Christmas. :)

Christmas was such a blast! We spent a LOT of time down in Hurricane, a few weeks, actually. The boys loved it. :) We did family pictures, went shooting, went to the temple visitor's center, played some Christmas Eve Bingo, spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with both our families, and skyped with Grandpa Jarvis on Christmas Day. Time well spent, I'd say. :) Bridger loves playing with his cousins from both sides of the family and he's always sad to have to go home. We are too. :( It's bittersweet living 300 miles away, but what can you do? Here are some pictures...

Uncle Jarom's Birthday! :) Jarom and Marisa stayed through Christmas on Jarom's break in military training, now they live forever away in Alambama. :( At least we got to spend the whole week with them!

Christmas Eve Bingo!

This is the first year Bridger has really gotten into the bingo, he loved it. :)

New Batman PJ's. :)

Santa. :)

Ice cream maker! Whoo! :)

At the Children's Museum in St. George, he loved it!!

We ended up staying down there until the Sunday after New Years, Jeremy went back to work Monday and Tuesday, then drove back down New Years Eve. We played games all night and had a blast counting down and had some sparkling cider. :)

2013 was a great year. It's crazy to think about all the experiences we had. It was such a crazy year. I sort of hope 2014 is just a little less crazy. We had a major house flood the end of February, so we didn't live in our house for a whole month...the insurance paid a bill of $40,800! Thank goodness.

 We sold our 2009 RAV4 in April and bought a 2011 Highlander and had it shipped to us from Florida since I was due in a few weeks. Then Beckham was born the end of May...ten days later Jeremy left for AT...then during AT he found out he was starting a military school the day after he finished AT. That school lasted 3 months and was crazier than I like to remember 12 hour days/7 days a week while I had 2.5 year old and newborn at home. Regular school overlapped with his military school for a few weeks, then he finished the military school and was able to focus on regular school and work until two weeks later he left for another military training in Puerto Rico for two more weeks. He got home from that in the beginning of October. Then I helped my parents find a car at the end of December...if you know us, you know it's a super intense process, lol. Weeks of searching to find the right deal and they come from all over the country. We usually get vehicles for $4-7,000 below kbb price. Which is awesome and totally worth the extra effort. Anyway...

Our awesome RAV4. I was sad to see it go. :( It was a really good vehicle. (It came from Texas)

Highlander. :) (It came from Florida)

Can you see what I mean? whew. We are already starting a busy year...Jeremy is taking 15 credits this semester with 90 hours of volunteer internships, full-time work and drill one weekend a month. When we tell people we are busy I don't think they understand how busy...lol. But Jeremy should graduate with his BS in Psychology in August and will be able to apply to grad programs in December. He is such an amazing husband and father, he works SO hard for us and we love him for it. I am so grateful for him. :)

Happy New Year!! :)
