Lagoon





To be quite honest, I hate Lagoon, but we tend go about once a year with friends.  Its a fun summer thing to do here in little Utah, especially when you're an amusement junkie like we are.

A toast to 2012

I usually like to ring in the New Year with a post to commemorate the year that's passed.  2012 has proven itself to be a pretty good year.  We have lots of things to be grateful for and lots to look forward to in 2013.

2012 in Review:

January:
So I am pretty sure we must have crawled under a rock last January because I don't have a shred of photographic or Facebook evidence that we did anything in January.  Well,  I know that Max was 7 months old then and we were just beginning our search for a new house to move to while recovering from the holidays and just flying low apparently.

February:
-Finalized our plans to move to Eagle Mountain in April.
-Started planning for the move (ugh).  That is a month I would prefer to never relive.

-My brother Jonathan came home from his mission to Boston, MA.
-We took a trip out to California to see him and the rest of the family.
-Hit D-land while we were there.
