It is now 2017, a brand new year. I love that every New Year's Day brings a feeling of a clean slate. This year can become whatever we want it to be. As I take a look back at this last year I can't help but feel blessed. We had moments of hardships, blessings, miracles and fun. I'm grateful for it all.
Our 2016 . . .
JANUARY - We started out our year of dates by going to the ice castles. It was also the month that my parents officially started their mission in Europe and we got to say our goodbyes at the annual ice skating party.
FEBRUARY - We were able to attend the Provo City Temple open house. It was also a surprisingly warm month for it being February.
MARCH - My birthday month! The biggest highlight however was finally making a trip to Arizona to visit Danny's best friend and his family. Traveling will always be one of my passions.
APRIL - I technically got pregnant in March but it was the first of April that we found out. I was so happy to finally see that positive sign.
MAY - We decided it was time to get rid of Addie's binky. It was a sad but necessary step.
JUNE - Danny's birthday month!
JULY - The gender ultrasound revealed that we were expecting a BOY! I also went to my first concert.
AUGUST - We celebrated our third anniversary with a night out. It was our first time spending the night away from Addie and she struggled.
OCTOBER - With this being our last Halloween as a family of three we decided to dress up as Little Red Riding Hood, the bad wolf and the grandmother.
NOVEMBER - We spent Thanksgiving with the Fergusons and Addie was chosen for a free photo shoot.
DECEMBER - Hudson was born!
Last year I had said that I was looking forward to Arizona, more dates with Danny, reading The Book of Mormon and making sure 2016 was full of family memories. After wanting to go to Arizona for a few years now we finally made it happen. It was really fun and I'm glad we went. Danny and I were able to do all the dates I had planned except for one. We never did go hiking but 11 out of 12 isn't bad. I read The Book of Mormon this year in Portuguese and Danny finished the Doctrine and Covenants. Our biggest family memory this year would definitely be adding Hudson to our lives.
At the beginning of last year I was beginning to lose hope that we'd end 2016 as a family of four. But our sweet bundle of joy came just in time. :)

This year we look forward to Danny's graduation from UVU and applying this fall to grad school. We made commitments as a ward to read The Book of Mormon as a couple as well as individually, so instead of starting the Old Testament like I thought I would I will be reading The Book of Mormon again which is fine. Hopefully Addie will be potty trained this year and I'm looking forward to Hudson reaching all the fun milestones. We also plan on going on our biggest trip so far as a family to California and as of right now Danny might also be taking a trip to Portland to do a presentation. Bring on 2017.
