Year in Review

As we end another year (where does the time go?!), I always find it fun to reflect on our year through our pictures. I love seeing all the fun things we did and how much the kids have grown and learned. Here's to another great year!

Paul and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. We celebrated over spring break with a trip to NYC where we saw all the sights and took in a few shows.
Jaxon turned 3 and started preschool
Kade "graduated" preschool and started kindergarten. He learned to read and add.
Kylie & Bailey performed a lot. They did the Hunter High Silhouette dance clinic. They were in a class opera and had two dance recitals. They tried tumbling during the summer.
Kylie and Bailey are in the third grade now.
Kade learned to ride a two wheeler.
Kylie won first place in reflections art contest for her photo and Kade received honorable mention.
Paul got a promotion at work. He now manages a sales team.
We got a new SUV, we love our Honda Pilot.
Kade tried tumbling, basketball and soccer. So far Junior Jazz seems to be the favorite.
Paul did his first two sprint triathlons, and ran three half marathons: the Utah Valley, Moab and Tough Mudder (where he broke his toe).
Jaxon has mastered some key sounds in speech therapy and is really making progress.
Ran a 5k as a family
Bailey knitted a hat by herself for her doll.
Kade built a windmill with his dad.
We went camping in the Uintahs with sheep bahhing all night.
Jaxon got his first set of stitches.
Kade learned to shoot a gun.
Paul took me on two all expense paid vacations through work to Aruba and Bahamas.
We went to California for Christmas and surprised the kids with a day at Disneyland.
Saw two of our favorite families sealed to each other in the temple.
Survived another Chalmers family reunion and loved every minute of it.

Happy New Years!

For New Years, we went to Scott and Jenny's. We ordered take out from Outback and played games. All the kids (minus little Carter) stayed up til Midnight and sprayed silly string. Paige and Jaxon had a blast watching movies on the laptop while the adults (and Kylie and Bailey)played Minute to Win It. It was a fun time!  
Happy New Years!

Happy 2010!

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year. This year we were all too sick to do anything but sit at home and watch movies. I was sad at first but it turned out to be really fun. We made nachos for dinner, ate some junk, drank soda and watched our movies.  The kids made it til midnight for the first time... Kade made it with a little help. We banged our pots and pans, sprayed silly string and rang in the new year as a family. Hope everyone's New Years was good and safe. We love you all!
