2014 Wrap Up

I'm not sure if it's the photo collages that take up too much time, or the fact that my photos in general are less amazing.  (Since straying from the iPhone, I'll admit, I have been less satisfied with the ease of a camera in my pocket).  Alas, I've let the rest of the year go by without anything really interesting to show for it.  Quite honestly, there wasn't a lot going on.  The holidays were fantastic, with a visit from my brother Dave and a turn around visit for me to Arizona. A few weeks and then Christmas with the Morrell's.  And now, here we are - with New Year's upon us.

A little update of our family:

Mark is enjoying his time over at the Utah Jazz organization.  He is working as a VIP manager there, specifically over the suite holders and maintaining their relationship with the Jazz organization.  Its a busy job that lets him exercise his customer service expertise daily.  He is currently writing a second book, which will be entirely his own book about leadership techniques and traits.  He is serving diligently as the Young Men's President for our ward and trying to pick up his Basketball skills again.  He enjoys reading, attending/watching sporting events, and being with his family.

Kaylinn (I) am still loving being at home with Cameron.  I really do try to focus most of my energy and time into raising him.  We have "preschool time" where we sing songs, read books, color, play with play dough, and "exercise" to keep our bodies healthy.  On days when I am not so productive, I like to watch "Reality" TV, scrapbook, sew, write cards to friends, and read.  I serve as the Primary Music Director in the ward and never paid enough tribute to those who have served before me. (It's a LOT of work!)

Cameron is our perfect little child.  We knew we struck gold when first saw his face, and watching him grow has been a daily confirmation of what a blessing it is to have him.  He is a fan of all things Disney.  Refers to Mickey as "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" in all settings.  Has a very strict diet of Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches, Mac and Cheese, Chicken Nuggets, and chocolate milk.  All other foods are a struggle with his 2 year old opinions.  Really doesn't like meat of any kind.  Addicted to any screen; that's been fun.  Completely Potty Trained! Can count 1-20, knows all the big and little alphabet letters, and has 3 scriptures memorized. AND - has recently started praying on his own. Not going to lie - I'm super proud. Loves his Uncle Tom, and cousins Carter, Spencer, and Bennett.  And the Bouche boys.  Loves going to the park and riding the "blue car" around the neighborhood...there is so much.  Suffice it to say that the is delightfully fun and I love him.

Although the end of the year left my blog high and dry, I do want to continue doing it.  (I'm aiming at 6 per month next year)  It helps in my scrapbooking and keeps my memories strait.  I am beyond excited for a new year to start and all the "freshness" it brings.  I love my happy, happy family and pray that the Lord will bless us with more in 2015.
