2011: Our Year in Review

As 2011 winds down let's take a look back at a few milestones from our year.
  • Jared spent most of the year working on his book.  It should be coming out in the Spring, but we'll have to wait and see how everything turns out.
  • Tara was busy this year with kids and projects.  She volunteered for the PTA and spent some time helping out at Oakwood, Twin Peaks, and Spring Lane Elementaries.
  • Kennedy moved from Kindergarten to 1st Grade.  She claims the best thing about school is hot lunch.  She also started taking piano lessons this year.
  • Alex graduated from pre-school and is currently attending pre-K (let's just call it this for our sakes).  He finally broke through and started riding his bike without training wheels in October.
  • Dylan started the year as our family hippie.  Back in February he celebrated his birthday by having his first hair cut.  Now, we're hoping for another milestone with potty training.
  • Vacations in 2011: Nashville, New Harmony, St. George, Bear Lake, and the Uintahs.
  • Our last milestone was getting a dog.  The kids had been asking for years and in June we finally agreed.  Kai joined our family and we're adjusting to life as dog owners.
So that's 2011 in a nutshell.  Kids are growing up, Tara and I are growing old.  Let's see what happens in 2012...
