So far in 2013

Really? Has it been five months since the last time I blogged.... And even then I was already four months behind.  Is my life really that crazy that I can't find a minute or two to blog???  I was going to give this whole blog thing up but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that without my blog I would have forgotten lots of things.  I'm pretty sure I am losing my mind:( I have so many blessings in my life.  I just don't want to forget about all of the little things! 

Now let's see if I can remember what has happened in our lives so far in 2013!

January

Blakley's soccer season came to an end.  Even though she wouldn't play a single game without having Wendy or Cody hold her hand and play along with her, she LOVED playing with her cousin Bentley! She also was so excited to have her uncle Cody as her coach!  Thanks guys for the awesome season!   


We did lots of sleigh riding and playing in the snow!  I love that Blakley lets the boys put her in their old snow clothes instead of hers.  Silly girl!



We got our bounce on at Airborne one afternoon!  What a fun workout!





All three boys finished their Jr Jazz season.  They LOVE playing basketball and really are little naturals.  They all take after their dad!  It is always so fun to watch them play and their skills improve with each game.  Each of them had friends on their teams which makes the season even better.




Tanner won his first medal in one of his wrestling matches! Way to go Tan Tan!


And last but not least we celebrated Grandpa Tom's 63rd birthday!!!  We are so thankful to have him in our lives.  He is such a huge part of our life.  My kids are very lucky to be able to live next door to their grandparents and get to see them on a daily basis.  I hope they always remember their childhood and the memories made with their grandparents.  We LOVE you Grandpa Tom!


I'm sure we did lots more in January that I am missing...  Guess I should just be happy that I remembered as much as I did.  I swear I am losing my mind:)  
After going through my pictures tonight I have realized that we just don't take as many pictures as we used to. SAD!!  I need to be better at that.  Now let's see how long it will take me to move on to February....

Finally Christmas is here!

 Christmas Eve
Santa will be making his rounds tonight!

He came!!!
The big man didn't let us down:)









Christmas has come and gone. Our family was once again spoiled by everyone.  My kids may not have gotten everything they asked for, but oh boy did they get a lot!  We are so blessed to have so many loved ones in our lives!

December 23rd...

Almost done with my Christmas posts. Bear with me....

Every year, our family looks forward to December 23rd.  It is the one consistent thing in our crazy life.  It is when our whole family gets together to celebrate our FAVORITE time of year! This past year, my cousin Cami and her hubby Chris were sweet enough to host the big event.
