I feel like all I ever do is catch up. This is by far the longest amount of time between blog posts. I don't have the time to journal everything that has happened over the last 7 months but I will include some highlights of the year.
September was full of lake trips, October we had lots of fun. We enjoyed disney on ice, another lake trip with our friends the Summerhays, going to the marana pumpkin patch with Uncle Denny and Aunt Cynthia, and trick or treating!
November we spent time with family and enjoyed three thanksgiving meals in two days!
December our great grandpa (Poppy) passed away. He was very old and lived a great life. He went into hospice and passed away after a week of being there. We love him very much and miss him but know we will see him again. Aiden played Joseph in his school nativity, we went to the temple to see the Christmas Lights, and visited with Santa.
January we enjoyed the last few weeks with our boys before school started again. We went to Sea World and the boys LOVED it. I didn't think Austin would enjoy it as much as he did. We are so excited to take them back very soon. Sea World is currently offering pay for a day and play for a year so we go can back for free thru December 2012, yippy!
February isn't as much fun as these previous months have been, but we are getting through. I am so thankful for my family especially my grandma and my mom. They are so willing to watch my boys and help me however they can. I have been studying a lot, more than I ever have in my life combined probably. Eric and I miss the boys so much when we are away, but know they are in good hands. Through prayer and priesthood blessings I CAN get through all of this. I can't wait for April to come and go so I can enjoy being a stay at home mom again!
