2017 Moments

Some of my favorite moments from 2017:

- January - 

Zoo Day
(one of many throughout the year) 






New resolve to consistently exercise (and we did pretty well!)



Kimball turned 8 months old



- February -

Mom life









- March -









- April -








- May - 






Aidan vacuuming

First time wanted to help me vacuum by himself

Purging

Decided to go through all of my clothes, papers, crafts, and so on and clean it out like crazy. It's made a huge difference.


- June - 

Date night

One of my favorite date nights of the year. Super relaxed. 




Expecting Baby #4

But only family knew at this point. 


- July -


Jayze's parents came to visit





Cars 3

Even though we switched places being in the hall with K most of the time, going to Cars 3 in the theater was so fun. 

July 24

Attended the July 24th mini celebration our stake put on. Aidan's first time bobbing for apples.



- August -

Haircut


Liberty Jail

Liberty Jail is only about 3.5 hours from us. My second or third time and Jayze's and the kids' first time. So grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith.



- September -


Exploration Place



The Exploration Place is in downtown Wichita and had been on our bucket list since we moved to Wichita. It's a science museum, and we'd heard so many good things about it. We went with some friends, and all of us had a blast. 


Derby Fall Festival



Found out gender/19 weeks along


Found out we were having a baby boy just a few days before we traveled to AZ. We celebrated at Krispy Kremes and then told our family the news during the trip. 


- October - 





Bought a second car!

Game changer. We went to the zoo as soon as our car was registered!


Pumpkin Patch

Going to the pumpkin patch and picking out a few pumpkins is one of my favorite family traditions (Jayze's and mine). We love carving one of them for a jack o' lantern and then cutting up, roasting, and pureeing the rest. This year's pumpkin patch was just the ticket, too. 





Halloween

Green screen like Gal Gadot. ;)


- November -

In the Kitchen
(probably my favorite post of the year)




Wichita Art Museum
Another thing in Wichita we crossed off our bucket list. It was free that day, so we went! 

30 Weeks Along




Carriage ride


Kicked off the Christmas season with a free carriage ride. Loved it!


- December -



Christmas




Star Wars

Jayze and I got to go on a date! We went out to eat and then watched the new Star Wars. I think it was the last movie date for awhile because despite going to the bathroom twice right before the movie, I still had to go sooo bad when it was over! 


New Years Eve

We don't have any set traditions for New Years Eve except for drinking sparkling apple cider. So that's what we did! When the kids were in bed, Jayze and I played games and I think we might have watched a movie. And we actually made it just barely past midnight before we went to bed. It was a great way to end 2017.
