Sisters

With Hayes at school all day and Kamri not having preschool for a few weeks after we moved, Kamri and Lyla have had a lot of time to spend together and have become such good friends. 

 Lyla was sick a few weeks ago and we had to take her to the doctor. She had to get a steroid shot to help her croup and Kamri was so worried about her crying. She hid in the corner and covered her ears. It was almost like Lyla knew because she didn't even cry from the shot.

Kamri told me her drawing was of Lyla and we'll just say that Lyla was reciprocating with a picture of Kamri.

Kamri comments often to me, "I love Lylie!" From the amount of times Lyla copies Kamri I know she loves her too! It's so much fun having Lyla old enough for them to play together!

Did you notice Lyla's scrunched up nose in every picture, she squints and yells "Cheese!" whenever I bring the camera out.

Farewell 2012!

It has been a big year for our family! The end of a stage in life we entered into three years ago. Which makes it hard not to compare 2012 with 2009. Bracken and I like to refer to 2012 as the anti-2009.
2009 we got robbed in Costa Rica, we left a home we loved, Bracken stopped having an income, he started law school, and our son Dane was born early and was only here with us for four short days.
2012- We didn't get robbed on our trip to a foreign country, Bracken graduated from law school(!!!!), he started having an income again, we moved into a home we love and I made it past 26 weeks being pregnant!

There were great times in 2009 just like there have been stressful times for us this year...but you get the idea!

I look forward to 2013! I have a few general ideals I want to achieve next year but haven't narrowed them down to specific goals yet. Healthier eating, more fun mom, enjoy moments, precision instead of eh, good enough....that kind of thing...

I'm glad I made it the year blogging and even though I wasn't perfect at it, I still feel like I achieved the goal and now I realized I CAN do something everyday if I set my mind to it...no excuses. This year it will studying scriptures daily.

I'm for sure taking the day off blogging tomorrow, but I'll still try and keep the good ole' blog updated at times. Thanks to those who commented, it made blogging much more fun for me!
