Us in 2012

Here is a quick view of our last year. Real quick.

Halloween

We had a big party at our house.  We had all of the Starr clan come down to play, then took kids trick-or-treating.  Fun was had by all.  ;)

Thanksgiving

One of our favorite traditions is doing our doing our "Thankful 4's".  We write down all that we are thankful for at the beginning of the month so we have the whole month to look at these "thankful 4's", and it helps remind us what is really important.

Christmas

How did I not get any pics of all my kids standing in front of the Christmas tree this year?  Slacking.  No worries, I will make up for it this year.  What a wonderful time of year.  We tried to involve the kids more this year.  We did a little project that really helped the kids understand the true meaning of Christmas.  It was an amazing Christmas.

And I just could resist putting in a couple pictures of our sweet new bundle of joy. This was his first Christmas.

Look at that adorable smile.  Like I said, he sure makes happy!

Cakes

Still doing cakes.  Nothing near the amount I was doing in Vernal, but at least my kids are getting them.  This was Matthew's.  The Avengers.  All made out of fondant.  

Dallin's first birthday, and his monster cake.  Again, that smile!

Easter

Again, didn't get any good group pictures.  Thought this looked pretty "Easter-ie".

Easter morning.  After finding their Easter baskets.  Dallin is still sleeping.  

First Day of School

Allison is in 3rd grade (9yrs), and Matthew is in 1st (6 yrs).

Maddie is in preschool (4 yrs).  We are doing a co-op preschool between myself and 5 other moms.  Love it and so does Maddie.

Our cute growing little family.  Can you believe all that has changed sense last time?  Neither can I, neither can I.  

Getting back into the blog of things...

I wanted to find a blog I haven't used for a while. The only place I knew I could find it was on my blog. So after a couple of years of being ignored, I think I might try this thing out again. It was fun to go back and look at all that has happened. I even caught Kevin going back and looking. We have moved out to Lehi since last time I blogged, we have added one more darling bouncing baby boy to our little family, Kevin has a new business with his father, and the kids are growing up so fast.

Here is our sweet little addition, sweetest little boy who makes us all laugh.

I know it looks like he is playing with the outlets, but I promise, they are covered.  How cute is he??!!

I think this is going to be more like a journal for me, I am not sure if anyone will even read it, but it's what I need.  So, here goes another attempt of keeping a history of our growing family.
