A Look Back In Time - 2012

It only took me until July of 2013 to get caught up with 2012.  Oh well.  At least it's done now.  This year we were busy, busy, busy carrying on with our lives.  We really enjoyed all the time that we were able to spend with family and friends.  The kids loved all the activities that they took part in.  It's always so much fun to watch them grow and develop their talents.  We will leave "A Look Back in Time 2012" with our Taylor top 10 for 2012.

10.  Ashlyn entered 4^th grade and Avery entered 1^st.  They both completed another year of soccer and still love it. 

9.  Blake has grown up so fast and has realized that he is big enough to stand up to his big sisters.  He loves to beat on them, taunt them, and wrestle them to the ground.

8.  We have had lots of visitors come to our house this year.  We welcomed many family members into our home and we had our share of unwelcome visitors as well.  Such as: a pigeon, a humming bird, and a lizard.  Don’t worry, everyone made it safely back to their homes.

7.  Avery started gymnastics this year.  She has a great talent for it.  She is very flexible and loves turning herself into a human Gumby.

6.  Ashlyn started playing softball and piano this year.  She pitched a few games during softball and also played in her very first piano recital.

5.  Erika was pressured by her friends into running the Moab 1/2 marathon in March.  It was a great experience and she is very thankful to them for pushing her to do something she didn’t think she could do.

4.  Trent took Blake on his very first Father/Son campout this year.  Blake loved roasting marshmallows and playing in the dirt for hours on end and Trent loved having his little buddy around to share in the camping (sleeping in the back of the car) experience with him.

3.  Erika and the kids were lucky enough to see the USA Women’s soccer team play in Utah.  It was a great game!

2.  Blake lost his very first tooth this year and had a visit from the tooth fairy.  It’s just a shame that it took falling face first onto the tile, and a visit to the dentist for it to come out. 

 1.  This year, Trent and Erika are celebrating their 15 year wedding anniversary.  The past 15 years have been filled with many amazing experiences and great memories.  Here’s to many, many more!
