Recap of 2013

This post is something I've thought about doing for a couple of weeks. I've wanted to share with you my favorite memories and posts from our last year but I wasn't really sure how to do it.  I know there are posts that get looked at more than others, the most popular posts are off to the right side. But I wanted to share my personal favorites. As I looked back at all of my posts and read about all the things we've done I've had a really hard time picking just a few. As I looked at all the pictures from summer I wanted to share every single one with you. I have loved being in North Dakota and looking at the pictures reminds me of how beautiful it is here. This summer was by far my favorite one as a mom!
Here are a few of my favorites!

We've had such a fun year!
We moved to North Dakota HERE. 

We've been able to spend so much more time together as a family! 

We go golfing a lot, as you can see HERE. 

We go exploring new cities HERE.
We had an amazing summer filled with rain, sunshine, new friends and happy memories.

We were able to have an awesome river trip vacation HERE. 

Haylee started Kindergarten HERE. 

She also turned 6 HERE. 

Maycie started Preschool HERE. 

She also had Spirit Week HERE. 

I've been able to take the girls on so many new adventures. Its been so much fun seeing all these new sites and experiencing things for the first time with them. 

Like the time we had a girls day out HERE.

 I was also able to have an awesome birthday present vacation HERE.

As I was compiling this list, I noticed a few important pieces were missing. Like Maycie's 3rd birthday and the girls birthday party. I have no clue what happened there!

She woke up to a big breakfast cooked by Daddy and Grandma Maryann.

Then a party at my parents house.

We got each of the girls the cake they asked for.

This is Grandma Maryann with Maycie and cousin Kamryn

The rest of these picture show that Jeromes photography skills have not improved at all since he was 6.

While the girls were waiting to blow out their candles, we had a minor cake catastrophe!

After the party was cleaned up we loaded up in the truck and drove home. Because Maycie missed school on her birthday she took cupcakes in to celebrate. She was SO excited!

I also found a few pictures that had been left out previous posts.

Monkey child spent most of the summer upside down.

Maycie fell into a horseshoe pit and landed on a piece of rebar.

Haylee opened a bottle of paint at Walmart.

Again with the monkey child! 

We went to a fair with Brets' family. There was also a petting zoo that the kids loved!

After staying out late with Kurt and Candace, Haylee was starving!!

Now that is the end of our exciting 2013. It was such a fun year! I know 2014 will be even better. With new adventures and memories just waiting for us!
