2014 Highlights

In 2014 so many good things happened in our family. We celebrated many big events and our memories we carry on with us to the next year are fantastic ones. Here are 14 of our highlights of 2014...

1. We moved into our 6th home a basement apartment. We love it so much that we are staying a second year :)

2. Jake Oliver was born March 15th joining our family at 6:08am, 7 pounds 12 ounces and 21.5 inches long! He has had a rough start to his life but you would never guess when looking at his big smile now :)

3. We got a family zoo pass for the year. We have enjoyed having family days at the zoo watching the animals, especially watching the monkeys and going on the new water park slide.

4. We got our family pictures taken for the first time, not just once but twice.

5. We went to a couple of family weddings. Zachary's cousin Doug and Crystal were married along with my beautiful sister to our wonderful new Brother in law Brent.

6. We got three new nephews this year, two on my side and one on Zach's. Hunter and Michael were both born in July and Bentley was born in September. Its great to have boys around our little Jakes age.

7. Andie went to Shriners Hospital and we got some information on her thumbs. It was good to be able to get some information on our big decisions we have ahead of us on if surgery is needed or not for our princess.

8. We got to take a family trip to the Ogden temple open house, it was so fun to be able to take my kids into the temple with Zachary and I.

9. Zachary got his CNA license by doing a week long course. He has put his license into practice already by doing Premier Health and also seeing some private patients on the side. Zachary is loving working in the medical field.

10. I was able to go to General Conference for the first time EVER at the conference center. It was so amazing to have this special experience especially when prophets can now speak in their own language too.

11. Our little nephew Jack was baptized, how exciting it is to watch as his testimony grows.

12. We went on a little vacation weekend to Idaho. The kids handled the car ride so well :)

13. We went on many fun date nights as husband and wife and celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.

14. We celebrated all the holidays this year with cheer! It was all of Jakes first holidays, so it was fun to watch his handsome smile in all of our celebrations :)

2014 was a great year and I look forward to see what 2015 has in store for our little growing family :)
