It's embarrassing how long it's been since I've blogged. I got a little behind and then the thought of catching up was completely overwhelming. So, now, it's literally been over 8 months. Like I said, embarrassing.
I've decided to start fresh. No catching up. No hours of sitting in front of the computer posting 10,000 pictures and writing a novel to recap the last 8 months. Instead, I'll summarize. If I can even remember what's transpired over the last 267 days. Because let's be honest, I can barely remember what I wore yesterday let alone what we did last July. I'll try my best, but only for the sake of my posterity (who better give a dang about what we did in 2012) :)
May: We went to Disneyland with some of Steven's cousins, who happen to be some of our best friends. The kids loved it and so did we! I also turned 27. One year closer to death. Yes, I'm a little dramatic. Not a shocker to anyone who knows me well.
June: We bought a house in West Roseville. It was a new build, so we had 5 months until it was complete. We decided to save some money and move in with Steve's parent's until October. The kids and I also drove out to Colorado and spent three weeks with my family. It was a great trip! I think we should do it every year, but maybe we'll stay 2 weeks instead ;)
July: Brody turned ONE!! The year flew by and I couldn't believe that he was already a year old. We spent his actual birthday on a business trip in Fresno with Daddy. The weekend after we had a very small family swim party and BBQ. Everything was perfect and we all had a blast!
August and
September: I honestly can't remember either month. Probably because I was newly pregnant and pretty miserable. Haha! We did go visit some friends in Crescent City, CA. We love and miss the Davis' family so much!
October: Olivia turned 3 on October 5th! She loves her birthday :) We spend a few days in SoCal with Steve's family at Disneyland and at the beach. We had a great time! Steve also turned 28! We were able to sneak away and have lunch together at Disneyland :)
November: We closed on our house and got the keys on November 2nd! We moved in and still aren't completely settled. My walls are still pretty bare. I'm so indecisive. I don't know what I want to hang or where I want to hang it. We also spend Thanksgiving together as a family of four in our new home. Best idea we ever had. It was perfect.
December: We found out that baby #3 is a girl! We are so happy to welcome another little princess into our family :) We spent Christmas with my family in Colorado. It was our first time flying together with both kids. They did surprisingly well :) We got snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas day! We all LOVED having a White Christmas! We also loved being with my family and getting spoiled! My mom is a huge Christmas fanatic and didn't hold back! We're surprised we made it home with all of our Christmas gifts! Haha!! We also spent our 4th wedding anniversary in Colorado and gorged ourselves at The Melting Pot. Delicious.
January 2013: Liv is now a Sunbeam and couldn't be more excited!! She is the sweetest little thing and is pretty obedient and reverent during sharing time. Brody is transitioning into Nursery and is actually doing pretty well :) Steve and I both got new callings in our new ward. Steve is the Webelos leader and is loving serving in scouts. He never did scouts when he was younger, so it's fun for him to get involved with the program. I'm excited to go to the Pinewood Derby this year!! It should be fun! I was called as the Secretary in Primary, so I'm just trying to figure it all out seeing as I haven't been in primary (or served in primary-not even as a sub) since I was 11 way back in 1997. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be :) Here's to hoping I continue to blog on a consistent basis........
