tripod and Uncle Josephs help and some anniversary pics taken by Jessica!)
