1. Awesome family trip to California with just our little family and Margie. It literally was one of the best vacations that I have ever had. The boys were good, the weather was nice. We did a lot of activities, but it never felt rushed or hurried. It was so nice having Grandma Margie all to our selves. That doesn't happen very often and we drank in every second.
2. Tyler turned 3. I can't believe how big Tyler has gotten. He is such a little man. He says some of the funniest things. He is such a joy to have around. He is super friendly and says "Hi" to everyone. He is, usually, really good to his brother. We love Tyler so much.
3. Tyler got potty trained. This was super hard. It sure didn't happen over night, but he is officially potty trained. He got it down near perfect right before he started preschool in September. Hardly any accidents during the day and none at night. He is a champ.
4. Tyler started preschool...and he LOVES it. I couldn't ask for a better teacher, my high school friend Kim. Tyler loves going twice a week and likes almost all the kids in his .class (except for the little boy who hits and kicks - he's not too fond of him).
5. Joshua turned 1. My baby is no longer a baby. He learned to crawl about 9 months and was walking by one. He is a fast learner and wants to do things just like his big brother. He is so funny. Loves to put the towel on his head and walk around the house "getting" people. Generally he just gets him self with a bump on the head from the wall. He is a good climber and loves to be outside. We love having him in our family, he is a hoot.
6. Josh got a big boy bed. He used to love his crib, but around 11 months decided he didn't like it anymore, so we decided to just get him his own bed at about 15 months. He does really good with it and has only fallen out once. He is simply wonderful.
7. Tony got a new job. This happened towards the end of the year (November). He is now at the Ogden Cannery and loving it completely. He likes his boss and his co-workers. He likes working with the missionaries and the volunteers. The commute isn't great, but doable. It is worth it for him. It was a step up for him to then go on to become a Manager one of these days. We only can hope for sooner rather then later. He is a great worker and they are really noticing that up there.
8. We put in a new fence. And we love it. It is so nice being able to just let the kids go out and play without worrying about them getting out. Added to this I got a new back door for Christmas, so it is perfect to let the kids play while I can still have my eye of them...and my ear.
9. Michelle lost her job. Bummer. It was the best job ever and I truly miss it, but it has been so very nice being able to stay home without worrying about getting work done. I miss the Tuesdays at work, the money, and my work friends, but I hope that I am a better wife and mother now that my main focus is just my amazing family.
10. Celebrated 7 years of marriage. 7 WONDERFUL years with Tony. I am so blessed to have Tony in my life. He is a great dad and husband. He teaches me so much all the time. He would do anything for me at anytime. I know that he loves me. We had a great anniversary weekend downtown. I wish that we could do that again every month. I love you Tony!
