I Know, 1 1/2 YEARS LATER

I realize that I haven't blogged in forever, but I might try this thing out again.
I am going to start with the unforgettable of 2012 for our family. 

#1- Mexican Cruise

Joe and I spent 7 nights cruising the Mexican Riveria.  We didn't love the cruise itself, but absolutely loved Mexico.  We had so much fun in Cabo sight seeing and ziplining in Puerta Vallarta.  It was unforgettable that is for sure!  

#2 Finding out our family of 4 will soon be a family of 5!

Our little baby boy will be here around the mid-end of March.  We are so excited, but I (Natalie) am extremely nervous about having 3 kids!!! YIKES!

#3 Joe's Dad's Passing

We are too young for this!!  Joe's Dad passed away in July of this year after several weeks of misery.  It was such a blessing not to see him suffer anymore, but like I said before WE ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THIS!  Joe was able to do the dedication of his grave and he did an amazing job.  His father would be proud!

#4  Our Eternal Family

On September 22, of this year, our family entered into the St. George LDS Temple to become and Eternal Family.  What an amazing experience and what peace this brings to me.  

#5 My Parents Moving Away :(

This last summer, my parents moved to Lehi.  What a change for our family!  There have been some tough times, but I honestly feel that I have had peace and comfort brought upon me to get through this.  I cherish every time they are around now!

#6 Jag's Lamb

Jag had the opportunity to raise and sell a lamb this year.  What a fun experience for him!

#7  Trip to Idaho with my family.

All of us sisters and our kids, except Briar :( .  Traveled to Idaho the end of the July to attend a family reunion.  What great past memories I have of this place and what fun new memories we made this year!  The best:  Huckleberry Hunting!

#8 Joe's Hunts

Joe had 2 successful deer hunts this year.  One in Colorado and one here in Utah.  These are for sure unforgettables for him.

Well that is basically our 2012.  What an amazing year!   We are so blessed.  Here's to 2013!
