highlights reel

JANUARY

Grace turned 11.  Also she was in "CATS", which took up a lot of our time but was so much fun!!

FEBRUARY

Grace again, she was in dancing feet, a ballroom dance group and they had their competition in February.  Super fun to watch!!

MARCH

Chelsea came to visit us for spring break! We loved having her here.  We did lots of CA stuff, but the best was going to Disneyland.  We enjoyed a one year season pass to Disney that we LOVE LOVE LOVED!!  We miss MD terribly and Chelsea especially so it was awesome to have her visit!

APRIL

Best trip ever.  Not only a monthly/yearly highlight but perhaps a lifetime highlight we went to Ireland and had an awesome trip!!

MAY

We went to Utah, and then brought Tatum back for a whole week!! Her mom came after to get her which led to another great visit.  It was super fun to have just her and it's super fun to see what good friends Grace and Tatum are!

bonus photo because these cute cousins got to come too!!

JUNE

 Family camping trip! We had a blast at the beach reliving the camping trips of my youth!

JULY

The kids went to Ohio to visit the grandparents and Rob and I had a northern CA getaway long weekend.  It was delightful!

AUGUST

Hannah turned 17 and got her drivers license!! Yay! No more seminary drives for me (for this year anyway)

SEPTEMBER

I got called to be the ward young women's president.  My favorite calling ever!

OCTOBER

The end of another great soccer season! We love love watching Ethan play soccer.

NOVEMBER

The priests and laurels and because they needed drivers and I am lucky enough to be their leader Rob and I went to hear Elder Bednar speak...in person! I know!!

DECEMBER

Christmas time brought more time with family.  Going back through our year I realized we saw each other a lot.  Almost every month! One perk to living on the west coast for sure!!
