We had a great year this past year. 
We went to the Childrens Museum A LOT!! Especially during the cold weather!

 For Brocks last spring break we took a trip to Chicago. We went to the History Museum and also the Shedd Aquarium! It was A LOT of fun!!

 Here is a picture from the underground exhibit.

 We had a great Easter. We actually had a easter egg hunt with our church play group!
Image
 We also spent a lot of time with these people!! We love them so much and were very sad to see them go... But at the same time we were so excited for them!!

 Best of Friends!!

 Here we are in Logan... we were trying to catch some fish BUT I'm pretty sure there were no fish in that pond!
Image
 We went swimming quite a bit this summer but while we were in Utah we got to swim with our cousin Addie:)
Image
 At the very end of our trip in Utah, AFTER brock took his board exam (YEA!!!) we went to Lagoon!! we had SOOO much fun! My kids LOVED going on all the rides!! I on the other hand was pregnant so I didn't get to do much BUT it was so fun to see the kids having a blast!!

 CALLIN started Junior Kindergarten!!! This was really exciting and really unexpected because we were 84th on the waiting list to get into this school district!! Two weeks after school had started we received a phone call asking if we wanted a seat in the afternoon class at the school just a couple blocks away from us! And since we really wanted him in this school district for Kindergarten we were really excited!!
Image
 So then Kylie decided she wanted to get married:) So we went back to Utah. Here we were picking all the pumpkins out of Great Grandps Hanks garden.
Image
 We got to go to the library a few times which was a lot of fun!

 Happy Valentines Day! Aren't they all just so lovable!!
Image
 We went to Ted's for a Valentines Day Breakfast:) YUMM!!
Image
After a day of finally getting over freezing we had to take advantage of the warm weather and play in the snow!!! We have enough snow in our backyard that Brock was able to make a huge hill of snow that the kiddos could sled down! We all had a blast! 

So there is our past year in a very long post but in a very quick review! We have had such a great year, Brock is now more then half way done with his Third year of medical school!! CRAZY! Planning out our fourth year has been kinda fun! Seems weird that this time next year we will know where we will be living for the next 3-4 years and we will be getting ready to move!!! It went by way fast! Well we love you all! Keep warm!!
