2011 Round-Up

The other day, someone told me they were sorry that they didn't know what was happening in my life because they hadn't checked my blog. For the record, you can't really tell what is happening in my life by reading this. But...here are 12 things that happened in 2011.

January--I went to North Carolina to see my sister and her new baby. Her husband managed to mostly avoid me other than grilling us a bird. He also took a few photos of the two of us in our new skinny jeans from Nordstrom Rack.




February---The annual IHOP for Valentine's day eating experience. My kids love this tradition. I love it too, and always feel very pretty at truck stops early on Saturday mornings.

March-- I had a party with new Utah friends. I knew it would be a great night when my friend's husband told me (in all sincerity) at the beginning of the night, that he was having a much better time than he expected.

April-- I managed to capture a darling photo of my children in their Easter attire. Hmm..not so much.

May--Dylan turned two, it has taken about 6 months for the terribleness to surface, but it has now and she can by quite tyrannical, particularly when choosing her daily attire.

June: After a 17 year absence, I made a triumphant (and still extremely carsick) return to girls camp. I celebrated my birthday there, wearing a unflattering poncho and getting the giggles during a song that was supposed to be serious. The photo if of me during our "virtue" walk. I had to wear a gold lame scarf that didn't remind me of virtue.

July: We went to Zion's National park. It was really fun and super-hot.

August: New school year, Zak turned 12, My brother and I hiked 20 miles to the top of Mt. Timpanogas. We slid down the glacier and nearly died.

September: Lucy turned 8. She was baptized in October.

October: We visited my parents in Taiwan. It was awesome. All of it. Beautiful people. beautiful country, seeing my wonderful parents in action. Loved it.


November: All of my siblings were together for the first time in a year and a half. We shared some great times and also the stomach flu.

December: Nathan was called to be in our Bishopbric. He will be great and we try not to be too loud on our bench without him.
