This was an interesting year... full of changes for us. Here are some of our most memorable moments.
January
In order to ensure our son's future success in life, we research preschools in the neighborhood and eventually settle on one for fall. We can only hope this will head him toward the Ivy League.
February
We plan and hold a birthday party for Logan with his friends. We hunt for Mater's Hood, toss bean bags into Luigi's mammoth leaning tower of ONE tire, play a rousing game of Red Light Green Light, and watch Logan inhale cake.
March
An ultrasound technician confirms what I've suspected all along, we are expecting another girl. She provides us with several professional quality photos of our little bundle of joy to mail to my siblings to announce the pregnancy. This results in some very urgent phone messages.
April
We celebrate my birthday with a trip out to eat, then to Best Buy where we upgrade our 7-year old PC to a laptop.
May
I make a trip to our family doctor with questions regarding some plantar warts that have nastily imbedded themselves on the bottoms of my feet. I leave having endured an unplanned freezing treatment. Within 2 hours I am unable to walk. I spend the next three weeks avoiding any trips out, as it takes me about 10 minutes just to walk from one end of the house to the other.
June
Jade completes kindergarten with top marks in all areas and secures a spot in the ALPS program.
We spend 5 days with 26 Rasmussens at a reunion, and survive... even enjoy ourselves!
July
We celebrate our 11th anniversary on the 11th.
We spend a day at Lagoon where I ride the Dinosaur Drop with Logan hoping to induce labor. Jade finds she is tall enough to ride almost all the BIG rides.
I miss out on taking Jade to her first day of first grade, but arrive at the hospital in time to deliver our 3rd baby.
August
We say goodbye to my dear grandpa Shields as he passed away on the 2nd.
We adjust surprisingly well to life as a family of five. Aeris survives and even enjoys being hugged and kissed constantly by her two siblings.
September
We continue a tradition of camping at the Hansen property in Midway, Utah, even with a month-old baby.
Aeris starts sleeping through the night.
Nate takes Jade to Lagoon... again. She talks about nothing else until her birthday on the 27th.
October
Eight shots and 1 thumb surgery. We spent a lot of this month at the doctor's office. Thank goodness for Tylenol.
November
Jade receives a blue ribbon for her Reflections music entry.
Aeris is wakened at 5:30am to shop with me on Black Friday. She spends the whole shopping trip asleep. What a trooper!
December
Riverton City completes a road widening project on 13400 S. For anyone who has driven on this road at rush hour, this is s HUGE improvement!
Aeris stops sleeping through the night.
We spend the final minutes of the year hanging out in our basement watching old episodes of Knight Rider on DVD.

Wow you have a good memory. I'm not sure I could go through every month and know what I did last year :) I love how you wrote Aeris was sleeping through the night at 2 months and then a few months later was not. That made me laugh. Well, a lot of things made me laugh but especially that. Life with a newborn!
That was fun to read your year in review and read about the little things and the big things. You know how to savor the small and simple things in life.
