Long time no see... or should I say write?

I have been thinking a lot lately how I had such great intentions about keeping up with a blog, and have come to realize even though I totally sucked it up for almost a year and didn't post a thing, I could still do it. There is so much going on in our lives that I just have not had time. Between work, the kids and trying to keep up with the house repairs how does one find time? 

To recap what has happened in our lives over the last several months is no easy task but here goes nothing! I will bullet it out so it is easier for me and you the reader! Our top ten most important things this last year were: 

1. Two Vacations for the family. We went to a family reunion in Oregon and had a great time seeing family we hadn't seen in ages. And then we went to Las Vegas! 

2. Both Jason and I moved Jobs. Jason now works for century Link and I still teach 6th grade but at a new much closer school in Clinton. 

3. Jackilyn started school! She loves being in kindergarten and learning! 

4. We have continued pursuit of custody of Jackilyn, hard but worth it for her well being. 

5. Allyse passed many miles stones in crawling and then walking! 

6. Both girls celebrated a birthday with fun princess party! Jackilyn turned 6 and Allyse turned one! 

7. This year we are proud to announce we are in the final stages of having our sealing in the temple. We are waiting for the final word from Salt Lake!

8. I started crafting.... and relearned to sew.

9. We got a new "used" big gas guzzling durango. (not my idea!)

10. Jason finally got a  much needed set of glasses!
