2014 was another wonderful year for our family. We have enjoyed watching our children grow, enjoy new experiences and adventures.
We enjoyed going to Jordanelle Reservoir with Matt's parents. They have a boat which the girls loved to try and drive. Emme enjoyed swimming in the lake while Livi's favorite thing was riding on the inner tube at full speed. We also took the family camping for the first time in a camper. We enjoyed hiking, smores, and being around the camp fire. The girls had fun playing in the base of Bridal Falls. We took several trips to the zoo, Wheeler Farm and to our favorite hike Silver Lake. As you can tell our kids love to see different kinds of animals. Which helps as we added to our family this year. For Easter this year they received chicks. They are loving helping Daddy care for them and collect the eggs. We also got a rescue dog named happy. He is such a sweet and happy dog. He is Pomeranian mix. The kids adore him. Alex crawls all over him and the dog just licks him. Livi adores him more then we expected since she has had a fear of animals for such a long time. We always find Happy curled up next to her.
Matt and I celebrated six years of marriage with a little trip to Vegas. It was so nice to get away and spend time together. We of course took Alex with us since he was too little to be away from us that long. He seemed to enjoy the attention. It was nice to spend time together as a couple. Later in the summer Matt and I hiked Mount Timpanogos. At the top you can go through the caves and see the different rock formations. Matt is so tall it was hard for him to get around in because you can't touch anything. It was a fun experience. I died the whole way up and Matt died going down. We hope to hike it again in the future but I don't think we will do the cave again though.
Emme turned five this past November and began Pre K since her birthday fell after the school enrollment date. She is loving it. She runs full steam to class each day. She comes home giving us full report on everything. She loves her teacher and does not want to move on the kindergarten next year. She has enjoyed the holiday programs they do. She loves singing and dancing. She is our little artist. She loves to draw, color and creating. She can sit for hours drawing and be perfectly happy.
Livi turned three and is in full princess mode. She loves to dance and make up little songs. Her imagination grows constantly anything and everything can be a toy for her little plays. She has even created argument between meatballs and broccoli resulting with the broccoli in a time out. She is starting to show us the naughty threes. Since she decided to skip the terrible twos she is making up for it now.
Alex is one. He is full of energy and enjoys being into everything. He is a little monkey who climbs on the couches and chairs. He loves anything with wheels, especially his cars when his sisters let him have them. He insists on having everything his sisters' have no more baby food for this little man. At 15 months he has decided to start walking. He is already tall enough to open doors and is very good at getting into our closets.
Matt has been working in the housing in the jail. In his off time he is loves playing with our silly kids. He enjoys playing video games, watching his zombie movies. Along with hiking and spending time with his family. He likes keeping his yard neat.
Alicia continues to enjoy being a stay at home mommy. She tries to fit in a good book and genealogy in between chasing kids. After the kids go to bed she tries to work on various projects.
We are happy to add that Alex has been given a clean bill of health at his last appointment. He was born with a heart condition that we have been waiting to see if he would need surgery or not. Priesthood blessing do work as when he was only a day old he was bless his heart would be healed and it is.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all.
