Top 5 of 2012

1-Kadence celebrated her 6th birthday!  We went to CEU Cosmetology and got our fingers and toes painted and had cake and ice cream.  She danced until May and even received a 1st place prize for her dance duo with Haylee Warner.  Kadee also won 1st place in Reflections and was able to go to an awards dinner.  She also played soccer and loved it.  Her coach was really good but it was so cold and the wind blew the entire time!   During summer she went to swim lessons, learned to ride her bike with no training wheels, and played with friends.  In the fall she started 1st grade, gymnastics, musical minors, and girl scouts.  

2- Rory turned the BIG 3-0!!  We went to a couple Jazz games and  in May we went on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera.  Rory is still a drug court officer for Carbon County and does security a few days a month at the hospital.  Rory got to do a lot of hunting this year, just recently him and his dad shot a HUGE mountain lion.  Hopefully he won't do as much hunting in 2013!!  One of his favorite things to do is coach sports.  He was able to coach Connor's soccer team, baseball team, and basketball team.  He also got elected in as a Wellington City Council member and is over Wellington Rec.

3-Sarah turned the BIG 3-0.  Just kidding, I will be 29 for several more years :)  I had so much fun going out with friends, playing with the kids, and going on dates with Rory.  One of my favorite things we did was stay at the Little America and go to City Creek, but I LOVED our cruise.  I am already planning our next one.  I taught preschool until May, then retired from that, am have been working at Price River Water Users ever since.  I only work 12 hours a week, but I love it.  I took on the enormous task of PTA president and also became a member of our schools community council.  I love being busy and LOVE being a wife and mom.  Rory and I celebrated our 10th anniversary with a quick trip to Vegas.  I can't believe it's been 10 years, time flies when you are having fun!

4-Connor turned 8!  He was baptized a member of the LDS church and had a water/football birthday party. Connor played soccer, basketball, baseball, and football.  He wasn't a huge fan of soccer but loved all the others.  I think the highlight of the baseball season was when he got the MVP ball from his teammates.  He also got to go to a basketball camp in Lehi and meet Jimmer Ferdette.  Connor started 2nd grade and is currently working on multiplication and is one of the top readers in his class.  He started scouts this summer and went to his first day camp with the Miller family.  He loves scouts and has already earned his bobcat badge.

5.  Kinlee turned 2!  She had a water party/bbq.  She loves Minnie Mouse and sleeps with the giant Minnie Mouse grandma Bet got her for Christmas every night.  Whenever she gets mad at one of us she says she's going to go live with nana!  She has grown so much this year, we are in the process of potty training and it's not going well.  Hopefully before 2013 is over we will be out of diapers for good! This year Kinlee moved to a big girl bed,  has finally sprouted several teeth, and  loves Matthew, the little boy that is staying with us right now.  She always tells us what a good big sister she is and forces him to give her kisses.
