I LOVE reading back through my blog from the years, so I don't know why I have been so bad at posting things lately. I guess it's just like loving your scrapbooks but never making the time to update them! Anyways, here I am to update a year later from my last post, oops! So starting with last year, here we go:
My absolute favorite picture I have caught of my kids together so far. I love it!
Chelsea started Kindergarten at the Irving Kindergarten Center in August 2011. She loved it so much!
Dean turned 2 on August 28, 2011. He enjoyed opening presents and digging into his cakes that each grandma made him. For his party we had a fun day of play at the Wapello School with his cousins. He had a dual birthday party with his cousin Landon, who's birthday is the day before his.
Chelsea turned 6 on September 17, 2011. She went to school and had a little party. Then we went to the pool for her actual party and had cake and ice cream at Grandma Evans' house afterwards. Pretty sure that is exactly what we did the year before but that is what she loves!
For Halloween 2011 Chels was a unicorn and a witch. This is her unicorn costume which she of course picked out herself. She is obsessed with unicorns and ponies and pegasuses.
I sort of dropped the ball when it came to Dean's costume. We were going to use the fisherman costume from the year before but at the last minute I decided to get him something unique. So, I found this pumpkin costume on ultra-clearance for about $5. He was our little "plumpkin"!
Jacob and I went to another Boise State game in December 2011. I can't remember who they played but it was their Senior Day again and their last home game. It was cold again too but at least it wasn't snowing like the year before, and we were better prepared this time! It was so much fun to get away for a weekend alone!
For Christmas we spent lots of time with family and ate lots of food. But, that's what the Holidays are all about right? Chelsea got a Go-Go puppy which they are playing with here. Dean got a lump of coal :( But it was chocolate so he didn't care!
The kids in their Sunday Christmas clothes they got. Dean looks thrilled!
In March 2012 Chelsea and I went to see Disney on Ice: Toy Story. It was really awesome and I hope to go again someday. Not to mention the weather was so nice down in Salt Lake while it was still freezing in Idaho, so that was very nice!
We took the kids fishing one cold March day and even though they froze, they had a blast. Only one fish was caught all day, by mom.
Buddy doing his fishing.
This was Easter 2012. Dean is in a stage where he doesn't want his picture taken so he runs away and won't hold still. At least they were dressed cute!
Chelsea did dance with Downtown Dance Studio this year and her recital was in May. She did so good on her dance! Mom was so proud she even teared up (silly I know). She just looked so cute and grown up!
Chelsea also did summer tennis in June 2012. It was only a month long, but it was 4 days a week so it seemed to go on and on. But she had lots of fun and so did Mom and Dean because we would walk around the block with a friend during the hour. She might have some tennis talent in her, time will tell!
In other news, I am still working part-time at Keybank and Jake is still in school. He is projected to graduate in December 2012 and we are hoping and praying everything works out that way. Our plans after that are to hopefully find a job for him somewhere. He has also looked into joining the Air Force again as an officer and we will find out news about that in November or December, soooo, we will see!
Dean is potty training right now and he's actually not doing too bad. We still need to get the #2 in the potty but as for #1 he is doing great. He is sleeping through the night and nap times and staying dry though so that is wonderful news! Hopefully it will all come together soon!
Now let's see if I can start doing better at updating sooner.

That was a nice update. I really need to update mine too but not sure when I'll get around to that.
