2012 Retirement Post

It's time to take down the old calender and replace it with something new. I thought this year I would look through the old one and see if there was anything written that I didn't blog about (I'm sure there were A LOT of things) so here goes...

January: Jess got a new tooth on the 11th! Don't ask me which tooth or how many this now makes but I did write it on the calender. Payton had his first pack meeting with the Riverbend ward. He's loved the scouting program and became a wolf six months before he turned nine. We have to attribute that to his scout leaders, Karen Evans and Nancy Wood. We'll see if we're that disciplined in this new ward.

February: Pack Meeting was on the 16th and it was the Pine Wood Derby. I'm thinking I blogged about it already. Notice how I skipped over the 14th? Must have been because I don't remember making any Valentine Day memories.

March: Spring Break was from the 12th-16th. I'm sure we did SOMETHING but nothing is coming to mind right now. The 26th was opening ceremonies for Little League Baseball. Payton loved playing and I really enjoyed his coaches this year, the Salisbury's. The 27th Jess got another new tooth. Once again, who knows which one!

April: On the 5th was the Spring Fling. Guess who didn't go? Easter break was from the 6-9th and I do know we had fun playing with cousins that weekend and finding many filled eggs!

May: Porter went on a field trip to the Staheli Farms with his Kindergarten class on the 3rd. Payton's field trip was on the 7th and I can't recall where they went or what they did. Great mom moment, huh? Jess took her first steps on the 16th. That same day Payton had his last baseball game. I probably should have kept track of the win/loss record, but I didn't. The 22nd was Porter's last day of kindergarten and his graduation. He loved his teacher, Mrs. Key. Payton ended his last day of school on the 23rd.

June: The 9th was the Huntington/Clove Family Reunion. We celebrated my Aunt Ada's 99th birthday at the Community Center in Hatch. The 25th we had our Power and water turned on at our new house. The 26th our new appliances were delivered as well as the carpets cleaned and the locks changed at our new house. The 28th was our last night spent in Fox Cove. Moving day was the 29th--which Todd did mostly all of it while I was at work that day.

July: The 3-4th was supposed to be the Esplin Family Reunion but because of fire threats we couldn't get to the property on Cedar Mountain and it was canceled. On the 19th Payton earned his Wolf and spent his last pack meeting in the Riverbend ward. On the 29th Jess turned ONE!!

August: We celebrated 11 years together on the 10th. School started on the 15th for the boys. New school, new friends, new fun! Todd's B-day was on the 31st and was spent on the mountain for the Turek Family Reunion. He's such a good sport to spend his b-day with my family.

September: Turek Reunion continued from the 31st of August through the 3rd of September. Our Family Vacation was spent in California from the 12-16th. Porter celebrated his 7th birthday on the 17th and took donuts to school for a treat. On the 29th Payton had a scout day camp at Staheli Farms. It lasted from 8am-1pm and he loved it!

October: Ryan and Nicci Reidhead blessed their twins on the 7th and Todd blessed one of them. I'm thinking it was Conner, but can't really remember. The Harvest Hop was on the 15th and the deer hunt was from the 20-27th. Todd got a good one again this year. The primary program was on the 28th and all three kids had their parts memorized this year!

November: Girls Weekend was the 2-4th in Milford. Payton went on a field trip to watch The Sound of Music at PVHS on the 6th. Porter's class was supposed to go too but ended up getting to go to the 2450 park instead (not enough room in the auditorium). Julia's 4th b-day was on the 11th. The 23rd we had a Topham/Calico/Hiatt reunion with dinner at Julie's. Todd didn't show up until way late because he went quail hunting and forgot about the party. He got a bit of grief from everyone.

ALMOST DONE. I'm starting to wonder what prompted me to write any of this down anyway, but since I'm almost done....

December: Payton's first ball game was on the 1st. They lost. We missed our ward Christmas Party on the 6th because G-pa Roy was in the hospital and we went to visit him instead. Good thing we did because he passed away on the 9th and we had a funeral on the 14th. The next day Payton celebrated his 9th Birthday. On the 19th we went to The Beehive Home with g-ma Julie and sang some songs for the R.S. sisters there. Payton did his 3rd grade play on the 20th. He did such a good job! That brings us to Christmas break from the 24-Jan. 2nd (today).

And there you have it!!
