Year in Review 2016

I always love looking back at my year in review posts to see everything that has just happened in the year prior. In 2016 was no different and we had a few highlights happen, here is our main sixteen from sixteen (get it)...

1. We were getting a hang of the three children life, it was a handful but a blessing.

2. I had some health struggles (arthritis and headaches) and of course we got hit a few times throughout the year with nasty colds, ear infections and coughing episodes. The kids handled the sicknesses like a champ.

3. We bought a new to us van, we love our O'Malley Junior. He has been such a great addition to us, even when we had to pay for a whole new transmission after having him just a couple of months.

4. Jake celebrated our traditional second birthday at the aquarium. Jake also loved his Baymax birthday and the decorations Mom and Dad attempted to make with no templates haha.

5. We made it on our yearly Disneyland trip! Jake discovered how amazing Cars Land was and then created the start of his McQueen love.

6. Andie had her birthday turning four years old! She had a Jessie from Toy Story theme because Disneyland created this obsession when she met the characters and got a Jessie doll of her very own for her souvenir.

7. We started doing regular family home evenings again, it was hard to get back in the habit after being broken for so long I don't suggest that to anyone.

8. Andie started Preschool (and sunbeams this year).

9. We celebrated six years of marriage!

10. Halloween was fun as Andie being a witch, Jake being Jake from the Neverland Pirates and Brooklyn being a little black cat for her first Halloween.

11. Brooklyn Riley turned one!

12. Jake got stitches, the first of any of our children to get them.

13. We found out we were pregnant with another little Wadsworth but that only lasted 2-3 months before we lost our special baby to a miscarriage.

14. My brother Jordan got married to his long time girlfriend (she also waited for him while he served his mission).

15. Zachary lost his job and we knew we would have to move into the parents basement as we got back on our feet. Zachary also applied for the Rad Tech program with Weber.

16. Snowy Christmas Day was a dream come true and the kiddos didn't disappoint with their excitement from the arrival of Santa with their presents.

I am so excited to see what 2017 brings our growing family!
