JANUARY
We kicked the new year off with the Kelvingtons,
and then back home to a freezing house, waiting for Jim to finish Airbus training.
FEBRUARY
I'm pretty sure the kids were sick this entire month.
I remember this trip to the zoo was so fun because I was craving a good family outing, and this hit the spot.
I took a last minute, surprise trip to Florida to hang out with Jim while he was working there for the month.
MARCH
You know what's weird about March? There's never very many pictures to sift through.
The big news is always that the sun came out for a minute, so we went and played in it.
APRIL
April is one of my favorite months.
So much promise of the sun returning, and everything blooming back to life.
Also, going to Texas in April was awesome.
MAY
Lice.
May, the month of lice.
See all our lice haircuts?
This was a fun lice outing. We kept the infested home from church and went to this cool place to let the animals out of their cages for the afternoon.
Little yellow bird.
May was also the month we packed up and moved.
and learned how to ride bikes,
and play with neighborhood friends non stop.
JUNE
School's out!
A tearful good bye to the best teachers...
...and hello to summer adventures.
I loved the summer of 2015. The kids' skin turned the brownest brown because they spent so much time outside.
Cousins in St. George,
The Subway in Zion,
JULY
Cousins in Fallon,
lots of cousins in Fallon.
AUGUST
I went to Texas in April,
so Nettie came to Washington in August.
All our August home improvement plans came to a screeching handlebar flipping halt when Jim wrecked his shoulder.
He becomes sling-man.
Back to St. George to see
Owen
and
Braxton.
The waning days of summer...
a trip to the Oregon coast...
...and one or two last days at the local beach before a storm blows in and school starts.
SEPTEMBER
Labor Day
Surgery of the shoulder prolongs sling-man.
It's fun to go out to eat with only one child while the other two are at school.
OCTOBER
NOVEMBER
Another surprise, last minute trip to Florida!
DECEMBER
You can tell what party animals we are...it's still new years eve and I am blogging, laying in bed, under a fluffy comforter, with my kids asleep in the tent, tired after a big party with our friends (but not too big), and Jim laying next to me looking on his computer.
I'm never really sure what the rule is for what pictures get posted in these annual year review roundups,
but this year it was a combination of
big events,
pictures that never got posted but that I like,
and
my favorite moments of the year.
2015 was awesome.
1 triathlon,
1 half marathon,
7 flights - 2 to Florida, 1 to Texas,
a new house,
new friends/neighbors/teachers,
lots of fun family vacations.
