2013 in Review

Life with 2 +1 on the way is busy busy busy. I constantly think about my blog and how I used to be really good about posting updates on the kiddos and the fam, but life happens and it's busy and it's the season I am in right now. Maybe 2014 will be better for me to blog and take the time to write...I enjoy it, and I know someday my kids will appreciate it (right boys?). So, to keep with my yearly theme....2013 in review

January:
Justin and I left the boys with my parents for 7 days and went on a cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We swam with stingrays!

February:
Lots of fun outside sledding down our "hill" in the yard and playing outside! Brekan enjoyed crawling in the snow

March:
This precious little guy turned 1! He is such a relaxed/go-with-the-flow kid. He has a cute little personality, is funny and very adventurous (we call him our little daredevil)

April:
We welcomed Ramsey to our family and Kelly turned 30!

May:
Justin completed the Kalamazoo MARATHON! So proud of him!

June:
We took a trip to a water park with some friends and had a blast. Justin and I celebrated 5 years of marriage too!

July:
Coleman turns 3! He is such a bright, sensitive and energetic boy! We are so blessed to have him.

August:
We spent some family time relaxing in Holland for a long weekend and took the boys to the beach. They had a blast!

September:
September gets 2 photos. We announced that baby #3 was on the way and Coleman started preschool!

    


October:
We made it through another busy season with daddy being gone a lot and we found out that baby #3 is a BOY!

November:
Celebrated the end of a busy season by taking the boys on the "choo choo"/train to Chicago for a weekend to visit the Aquarium. Boy was that an experience taking 2 boys to a busy city, sharing a hotel room, etc! Busy, but fun for everyone :)

December:
We enjoyed getting ready for the holidays and watching Coleman's excitement grow as Christmas Day drew closer and it was so much fun hearing him tell us all about why we celebrate Christmas (Jesus' birthday). Brekan got into all the Christmas excitement as well and even brought some excitement to the day by being in the hospital for Christmas Eve/Day with what thankfully turned out to be only a virus and nothing more serious (like an intestinal blockage which is what we thought it was).

We are SO blessed! 2013 was wonderful and I can't wait to see what 2014 brings!
