Where did the year go??

I know I'm a few days late but I figure you probably had at least 2 or 3 other blogs to get caught up on and to find out all the new years resolutions they were looking at attempting to keep for at least a few weeks.
I figured since this blog wasn't in existence all of last year I'd take you down a little pictorial memory lane.

January in Iowa brings us lots of 1/2 birthdays but also lots of snow which is good because our boys seem to like it.

February brings snow and ice and more snow but also Valentines day.

Along comes March which springs forth with renewel.

In April Elli got to be a model and so began the hat frenzy

May gets us outside and every day seems to be filled with something....like weddings.

June is generally the epiphany our our soccer season.

But this year our season extended to July with Cole & Luke playing in the Iowa Games.

August took us to Colorado which brought us a lifetime of memories.

September again brings soccer into our lives but it's the little moments that can mean the most.

October was especially fun this year as Elli really enjoyed Halloween and pumpkin patches.

By the time November rolled around we finally had some downtime which meant family time so I showed off some of my old pizza making skills for the kids and let Luke take his hand at it.

What kid doesn't love December with Christmas and time off from school and snow and New Years Eve but most of all.....all the pretty dresses. Well for a mom of 3 boys to finally get a girl....dresses are a big thing.

I really feel like I did more of an injustice to my photographer wife by just picking and choosing a random shot for each month which may or may not have been properly edited. But in my defense if she didn't take so many than it wouldn't be so hard. I asked the boys their favorite things from this past year and it was a unanimous vote that Colorado was their favorite thing from the year and even ranked up there with Disney World as one of their favorite places they've been. Hopefully this year will provide some more memories for us to capture and talk about as the calendar changes over at the end of this year.
