It's 2013! Let's review...

I've wanted to be a blogger and since it's a new year, I thought I would start fresh. We've had quite the year.

• After a 7 year hiatus in the baby making business, Oakley joined our family January 30, 2012. He was 12 weeks early & a whopping 1 pound 12 ounces! He came home from the NICU on his 3 month birthday and it's been awesome.

• Ernie celebrated his 1 year mark as bishop of the Lansing Ward

• Eden went to girls camp for the first time.  I almost wasn't sure she was going to make it because she loves her mom so much but she did just fine.  Daisy was a 3rd year and Cheyenne a 5th year Youth Camp Leader. 

• Squeezed in a trip to Idaho to see the Stone side between Girls camp and Youth Conference.  

• Ernie went to Scout Camp.

• Girls started school!!!! Kylen = 3rd grade at Donley Elementary; Ivy = 5th grade at Whitehills Elementary; Eden = 7th grade at MacDonald Middle; Daisy = 9th grade at East Lansing High and Cheyenne started the Early College at Lansing Community College.

• I'm still taking classes at Lansing Community College

• Ernie is still working on his Masters in Science Administration with a focus in Sports Administration at Central Michigan

• Quiet Christmas at home 

and last but not least....

• my sister Lisa and her chitlin's came to visit! They were here for about 9 days. It was a loud and crazy 9 days but a fun 9 days. Shopping, hair coloring and dance chaperoning.
