2013

Riley started nursery(never looking back!!) and Sienna started going to primary(nervously at first but she loves it now!)

Riley learned to talk.  At the beginning of the year he wasn't speaking more than a word here and there.  Now he can sing his ABC's or any given nursery song, count to ten (always skipping 6), and has no trouble communicating his thoughts.  He says many things but one of the cutest is, "Gimme a kiss!" or "Gimme a hug!".

Riley earned his boy badge by hurting himself enough to be rushed to the instacare when he fell off the cupboard holding a plastic tub which broke and cut his face up pretty good.  The first of probably many trips?

Sisi turned 4 and got a bike!  She rides her brakes and stops for every crack in the road, but hopefully she will become more comfortable with it this coming spring.  She also went on her first roller coaster and was absolutely terrified (takes after her mommy), but was brave enough to go on more of the kiddie rides afterwards.

Tamara was able to stop giving herself shots every night!  If that isn't cause for celebration and absolute happiness, we don't know what is!

Our family moved to West Jordan into a 3 bedroom townhome!  It feels a little like cramming all our possesions into a shoebox, but even so, it feels good to be on our own again.

Riley transitioned from his crib into a toddler bed, and now he stays up pretty late every night (for at least 2 hours after we put him to bed).

It's too hard to summarize a whole year...so much happened and we made a lot of good memories.  I think my favorites are taking Sienna to Lagoon, going camping together, and taking both of the kids sledding.

I hope 2014 will be good to us!
