HapPy aNnivErsAry

Its been 4 years! HapPy aNniVerSarY, babe. Of course, you all know that we get our pictures done for our anniversary because it falls perfectly at ChrIstMas cArDs time as well. This year my little sister Anna did them for us. I wanted to do something a little less traditional because (cross your fingers) next year will be more "family picture-esq". She did an awesome job and we had a fun time with them. Thx, Anna.

tHanKsGiviNg aNd cHrisTmaS tReEs

We were up in New Harmony with Rick's family for ThAnKsgIviNg this year. I did have the week before off so we were up north visiting my family for a few days. My sister Katie and her family were down from Seatle so we got to see everyone. Luckily we made it back home before that big nasty storm hit and spent ThAnksGivIng with the Prisbreys. The day after Thanksgiving in NeW hArMonY is always spent making gIngErbReaD hOusEs and cutting down our ChrIstMaS tReE. So that is exactly what we did.

Julian Aaron Kelly Waldron was born to his new mommy and daddy Julia and my little brother Aaron on Nov 19. Our sweet little guy was happy and healthy, but for some reason at 2 days old he stopped breathing and was unresponsive. Luckily they had not gone home yet and the Dr's and nurses were right on top of it to get him breathing again. He was transported to Primary Children's Hospital and they are running every kind of test to find out what went wrong. Hopefully mom and dad will get to take him home soon.

i LoVe fALL

Anyone who knows me knows that i loVe faLL! It is absolutely my favorite time of year. Fall colors, Fall weather and without a doubt Fall fashion (layers are the best). Its all about snuggling up in slippers and sweaters with a hot drink by a fire. We get to drive up to Rick's parents this time of year to check out the leaves changing and its awesome, every time.

Hannah and Micah hosted the HaLLowEen pArtY this year. It was a "MusIciAn" theme. Thanks guys, it was super fun. If any of you really don't know...... Rick and I are Kanye West and Taylor Swift. (like my VMA award? aka soccer trophy)

"sUrpRisE... mEet yOuR nEw nIeCe"

Welcome to our family Zoey Clarice Bingham, born on October 21st. My sister sent me a text out of the blue and it said "mEeT yOur nEw nIecE"!!! What a surprise! Katie and Josh are in Seattle and thought it would be funny not to tell any of us that they were expecting until they could send us this sweet little picture and introduce us to our newest addition. Mean, but fun guys we are so excited to come see her.

AtkiN - we'LL miSs yOu

Rick's dog aTkiN passed away recently. He was such a good dog. Atkin was my first experience with EVER having a pet around. He used to come everywhere with us... as you can see, he was even in our engagement pictures. He was around 13 years old and lived his last few years eXtAtiCaLLy happy up in New Harmony with Rick's parents. Atkin loved to catch bees on the deck (had to be something about the sting in his mouth, but he taught Stella to do the same thing). He loved to go for rides on the gator and 4 wheelers to play with the family or just to do the farm chores. Its amazing how pets can touch our lives and our little AtkIn will be missed.

HoT DatE

Rick got the LtD all legal and running. We decided to go out on a hOt dAtE. This car is so funny. Every time we drive it we catch people taking pictures. I guess I would too. How often do you see a DiRt bIkE on a car?

This was such a fun year and what a fun group. Our LaKe pOweLL trip is just growing each year. Great time with the new slide, around the campfire, slot canyons and getting over to the marina to enjoy some air conditioning ;)
