It's been a long time...

So...where do I start!  It has been a long time since I last wrote on my blog.  Since 2012!  So much has happened in that time and I have missed out on writing and keeping up with what my family has been up to these last few years.  So I'm going to get back on the horse starting today! 

I don't want to overload you all with pictures of the last few years but I'm going to put down my favorites. Here is your warning that it's still going to be a lot of pictures. 

Last summer we got to go to Yellowstone with the Sotwell's.

                                                                      Old Faithful!
                                                                           Buffalo
                                                                        Hot pots
                                                        I mustache you a question?!
                                                                  Beautiful hikes
                                                                         Friends
                                                       Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Then just crazy life...
                                                                        First "real" haircut
                                         Eli's 9th birthday cake.  They shot at minecraft bad
                                         guys with homemade marshmallow shooters.
                                                                          Fun crafts
                                                        Goose hunting with friends
                                                            Tyler's 3rd birthday
Another 9th birthday cake.  I know I know why did we do two.  Well we did a kids party and then Keith's family came over and we needed another cake.  It was worth it though Eli was way excited.
                                              In the mix of it all we got a dog for 6 months.
                                                                       Temple trips
                                                  Friends at Mckenna's 5th birthday party
The cupcakes were marshmallows made to look like popcorn since she did a carnival theme. 
Date nights with my daughter.  We saw Cinderella at the movies and had pedicures together.  I also got a fun night with Eli so see Star Wars The Force Awakens but dumb me didn't get any pictures. 
                                                                   My new bike!
                                                                    Reading time
                                                                          Silliness
                                                      A new deck and a new back yard!
                                                              Popsicles on the deck
                                                                     THE BEARD
                                                           Silly pictures on Mom's I-Pad
                                                     Mckenna's 5th flower birthday party.
    Mischief maker.  We were late for school since I had to wash the mascara off before we left.

                                                        Going to school feeling good
                                                       Eli's 8th birthday!  Star Wars style!
Eli's baptism!
So much has happened and I know I've barely touched the surface of all the fun and craziness that has been going on these last few years.  This year is going to be loaded with lots of fun as well.  So here's to next week!
