2012 A Year In Review

At a new year I am always so excited to start fresh, because there always seems to be such negatives, and I want to turn them around.  But every new year it seems that the last year was the worst yet, so some year I hope to look back and say "WOW what a good year"...I honestly can't list off very many positives about 2012, so I am glad to see it gone.


But last year and this year for a Christmas present my Bingham parents ask for a year in review.  So, I thought I would post a version it on here too, even though everything I am about to post is on the blog already, but here is a fast review!

Kade changed jobs again, (JUNE) but this time we moved.  We ended up moving twice!  

Blessing!

WE HAVE CHANGED A LOT IN 1 YEAR

We Got a Little Older, No Wiser I Am Afraid

We had stuff that went on

 We may never financially recover from my surgery :)  Dumb us, the only one in the family without health insurance had major surgery!  Life goes on, just keep swimming.

We did have some fun though!  I kept busy crafting away.

Kade kept busy with other things

We also worked a little this year.

 Kade did his share of mechanic work as well

We are still hard on animals, I didn't even get pictures of all the ones we owned, but here are the ones that stayed around the longest

We still have Roxie!

We celebrated a little, had some holidays.

Been married 3 years.

Oh, and we had a white Christmas!

We had a lot going on, between work, school, two babies, and all the fun in between   I am glad we made it out alive.  How was your year everyone? Hoping 2013 is our lucky year!

Christmas 2012

Christmas time this year has been busy and with the stress of finals, I am looking forward to a week or so of relaxation.  We were very blessed with how giving everyone was this year and my kids were very spoiled.  We have amazing family and some awesome ward members.  So thank you everyone.

We went to Blackfoot for some of Christmas Eve, then stayed in Terreton for Christmas.

Here are some snap shots!

Of us and the tree and other decorations

Drake got to help decorate the tree, so FUN

In some Christmas jammies 

Addy said CHEESE

Addy loves her baby

Drake Loves it more

He got legos but apparently they are not as cool as a stroller :)

UNWRAPPING TIME

Just Drake

Outside was so pretty

We were lucky enough to have a white Christmas, there was ice hanging from the trees, it was a beautiful morning.

We got new stuff to wear! YAY

 We all had a fun Christmas.  It looks like it might snow enough for us to go play on the snow-machine!

Addyson's 1st Birthday

My youngest is 1.  She has been walking for almost a month!  Not that she walks all the time...but she is getting really good.

She is a big flirt, loves giving kisses, cuddles with me, and loves food.  She has almost completely caught up to Drake.  She is only 3 inches shorter then he is. She has all but 4 teeth, Drake has all of his now, she catch up to him soon.

Poor girl doesn't do well with shots, she gets sick every time  and teething is a nightmare, glad its almost over.  If she has either shots or is teething she will cry all night, big change from her brother, but every baby reacts different.  Other then when she doesn't feel good she is still an awesome and easy baby, I have been very lucky with my kids.

At Addyson's appointment she was 20 pounds 1 ounce, so she still is almost 6 pounds behind Drake.  She is 30 inches long and 18.75 inches around her head.

She is tall and skinny for her age, she also had really good iron, and looks healthy.

She is on real milk and loves it, but she likes it warm.  When it comes to Addy she is just as independent if not more then her brother, she wants to feed herself and will throw a fit if denied.

She says some words, but her vocabulary hasn't grown much, but she will mimic things you say.  She also likes to jabber away.  She waves and claps and loves when you say YAY and give her attention.  She is more approval seeking then Drake, so I bet she is ready to potty train before him HAHA.

She can climb up and down the stairs, she loves to just sit on the stairs.  She is growing so fast...bittersweet.

Addy is so sweet, we love her and her cute personality.

eating yummy food

She was sitting on the couch eating popcorn and watching tv, she looked like an adult. :)

K'Loni's Wedding

I got to see one of my close cousin's get sealed today.  I love weddings, I love being a witness to the joy and happiness.  I always feel so close to heaven in the temple, what a treat it was to be there.

I am so excited for her, she is so in love and beautiful.

Look at grandma and grandpa Kunz.  They are so cute, I am blessed to be their granddaughter. 

Party Time

Because we live so far away, and the kids have birthdays 2 weeks apart, and because Christmas is in the same month, we had one big birthday bash.  Let me tell you, it was a full house.  I was so excited so many people showed up...I invited everyone, and to my surprise a lot of them showed.

We had homemade burgers and fries. YUM!  A big thanks to my mom and dad for that, they are the best parents ever :)

We were so blessed with the support and the many thoughtful gifts, thank you everyone!  The kids were spoiled.


SO AGAIN, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Here are some pictures because life is more fun with pictures.

Drake's cookie monster cake, there was a mini cupcake one too. 

Addyson's #1 cake, she is number one.  I tried to make it purple, came out kinda pink.  I wanted a dark color for when she ate it later so it would show up in the pictures...it was okay i guess

BLOWING OUT CANDLES

He was super excited...it is a great memory 

She ate the whole thing.  I was impressed.

This is how the big kids eat it... HAHA

He was a big mess...but in the picture he doesn't seem too messy.

I love my kids, Happy Birthday to both of you.
