The last year, where have we been?

To say the least, a lot has happened since lil baby girl was born.  We are surviving and celebrating 11 months of being a family of 6 today.  Here is a recap with probably important things missing.  

Image
 We went to Hoover Dam on our way to Valley of Fire, where we camped 3 nights.   It was SOOO hot!  I brought too many blankets and never needed a sweat shirt the whole time.  We saw all the petroglyphs your heart could want to see, and made fun memories with friends!
Image
many beautiful views out of this tent over the last few months, (camping at all the race tracks).

children climbing rocks

Image
Banana splits have become a family favorite!

Image
Bicycle accident, over the handle bars.  Dr. Brett glued this one shut.

Image

Image
2014 became a year of motorcycle racing for our little Nix.  And this little motorcycle is a new addition to our garage.  Nix loves racing and is so comfortable out there.  He is fast and has won 1st place his last two races.  I'm happy he can do something he loves.  There is a wonderful support group out there at the track that he's a part of.  

Image
A Porche became part of our family.
Image

Image
And this Kawasaki is in our garage too...
Image
Oh, and look here, this is another little toy we've accumulated,  this has been an interesting year of adding to our family.  I'd like to point out that Sue has been the best addition by far!
Image
I have a sweet new nephew. And a new little niece in Utah.

Nix finished 2nd grade and was awarded his wolf badge last night.  Here is a picture of part of his class after the performance of "Jumping Mouse"

Daddy races sometimes too.

And this little peanut...  She is climbing stairs, standing up on everything, eating a ton, and making us all smile as we squeeze her chubs!!  We are all in love...  8 toothed monster!  Happy 11 months little sister!

I'm doing the mom, house keeper thing.  There are moments where it's fun and others where it isn't so fun, but overall, I'm looking forward for days without newborns, days with happy little children for a while.  Hopefully I keep this blog updated for my children to know what happened all these blurry years.
