Well here is is......2012! Where does the time go? I have thought about some new resolutions for the year. I did not want it to be anything that I would give up on or forget about in the next couple weeks or months. So one of them is to keep up my blog. I am not going to say it will be updated every week....but I will try to keep it updated. I really think it will be good for me to keep up on it for my extended family, but also for me. It is almost like writing in a journal...with pictures!
2011 had it's up's and down's.
We all lost my dad in February..... It was a horrible thing for all of us to go through. I know he is in a better place and is now in no pain....but it is hard to not have him here to enjoy life with. I think of all the things that he is missing....but he really isn't....he actually is helping us more now than he could of before. I sure do miss him!
In March, Brinley turned 6 years old....ready for 1st grade! My color guard took State Champions again for the 2nd year! It was really cool to acheive that goal again this year.
April.... Austin's soccer team won first place in their division & Taylee was in her school play "Snow White & Friends" as Briar Rose. I am very proud of them and all they are accomplishing.
Brinley played soccer for the 1st time and had her dad be her coach.
May....Austin turned 13! Yes I have a teenager in my home! He has been great so far!! I have heard stories and I was one myself....but so far so good. He participated in the iron man at his school and won 5th place out of the whole 7th grade boys! I was very proud of him! The kids all had their dance recital....always so fun to watch and Austin won the Clogging scholorship for the year! He was so suprised!! My sister Jaycee got married to River also this month. This one a great time for our family. My brother Bryan and his family came home for the wedding. 
June.... Taylee turned 10 years old.....we went to Bear Lake with our family & Chris & Austin went to Basketball camp in St. George for a week.....then Austin went to scout camp for a week. They were not home much this month. I participated in the Cancer Walk as a survivor. That was a neat experience. My family all wore melanoma shirts in support of me. I survived my first Father's day without my dad. I don't think we knew what to do...so we went to my mom's.
July.....Chris celebrated a birthday....celebrated 4th of July and 24th of July with families.
August......took another trip to Bear Lake... got ready for school....Austin marched in a couple parades with the marching band.....Taylee got a 1st place ribbon on her quilt for the fair. I had a birthday and started the downhill to 40, so exciting!
September.....we all started school one way or the other, Chris college at USU, the kids at school and me teaching at BATC in the evenings. Life just got busy!! Chris is also subbing for the school district and coaching Austin's soccer team.
October.....still busy.....celebrated Halloween
November..... Austin marched in the Vetrans Day parade in Ogden with the marching band. Very cold and wet....but good experience. Celebrated thanksgiving at Grandma Braegger's house this year. Chris started helping coach the freshman basketball team at the high school.
Austin has been playing basketball on a comp team.
December..... had a great christmas....we all got spoiled ...like always....anxious to start this new year out right!

Yay!! I sure do miss your blogging so keep it up.
Funny, i thought about your dad the other day. On Christmas to be exact. I remember his funeral was the first outing I took baby Drake too. I couldn't believe it has almost been a whole year.
Then came Christmas Eve and I thought of him again. His big smile and his warm, booming voice. Sure loved him. Hope you know how much he meant to all of us, and as the anniversary of his death comes up, I hope you feel him near you!!!
Lots of love...and happy new year.
