A year in Review

Howdy from Hunstville Alabama!

Yes that's right since the last blog post a YEAR ago we have relocated to the sunny (rainy lately) South.  I am not going to try to recap the last year with a LONG WINDED verbal monstrosity. A picture says a thousand words so I will use a bunch to make up for the lack of wordiness here.

 Many game nights all year long. Still working on the good sportsmanship thing.
 After 31 years of biting my nails I decided to quit. Now to work on the rest of my flaws!
Isaac turned 8. He was baptised and started scouts. Momma isn't ready for him to grow up!
 We upgraded Amusement parks this year. Six flags was a blast.
 Ben's tomato's were AWESOME! Let's hope for the same this year.
 I enjoyed canning again. I love looking at my bottles! So colorful!
I finally got a good drivers license picture and then we move. I am clinging to my license with all I have. Ben is trying to get me to change so I can register the Pilot.  We will see how long I can hold out!
Micah turned 6 this year and started Kindergarten. A more precocious child you never met!
  I rocked Princess Leia this year. No that baby isn't mine but I'll claim her for sure!
 I painted the house. Enough said. I hate the color yellow now. And green, and blue and brown and ....
 We spent Christmas in Texas with my sister. Nothing like the beach on Christmas Eve eve. We missed Ben who stayed home getting ready for the move.
 I took the boys to the Houston Space center. Angry birds was present, therefore it rocked.
 Took Tara house shopping in Huntsville, she picked me out a great house. Not this one. (I am partial to this Tuscan master bath, the ivy looked lifelike!)
 We got our last huge snow blizzard 2 weeks before we left. Just a little parting gift from New England.
A Crazy woman ran into me 1 week before our move. Good thing Ben was visiting for the weekend. Not like I needed anymore stress in my life!
 Isaac turns 9 in two months. I can't believe how old he is. He placed 2nd in his 1st pinewood derby. This was the same day we left our beloved New England. So glad we got to see everyone before leaving.
 Our new home. We have an acre. Ben has to mow. HAHAHAHA! We are loving it.
We love the dog park here. Lily is making new friends as long as they don't try to get us to pet them. A little possessive that one.
Grandma came to visit and fun was had by all.
