I am now free to blog my own blog! I have just completed a major blog project that took all 365 days of 2011! I kept a blog journal of my parents' lives everyday of the year complete with quotes, pictures, and things they did. It was a huge project and I can't believe I actually accomplished it. So that is partly why I have been amiss being here. Done now though. Let's play a bit more catch up shall we:
September 20th, 2011
We took Annie to our college homecoming parade and she sat perfectly still watching the entire thing. It was so dang hot, Q regretted his choice of outfit.

When it finally cooled off enough to stand being outside, I took Annie on a ton of bike rides. She loves riding in the bike buggy way more than her posh stroller (Q never fails to remind me that the posh stroller is lost Annie and I might as well have got one at the thrift store). January has been so warm lately that we have been a several bike rides again. I'm trying to get as many in while I can still fit on the bike.
We spent the night at Michelle's on our way to Provo to see Meg perform with the BYU flok dancers in the Homecoming parade. Annie is absolutely gaga for Becky and laughed for an hour straight at Becky who sat on the couch entertaining her. Did I mention Annie had an evil muhahahaha laugh that requires the use of her entire body and head thrown back into the air? It is hilarious. Mom has a video, I'll have to put it on.

We were just in SLC last weekend and it was summer! In a few days, Northern Utah went straight from summer to the dead of winter. We were freezing but it was fun to see Meg dance. Ydnic deemed this Annie's last road trip ever since Annie is the most defective car baby on the planet and true to her word, she hasn't invited Annie and I on a single trip since.
We borrowed a tractor to try and level our land. I say land because we have almost an acre of dirt on figure out. The problem now is that we ran out of money renovating the inside of our fantastic home so, though the dirt may me level, dirt it will remain until we can win some sort of lottery. I told Q, an acre of dirt is still way better than a yard of perfect landscape. Annie begs to ride on the tractor with Q.

I started to have a little faith in Annie's Lake skills toward the end of the summer. She finally stopped getting sick at the lake and let me tote her around in the water on a little raft. Ydnic says I'm ruining yet another lake season by having my next kid in the summer again. I couldn't agree more but school teachers only have 2 months to choose from so I didn't have much choice.
