Not that I've ever been a real great blogger, in terms of being consistent, but 2011 was by far my worst year for blogging. Will 2012 be any better? Probably not but I'm going to give it a whirl I wouldn't bet on it if I were you . I just haven't felt motivated to blog.... which is why this post hasn't even been edited and is very "rough looking" damn I suck at this! It's because I'm so busy lazy?
I'm very optimistic about this year... I feel change on the horizon.. maybe not major changes, we aren't moving and no I'm not preggo! But good some small changes. We'll see!
Being that I'm still not super motivated today or feeling very creative this post will be the tradition recap of the previous year. Here goes!
January- Lots of playing in the snow, prepping for baby Pate, and Mom "moved in" (she stayed with us for a couple months)... did I mentioned she's the best????? The picture of the three of us was January 31st.
At 10pm on January 31st I checked into St E hospital in Lincoln and at 12:41pm Payton Reed was born! Hard to believe that was almost a year ago. The picture of Kailee and him is the moment she saw him.
March- Kailee is shed hunting with Dad here....
Kailee got her hair cut short in April, she looked too grown up! Kristin, McKenna, and Mom were all here for Easter!
In May we spend the month watching Pate grow
June we traveled to the panhandle to spend the week with the Tuttle (and soon to be) clan. This is the weekend when Liz and I officially became Outlaws!
At the end of July we traveled back to NM and were lucky enough to be able to attend/be part of the Boyle wedding! It was great to see our friends get married and we had the best weekend with family/friends!!!
August was crazy... it included two full weeks of travel for me and when I returned we packed up and moved! We (all of us including the horses) have room to run now!
September- Pate has a new obsession with horses, live ones and fake. He loves them. My long lost bf came up to visit... love her!!! September was scary for us though, Kailee spent four days in the hospital with a kidney infection. She was a trooper though and I stayed by her side the whole time... we had fun playing board games and cuddling in her hospital bed. Turns out this may be a life long issue she has to deal with but we'll face it as it comes!
In October she turned five!!! We spent the day at American Girl store where she picked out her new friend "Julie". I turned 27... but we won't talk about that.
November was full of family!! Tio and Outlaw came to visit us. It was so great to see them! For Thanksgiving we traveled to Kentucky where there was LOTS of jumping on/off of furniture, great laughs, game time with family, and yummy food thanks to mom!
December seemed to fly by, we spent Christmas at home, just the four of us and lucked out... the weather was beautiful. Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
