Our year in review...

One thing I have really enjoyed this year is watching Nick grow really big, and really cute. (I am bias as the Mom) He has only gotten like four teeth this year, a beautiful scar on his forehead (thanks to a Halloween Party) and his right eye is now a little more hazel/brown than blue. :(

We have gotten to do a lot of fun things this year, including visiting six states other than Utah in just one year. We got to take a fun trip to California in the motor home with family, travel to Washington a few times, and road trip back from Grandpa's house in Spokane. Zack has also traveled to another few states with work... adding a few to the list for all three of us.

This picture is in California. My Mom took it.

People say he is a happy baby.

Nick sure is getting big. Walking dogs all by himself?!?!

We had a lot of fun in the new yard this year. We finally got the grass in early summer.

I have been busy with a new hobby this year... well not that new. I have been sewing for a long time, but recently found it to be a good escape, and to keep my mind occupied. These are just a few of the little baby quilts I have made for friends.
This year has been a challenging one for me in a lot of different ways.
Work has been very fun this year. I have gotten to do a lot of different things in my company, and I have enjoyed having some variety. Also, recently having finished a website before a huge deadline, that was a good feeling for the whole team.

It was a lot of work, but really fun, and super rewarding when we got it all done. Now, I am working on another website for work, developing content, and doing graphics and such.

So... that is what I have been working on this year.

Zack is doing awesome at work. He has hit a huge milestone at work this year. Go Zack.
His brother also left this year on a mission to Costa Rica. It was sad to see him go. But duty called, hahaha. That should be super fun for him.
The husband has been writing some pretty amazing music lately. He really is a talented musician. And if you want to hear any of his music, just ask. He would sing it for y0u in a heart beat.

But, his even bigger talent is Skiing. I have heard by everyone that he skis with that he is the best on the mountain. I have never seen him, because I do not ski. I wish I had some pictures to post. He really is rad. He hopes to get sponsored soon.



So... that is what we have been up to this year. The only trip Zack and I really took this year was to Moab for our anniversary. That was such a blast. This year in April we will have been married for four years. Moab was so cool, we went mountain biking, hiking and swimming... lots of fun.
To top that we will need to do something really cool this year.
This next June Nick turns two! That is something I am also looking forward to.
I don't have any resolutions this year per say. Zack and I are pretty content with the way we live. But I would like to find the energy somewhere to work harder and be a better Mom. By better I just mean more fun! :) I hope I can teach our boy all he needs to know, and love him even more than I do. That might be impossible.

As far as family goes... I hope this year takes better care of those I love than last.

Signing off.
