Year in Review

Since this blog is new, I didn't get a chance to post when cool things happened last year so I thought I would give you a glimpse of what when on in our lives.

Jeremy graduated in May from Southern Utah University with a dregree in Construction Managament!

Since Jeremy (some would say "finally"...mostly him and kind of me) graduated from school he decided to make this "The summer of Jeremy." And so we played, not having too many worries or responsibilites. We started by attending my brother Adam's wedding on July 6th in the Snowflake, Arizona Temple. We now have a cool sister-in-law named Erin, and spent some time down there with family.

Kylie celebrated her first Birthday on July 14th. We had a little family party with some of her aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents.


She loves to open gifts!

The cake is real impressive, I know!!

But it tastes good!

These are all her cousins who came to help celebrate except we are missing Kurt in the picture.

We spent a relaxing week in Cancun with my family. I say relaxing because we actually left Kylie home at the last minute. We were prepared to take her with a passport and everything, but in the end we decided all would be better if she spent the week with some of her cousins. We are very grateful to Doug and Ang for taking such good care of her while we were gone. It was definately a much needed break not neccessarily from her, but from everything else.

The sunsets were beautiful there.

Me and my sisters Amanda, Ashley, Lexie and my new sister-in-law Erin.

These are way cool Mayan ruins in a place called Chichen Itza. We had a great tour guide that was a memeber of the church and he tied a lot of what we saw back in to the Book of Mormon. It was really intresting.

Snorkeling with the beautiful fish.

We spent a week in Park City as part of a Family reunion with Jeremy's family. We had a great time swimming and playing by the pool and enjoying each others company. We all live close, but its nice to get away from everyday life and be together.

Kylie loves the water, and I think her swimming suit was pretty dang cute.

We spent part of a day at Hogel Zoo seeing all the animals. Kylie wasn't as excited about seeing them as we were hoping she would be. Maybe she needs to be a little bit older. Jeremy loved it though!

This is the famous Ghost of the Bayou commonly known as a white alligator.


All of Kylie's Felix cousins. I think they enjoyed their time at the zoo.

Kylie and her cousin Kurt all tuckered out after a long day.

Kylie as a ladybug for Halloween. She understood the concept of eating the massive amounts of candy in our trick-or-treat bowl, but still too young to go trick-or-treating, next year we'll hit the whole neighborhood.

Kylie saw Santa 3 times this year and hated him everytime. I am pretty sure that getting pictures of her on his lap was WAY more for our enjoyment then it was for hers.

But in the end I am pretty sure she is grateful for that jolly old guy and his willingess to forgiv her and bring her gifts on Chirstmas day.

After a hugh hassle of airplane pilots not showing up for our very conventient direct flight from Cedar City to Pheonix having be to driven to St. George by Jeremy's sister Ang. Flying from there to SaltLake and then back down to Phoenix we were able to enjoy a really nice Christmas with my family down where it's warm.

Jeremy made her a rocking chair that she absolutely loves.

Our little family this year.

Kylie has found a new passion at her young age. She loves to Bowl!! And she's pretty good at it too. We had a great time on New Years hanging out with my family and continuing on with our traditions.

WOW, I must say putting this blog together was WAY harder then I thought, but hopefully it was worth it and I think I learned some things along the way. As you can see it took me about 5 days to do it, but thanks to my brother Austin I may just have things figured out. All in all I think we will look back on this year with great memories and we are very excited to see what adventures come next year.
