I'm Back!

I cannot believe it's been almost two years since I made a post!  

I feel so disconnected!  

SO much has happened and this is my best effort to catch you up:

 Sorry 2011, you're getting the skimpy version because quite frankly, you're old news (and mostly, I don't have time for anything more....)  Here are the most important/biggest/craziest events from 2011:

• 1/25/11:  Zack and I celebrated anniversary #3  :)
• 2/21/11:  Stockton turned 6  :)
• 7/1/11:  Kristin turned 26  :)
• 7/14/11:  Stockton got staples in his head-swimming accident :(
• 8/22/11:  Stockton starts 1st grade  :)
• 9/8/11:  Jaycie turned 1  :)
• 9/11/11:  Kailee turned 3  :)
• 9/14/11:  Kailee started preschool  :)
• 10/4/11:  Zack turned 27  :)
• 11/28/11:  Kailee got staples in her head-falling accident :(
• 12/31/11:  reflected on an amazing year  :) :) :)

A few more things I didn't put in the list:  

lots of firsts for Jaycie including learning to sit up, crawl, eat food, say her first words, and walk, Kailee learning to sings lots of songs, Stockton graduating kindergarten, Kailee graduating early intervention, concerts in the park, fireworks, swimming a LOT, a trip to Twin Falls, going to the zoo, going fishing, family reunion, family pictures, going to Kangaroo zoo, going to Boondocks, Hansen planetarium, playing with friends, celebrating holidays, school programs, hunting season, fishing season, Festival of Trees, visiting family, playing, going on walks, and more and more and more...  it was a good year!

Now, I'll give you 2012 and I'll even include pics!

JANUARY 2012

The kids spent a lot of time playing with their new Christmas toys... Jaycie loved lounging in her little pink chair, and Kailee had fun on her horse.  Stockton got a cute and much needed haircut (I adore him with a buzz).  I was able to be a parent helper for Stockton's field trip to the treehouse museum (so fun!).  We also went to Boondock's, and spent hours playing out in the snow!

 MARCH 2012

Honestly, March was kinda blah... it always seems to be that way for us.  Cold and no holidays :(  

We did do a few things though...

Jaycie was going through a phase where all she wanted to do was color.  She called it "Elmo" though since she has an Elmo coloring book.  When she wants to color, she just asks for elmo.  Cute.  She colored all over the bathroom floor one day and the expression on her cracked me up.  

Oh, and random story about the window.  Kailee loves to stand in front of them all the time and she'll kinda bump her forehead against them.  Well, she accidentally broke that one with her head. 

Crazy huh!  Thank goodness she wasn't hurt!

 APRIL 2012

April was a really fun month for us!  Of course Easter is always fun... Easter bunny brings baskets, eat lots of candy, go to church, dye eggs, visit family: typical Easter celebration and we all had a blast!  

Also in April, Zack and I both did our first 5K... it was called Color Me Rad!  We both loved it and decided it's going to be a yearly tradition for sure!
