A look back at 2009

We celebrated the New Year last night with just our little family. Scott had to work open to close so the kids I and I did most of the partying. I started out the day by making breakfast for the kids then we went to McDonald's for lunch. The kids played in the snow while I made dinner and then we played games the rest of the evening. I let the kids shoot silly string to celebrate and laughed my head off at their reactions as they destroyed the house with that messy stuff. I was by far my favorite part of the evening. The kids showing off the silly string balls they made after picking up their big mess. I had to bribe them with marbles to see who could make the biggest ball during clean up. Macy was in on all the action. She stayed up longest falling asleep at 12:30, the little stinker. My New Years resolution...to get rid of that double chin! The kids partying. Sorry, Brigham choosed to never wear clothes. I choose not to fight him all the time over it.

 

2009 was good to us for the most part. Here is a look back...

February-basement flooded. Good times

March-Ashtyn turned 8 and got baptized, Haylee turned six and we had to move every item of furniture from each room in order to get the carpet stretched.

April-Scott and I went on a cruise to the Key West and Cozumel. Found out we were having another girl.

May-Haylee graduated from Kindergarten. Dance recitals and first cattle drive. Ashtyn got to go on many horse riding adventures with Grandpa this year.

June-Started our family garden. I turned 30, we went to Utah, kids took swimming lessons and we got a new trampoline

July-McGarry reunion. Lots of Idaho wind. Our tramp was damaged as well as a porch swing.

August-Ashtyn started third grade, Haylee first. Prepared for baby to come.

September-Baby Macy finally arrived...the rest of that month was a blur. :0) Scott and I celebrated our 10th anniversary.
