Graduation

We are so incredibly proud of Lucas! He graduated in December with his Bachelors in Information Technology and finally got to walk to make it official! My parents and his dad were able to come see him walk. He even got a surprise visit from the Wastarts! He has completed an internship and even been offered a regular position! This is what we have worked towards for the past 4 years and it is finally playing out! I continue to work part time from home for his dad's company, which is the job he was doing while going to school.

St George Adventures

Living only 3 hours from my in-laws 2nd home has been so much fun for us! It is so nice to have a place to go for a quick weekend get-away! I think we are probably at their house more than they are!

In January we went down to the house and contacted our old neighbors that moved down there. My kids absolutely love them and their 2 cute dogs! We met up with them at a park. It was such a beautiful park that has all kinds of plants and rocks and a stream. We walked around for awhile and then decided to hike up the hill behind the park with more big rocks. It was beautiful, and so was the view! We had so much fun with our friends and can't wait to go to that park again!

Went went down again in March because the pool was finally finished!!! We had so much fun swimming and invited our friends over for a pool party! We swam, barbecued, and made smores! We are excited for many more fun times in that pool!

3 Year Old Tyson

Tyson was very excited for his birthday this year! He really wanted to have a birthday party with friends. Every time I asked him what he wanted for his birthday his response was, "I want Caleb and Paul!" Ok! We had a small dinosaur birthday party and invited Caleb and Paul! Tyson loves his friends and was so excited to celebrate with them! He is growing too fast!

He picked Teriyaki Grill for his birthday dinner

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This Christmas we had my entire family here again! Before everyone came, we decided to fit in a home project. We updated the flooring in our bathrooms and I was amazed at the difference it made! It was a fun project and not too hard to do.

(I finally finished the cabinet in April, so here is the finished "after")

Before my family came, we had fun at the annual Pitcher family gingerbread house party that my aunt and uncle put on every year.

I just love how my town decorates at Christmas time. It really makes you feel in the Christmas spirit!

We had fun celebrating Christmas with family and enjoyed just hanging out. One day we decided to go bowling, which ended up being a lot of fun!

Each year I give my kids something I make. This is the picture I painted For Madi's room.

This is the picture I painted for Tyson's room.

We ended up going to Colorado for New Years so we could see Lucas's parents. The kids thought the airplane was the coolest! Now whenever Tyson sees an airplane in the sky he gets all excited and says, "Mom! That's a big airplane, just like what we went on!" It was so exciting that they both stayed awake for the entire red-eye flight we took home!
