Sum UP

Wow! I suck at this.  I just noticed that I have not posted in over 18 months.  That is a really long time.  Let's recap - no that will take too long, let's sum up.
May 2013 - My 29th birthday.  Getting older.
June 2013 - Wesley baseball.  I coached and learned patience in the process.  4-5 year olds learning baseball (t-ball) is stressful.
July 2013 - Lagoon with Grandma and Grandpa Meyers.  Then the Hogle Zoo the next day.
August 2013 - Started the month by traveling to Richmond, VA for my nephews baptism.  We got to visit the National Mall, the Smithsonian, Arlington Cemetery, and Mount Vernon.  Also went to Virginia Beach with my brother and his family.  Once we got back we got a call for Kyle to meet with the Stake President.  Being the obnoxious person that I am, I cracked jokes all the way there about putting him in the bishopric.  I should learn to shut my mouth.  Sure enough, that is exactly what they were doing.  Kyle was called to be the second counselor in the bishopric. At the end of the month Wesley started kindergarten.
September 2013 - School and Kyle coaching cross country.
October 2013 - Halloween - Wesley was a knight, Jon was Superman and Nate was Spiderman.
November 2013 - Kyle's Birthday then Thanksgiving at the end of the month.  My brother flew in from Virginia and we were able to bless  his new baby while he was here.
December 2013 - Christmas at the cabin in McCall with Kyle's family.  We announced that we were expecting another child to join us in August 2014.
January 2014 - Return to school.
February 2014 - Nate turned 2.
March 2014 - Jon turned 4.  We had an ultrasound and found out we were expecting a girl for the first time.  Wesley said, "I told you so!" at the hospital.  He wanted to make sure we all knew he had told us before the ultrasound tech had.
April 2014 - Wesley turned 6. Spring soccer with both boys being coached by Kyle.  Both Wesley and Jon got to make goals this year.
May 2014 - I hit the big 30!  Age is just a number though.  I still act like a kid sometimes.
June 2014 - Yellowstone at the beginning of the month.  Still a little cold, but got to see some really cool things - Old Faithful, Prismatic lakes and bison.  T-ball for both Wesley and Jon.  They were on different leagues though.  Wesley was on a just 6 year olds league and he even got to hit off a pitch since his coach was willing to pitch to them.  Jon was on the 4-5 year old league and got to learn his own patience with his coach and teammates.  He is way to competitive for co-ed t-ball.   Kyle and I got to go with the youth in our ward to the Manti pageant.  It was amazing.  The young women asked really inappropriate questions about pregnancy.  They were a goofy group.
July 2014 - Reddington Roundup - swimming at Lava Hot Springs.  Ward Campout - we didn't campout since I was less than a month away from my due date.  Alexandria Layne Meyers was born July 28th.  She was 10 days early, but she was big enough.  Weighing in at 9lbs 5oz and 21 inches long, she is definitely my biggest so far.
August 2014 - Back to school for Kyle and Wesley.  Wesley started 1st grade.  Kyle got his math teaching certificate and is now teaching full time as a math teacher at Minico High School.
September 2014 - I am off work and just hanging out with my kiddos at home.  Kyle is coaching cross country.
October 2014 - I go back to work at the beginning of the month.  Miss my little girl terribly.  She is an amazingly adorable baby.  (I am a little biased.)  Halloween this year Wesley goes as Captain Jack Sparrow (I let them watch Pirates of the Caribbean a few weeks prior), Jon goes as Iron Man, Nate goes as the Hulk (I thinks 2 year olds really relate to the Hulk and smashing things), and Alexandria is the new Minnie Mouse.  I am the old Minnie Mouse.  I am in red and Lexi (Alexandria's nickname) is in pink.  Kyle does not dress up since he says he quit doing that when he got too old to dress up.  Guess I never really grew up did I?  I haven't missed dressing up a single year yet.
November 2014 - Kyle's birthday.  He is now 33. 
Since we are finally caught up I will try to do a better job of staying caught up.  We will see how well that goes.  Till I write again.  Adieu!
