2011: Year and Review

The year of 2012 was GREAT!  Sure it was filled with high levels of stress, little sleep, life changing decisions, and total chaos - but I couldn't ask for a better year!  It was definitly a busy year, but hands down probably the most FUN I have ever had with my family, my friends and my sweet precious babies.  We made some GREAT memories this year and here were my favorites...
Ashtyn Faith turns THREE years old! 
We celebrated with all her friends, family and a BOUNCE HOUSE!
It's crazy how fast she is growing up - but what a blessing she is! 
 Turning 30 and trying to take my mind off the depressing event by going to Nashville with our besties!  Could not have asked for a better place to celebrate my birthday and have now fallen completely in love with that city - can't wait to go back.  Great memories were made that trip...

My mid-life crisis...
Deciding to put our house up for sale, watching it sell in 6 days and moving into my in-laws basement in less then a month - what the hell were we thinking?  Some days I ponder that question over and over, but it has brought a sense of relief to our lives and allowing us to enjoy more things then ever before...
still dreaming of that next house though!
Celebrating Eli's FIRST birthday!  My little monkey turned one and it definitly tugged on my heart a bit - I am not sure I am ready for him to grow up - his sweet smile and spirit melt my heart every day... 
 OUR NEW HOME!
Matt and I living out one of our dreams and buying a trailer. Giving way to the BEST summer ever, making unforgettable memories and exploring the beautiful country we live in - We can't wait for May to show her pretty little face... 

 The BEST summer EVER!
Camping and spending long days at Baseline Lake...
Visiting Jelly Stone National Park in Estes...
Taking a 13 hour road trip to Lake of the Ozarks...
and finishing the summer off in The Black Hills...
BEST SUMMER EVER!
Ashtyn starting Preschool and what a big day that was.  It's so exciting to see her experience these new challenges - watching her make friends, learning about numbers, letters and science and being so excited to share it all with her family - it's amazing to watch and be apart of!
Training for and finishing my first 10K EVER on Thanksgiving day!
I was very proud of myself and still love to RUN!
Sharing the holidays with the Trujillo family!
What a blessing that was...
Bye, Bye 2011 - you were AWESOME, but we are SO ready for 2012...
Here's to health,
maybe a little bit of wealth wouldn't hurt,
and to family and friends!
