2011 Year in Review

We made it through the year with no major injuries or broken bones!
January found us with tons of snow and a gymnastics meet. Nicholas baby blessing and London wrap ups.
February we had the dog derby, went to the cabin, Ky got accepted to school, we watched the packers win the Superbowl, went ice skating, and played in the snow some more.
March found us putting in a new engine, my lymph node shrinking, Ash's operetta, dad's day at kindergarten, my birthday, and 13 years together.
April we dyed eggs, had Easter egg hunts, played in the sun and had our first sun burns, Ky started school, we were growing plants, Kami turned 3, a royal wedding, and mom's day at kindergarten.
May we got to go to two concerts Mindy Gledhill and Paul Cardall, had grandparents day at kindergarten, Mar had her seminary and HS graduation, we had Missy's baby shower, smores, started swimming lessons, planted trees, and dug holes for our windows.
June we had more swimming lessons,the end of school, a kindergarten graduation, we got a new nephew, went to the drive-in and saw Cars 2, Ky had a birthday,and we did lots of bowling.
July had fireworks, a trip to the cabin, lots of water time, celebrating the end of Ky's semester, and some fishing.
August we went to Washington, played at the beach, put in our basement windows, went boating a lot, and Kami started gym.
September had a positive pregnancy test, Ash's birthday, a baby blessing, more boating, school started for the girls and Ky, multiple trips to the orthodontist, new head gear and a retainer, and Ash started ballet.
October we spent harvesting the garden, had spud harvest, Halloween, the first snow of the season, a reading contest they both won, Ky shot the infamous skunk that plagued us all summer, a new dryer, and I finally finished my cross stitch.
November we had Thanksgiving, got the basement sheet rocked, had our first ultrasound, went to Harry Potter, and revealed our big surprise.
December flew by with Kaite's birthday, Ash's nutcracker, Christmas at the cabin, Ky finished finals, Christmas parties, a chess match, and 2 more ultrasounds confirming we are having a girl!
I can't believe that 2011 is over already it went by so fast. The year didn't end the greatest for us so I hope it gets better as it goes. 2011 was a pretty good year, things went really well for us. 2012 is shaping up to be a bit of a struggle, but I hope it will get better. I do think 2012 may be even more crazier if that is possible, adding a new baby will do that! We are excited about the new adventures that lay ahead! I did enjoy spending New Year's eve with Ky and Ash (when I wasn't sleeping) a definite advantage to him not being in YM. Ash stayed up and watched the ball drop, she made it longer than I did! However, having 9am church the next morning wasn't the greatest, everyone was a little crabby. My computer crashed again and I have been trying to get it back up and running for the past two days, I think I am in over my head..... it may be time to just get a new one. What a way to ring in the new year huh! And we don't even have any snow! Oh well good bye 2011 and welcome 2012!
