I figured before the world ends, I should do my "end of the year" post.
I'm going to skip the political and world events and just do my personal year.
2012 was a tough year for me to say the least. I don't remember much of the first part of. My husband was deployed and thats kind of what I was basing my "year" around.
In January 2012, we celebrated my last christmas with my Great Grandma Ruby. She had tumor and she barely remembered us but it was still a good memory.

On our way home, we found a super cool blue door and stopped for a few pictures.

In February, Grandma Ruby passed away. My brother, Jeremy, came home from a 6 month deployment to Afghanistan. He lived with me for a few weeks. I think we learned that even though we love each other, we are not great roommates. ;)
March wasn't super exciting. I turned 23. Kaiden was 21 months old and started sleeping in a toddler bed. He also finally had some hair growth, and it was curly! We also got to spend a lot of time with Addie and Jay-Jay!

April was a little more exciting! My husband came home from Afghanistan after 13 months!
We also adopted an American Bulldog/Boxer mix puppy from the local animal shelter. She was abused by her previous owners so it took her a bit to warm up to us. she's still skittish sometimes, but she loves the boys and they love her. She and Kaiden are besties.

Welcome Lewie!

Also in April, My husband donned a kilt and participated in the Highland Games. It was fun to watch.

In May, we found a mulberry tree in our backyard. We also celebrated my baby's 3rd birthday! He got to go camping for the first time.
 |
| "We don't know where all the berries went!" |
 |
| Happy birthday, baby! |
 |
| Mother's day! |
June was pretty fun too. We had a bonfire at my mom's for the boys birthdays. We celebrated our 4th anniversary. My husband surprised me with a trip to IL to see my family there! I don't get to see them nearly as much as I would like. While we were there we celebrated Kaiden's 2nd birthday.

And since there are so many pictures, I will make another post of the last 6 months later.
It's been fun doing this. I looked through all my old facebook posts to see what if anything happened that month.
My first few months were all mashed together this year and I didn't remember a lot of what happened.
