Back to Blogging...

So it has been a long time since updating my blog as you can see by the pictures that are of when Benton was first born 2 years ago! Wow-how fast time flies. Since my last post was almost a year ago- I am going to hit on the highlights from each month this past year as a catch up. I originally started this blog as an attempt to document our lives in some way other than a journal. And, I am not really into scrapbooking but I wanted to incorporate pictures so this seemed like the perfect fit. I have again resolved to blog!

January
Mo turned 29 this year... I wish that I could say that I just turned 29 but I guess that someone needs to have the age and wisdom in this relationship right Mo :)
When I was growing up we always used to go to hardware ranch for my moms birthday and we thought the boys would really love it- and they did... I think we will go again next year.


February
Just some everyday stuff: Eating butter, getting hair cuts, playing dress up :)




March
What a big month- After many years of wanting to build a home in mountain green our dream was finally coming true and our hole was dug...the boys thought watching the tractor was pretty cool. We also sold our home. This brought both tears of joy and tears of sorrow. We were so excited to be moving to Mtn. Green but at the same time we were so sad to leave all of the really good friends that we had made the past 3 years. We celebrated with our last bonfire in the back yard where we made smores... something that we did quite often at our syracuse house.



April
We moved in with grandma and grandpa Vogt while our house was being built. We are so thankful for them. We celebrated Easter there, we flew kites, and Benton loved riding the motorcycle around the neighborhood... even when it was dark, or freezing cold outside.





May
We celebrated mothers day at the zoo- my mom, dad, and sister came with us. It was a great day. We also went to Thanksgiving Point in may so that my dad could try and sell some of my grandpas stuff... while they were selling things and looking at old cars, my mom and I took the boys to feed the animals and to ride the ponies. Benton also turned 2 on May 31st...which will be my next blog post :)





June
We were so happy that they weather was warm enough to swim... we spent lots of days swimming at aunt sha's pool and also at grandma and grandpa Palmers. We went to hear Down the Line play at the annual Bountiful car show. We also spent Fathers Day at Snowbird... it was a great weekend- my dad, colby, and Mo went skiing, and the rest of us met them later to swim, eat, and just enjoy the beautiful mountains. It was so fun and we have decided that it will definitely be a family Fathers Day tradition. The boys also enjoyed riding their new 4 wheeler.





July
Even though I was very pregnant in July- we still managed to have some fun. More swimming at grandma and grandpa Palmers, and lots of slip and slide at grandma and grandpa Vogts. We also celebrated my 33rd birthday- 33...wow! On July 27th we were able to close and move into our new home. Mo was a superstar- he had us all moved in and organized within a few days- just in time for our new baby. At the time I married Mo I didn't know that marrying a moving and storage guy would come in so handy. After moves from Clinton to Mtn. Green to Ogden to Clinton to Mtn. Green to Syracuse to Mtn. Green I can tell you that it certainly has :) But, I think we are finally home... I hope.





August
The boys and I had one last activity day at the childrens museum together before the baby came. And then Rylan was born... which deserves its own blog don't you think :)





Just 3 more months to go...
