Happy New Year 2015!!

Happy, Happy New Year 2015!!!

Well, this year will be the year we forgot about the blog...:(

Big things happened and not a bit documented in this great resource...I'm trying to get us caught up so hang in there!

As crazy as 2013 was, 2014 was even crazier!  A new job, more travel, growing boys and lots of fun!

So...how 'bout the Top Five of 2014!

#1  Travels!  As a family, we visited some awesome places this year:
  • Phoenix and Sedona, Arizona
  • San Juan, Puerto Rico
  • Another Amazing trip to Walt Disney World
  • Ohio (Cincy and Dayton)
  • Ohio (New Philly and CEDAR POINT!)
And on business....no travel for Mommy, but lots and lots and lots of travel for Daddy...India (3x, thru Qatar, twice....and getting to see the Taj Mahal), London England (after missing a flight), Mesa, Arizona (10x), Dallas, Seattle (2x), Philly, Lancaster PA, and El Paso, TX!   And made Southwest Companion Pass...so more travel for free in 2015!!!

#2  Mommy and Daddy's Eleven Year Anniversary Trip!!

A wonderful trip for Mommy and I to get away and see beautiful Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire!   The lobsters were amazing!  And we got to catch them!

#3  Mr. Aidan Matthew continues to marvel us with his talents!
  • Aidan continues his awesomeness in piano this year, competing in a piano competition and scoring a 92/100!  Only two points from Superior level!!
  • Aid started in Second Grade and is doing exceptional!  His testing results showed an amazing reading ability at a seventh grade level!  Way to go Aidan!
  • Lots and lots of soccer fun this year with Indoor (League Champions!), Spring outdoor and fall outdoor....he did one practice of baseball, but unfortunately his broken arm put him on the DL for the season :(
#4  Mr. Ethan takes on school (like a boss)!  :)
  • Ethan started up this year at St. Joseph Cottleville as our big Kindergartner! 
  • He has started to read and is loving it!
  • Our big guy has found quite the talents in cooking and baking!  He and Mommy are chefs extraordinaires!
#5  Having the Perfect Summer with Megan!

Biggest summer fun ever with our nanny, Megan!  She was absolutely awesome with the boys this summer and we couldn't ask for a better person to watch our two priceless family members.  She was safe, engaging and amazing with them...we are so lucky to have had her this year!
