It's a New Year! 2016 Quick Review
It's been a good year. As I look back, I am amazed at how much we did! We were busy. This year was one to remember for sure. We've been blessed with so much: health, loving family members and friends, and the opportunities to travel and adventure. The crowning highlight, of course, was welcoming Conrad earth side. I have to pinch myself. We're a family of five now and I couldn't be happier.
Here's what happened:
January: We celebrated Kaleb and Chantee's wedding! We visited the Living Planet Aquarium in Utah and hiked to Ross Falls as a family when there was three feet of snow.
February: We enjoyed a fun day of sledding as well as an epic date snowshoeing in the South Hills with our friends, the Horsleys. I also attended my very first photography conference, but the highlight was getting to hang out with my Grandma.
March: I traveled to Arizona to see my sister and cousin's new babies. I also found out I was pregnant!
April: We celebrated Jed's 6th birthday! We took the kids to Park City to see the Imagination Movers live in concert! I don't remember anything else because surviving morning sickness was all I could concentrate on.
May: Bron and I went on vacation to Kauai!!! We will never ever forget our legendary overnight backpacking trip to Kalalau. It was an amazing trip.
June: We celebrated the beginning of summer with a party and a pool full of kids. We had fun at the Nelson family reunion. Jed played his first season of t-ball.
July: We rock climbed and sat under the best fireworks show we've ever seen on Independence Day. We found out our growing baby was a boy. Bron exhuasted himself on a week long 50 mile backpacking adventure with the scouts in the Whitecloud Wilderness. Jed and Levi learned to fish with hot dogs and we went camping.
August: We celebrated Levi's 4th birthday, Bron conquered Pierre's Hole for the third time, and Jed started the first grade!
September: Two of my photos won prizes at the county fair. Jed played soccer for the first time. We saw the Wagon Days Parade in Ketchum. Bron and his brothers tinned a barn in just one day. And Bron and I stayed out way past our bedtime at a Boise State football game one evening.
October: We took the boys to the Hogle Zoo and celebrated my grandma's 80th birthday in Moab, UT surrounded by the beautiful chaos of family. My girlfriends spoiled me with a baby shower and pedicures. And the boys were the Dark Side for Halloween.
November: We welcomed Conrad to the family!!!
December: Bron did some snow skiing. We adjusted to being a family of five and enjoyed another magical and blessed Christmas.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
