2013 was a year...

Blogging is one of the first things to go out the window when things get busy.
I kinda hate that.
There is just something about getting these thoughts out of my head.
Anyway....
2013 was an interesting year.
I turned 30! Yikes!
I am a lot better about it now (wink).
It was a hard pill to swallow.
So here I am sitting on the eve of 2014 and chuckling at the last year.
I remember last new years eve, thinking "ugh, I turn 30 this year" and " I am getting so old".
HAHA!
It's so funny to me how much things change in just a year.
How Jaxon went from this tiny little guy...

 To the "big" glasses wearing 1st grader!

How Dawson has come from the Baby baby stage...

 

 Into the quirky, funny, little boy stage!

 How they have grown as brothers.....

 I couldn't resist this one.

 

How... EVERYTHING Jaxon does is the coolest thing Dawson has ever seen...

 When Jaxon gets an idea... Dawson goes right along with it.
( FYI... this was ALL Jaxons idea. I don't typically dress my kiddos in cowboy gear)

 And how they fight like brothers, laugh like brothers and overall would be lost without the other one!

 These are the things that make for a great year!
So I could write a HUGE, LONG blog about the hardest parts of this year....
Or I could sum it up with this...
God moved in huge ways.
He taught us...
He protected us...
He allowed us to feel some hurt....
He watched us make mistakes...
He picked us up and got us going....
And He LOVED US!!!

So as 2014 comes in, I am being THANKFUL!!
Thankful for another year to try and be a better wife, a better mom, a better sister, a better daughter, a better friend :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
