February we celebrated Spencer's birthday, he turned 11. He had fun hanging out with friend and as usual tradition they wrestled! It was crazy at our home with all those boys but it was fun.
March we enjoyed watching Connor and Parker play baseball. Connor had a fun time, wasn't the best on his team but his team mates where supportive of him. Connor has played before but it's been a while. I had forgotten how much more competitive it was at a 9 year old level. Parker is just a natural! He loved playing baseball...he made a lot of home runs but we had a little incident during baseball that he had to wear a full cast on his leg, did that slow him down?...NO. He honestly cracks me up!
Then came Joe's birthday. We had a good time celebrating it with him. He got breakfast in bed (family tradition with every birthday), golf bag, golf balls and tees, then the yummiest dinner, with his favorite cake, which I cant remember what it was, but I remember that Joe liked it. =)
My birthday was next and it was fun to have the kids wake me up with a nice warm breakfast. I cant remember what I got and what we did, but I know that I have fond memories of being with the family and that's all that matters.
Swim team was a fun summer activity. I love that my boys are getting older and can go to practices by themselves since it's here in our subdivision...it sure makes my life a little easier. Taylor, Spencer and Connor participated and I'm just amazed at how good they get every year. I wasn't a very good swimmer growing up until I met Joe. My goal was to make sure that my kids can swim on their own when they are young and they have succeeded beyond my expectations. Cant believe how strong they have gotten.
July we got to celebrate Olivia's 3rd birthday. It just get funner and funner to buy for a girl. I love watching her play with all her girly stuff and that cute smile of hers just brightens our day.
After we finished with swim and we got a little break of nothing. We went to Savannah. I love Savannah! It's so pretty, all the old trees, houses and old history that comes with it, especially the beach. Oh I love the beach, it is one of God's greatest creations!
During our summer break we had grandpa and grandma Miller visit us. It was good to see them and hang out with everyone. Loved grandma coming to the pool with us and having grandpa fixing stuff. Hope they come again.
Glad that our summer was relaxing, cause football season has started. Football can be so time consuming, last year about killed me with a new born and getting my gall bladder removed when Isabella was only two months old.
Football season was awesome though. Perfect schedule for both the boys. I'll I had to do was to drop them off to practice and be at the games, how much simpler could it get. Like I said before LOVE that the boys are at the age where you don't have to be there all the time, especially when you still have little ones. Taylor's 8Th grade team went on to the playoffs and lost at their 2ND game. It was unfortunate but since Taylor had a fracture on his wrist between the growth plates it was good to see it end then see him miss a lot of play time. Spencer's team also made it to the playoffs...lost at their third game. Last year they made it to the finals and came in second so it was sad to see it end so quick. I never thought I would love football SO much. Next year we will have 3 in football and I'm so excited!
September we got to celebrate Isabella's 1st Birthday. I had no idea how unhappy she would be on this special day. She wanted nothing to do with her cake and wouldn't even touch the presents. We helped her open them but she didn't want anything to do with them. We can only hope for a better party next year.
Halloween was a fun event with the trunk or treat. I decorated our car for the first time and was so confident that I would win, but I didn't. I should of known better that I never win anything. =( My mom and dad was here to celebrate it with us and I'm glad they came. They spoiled us rotten. Love you Mom and Dad!! I have to say that this Halloween was not as fun as the other years because it fell on a Sunday...If only we were in Utah. =)
That's the run of catch up. We are all healthy and doing well. Love my family and the fun times we get to spend together.
Looking forward to having family over for Thanksgiving and to celebrate Taylor's
14Th birthday. Lot's to be grateful for!
