2012 - Well it's been another year.

About a week ago I decided I wanted to post a top 10 pictures from the year....well as it turns out I'm pretty easy to please because I liked a lot more than 10.  So this is what you get instead: 2012, a year in review, with  photos. (I know, pretty exciting.)

Doug turned 5, Jimmy turned 1, and Natalie turned 4 (and I made her an awesome cake).  Greg and I got older too, but we are far less fun to look at.

They all had birthday pictures taken too...

Natalie started preschool and Doug started Kindergarten:

There were 3 babies added to the extended family this year:

We bought a new house (try not to be too jealous of our luscious lawn):

Natalie finally finished potty-training and earned her Dora house (yea!).  Note: if you've spoken to her on the phone even one time in the last 8 months you already knew this.

Jimmy not only learned how to crawl and walk, but more importantly how to climb things so that's super-fun.

and of course we had a ton of fun with the fam at the ranch:

Of course we did lots of other stuff too....but there isn't any pictures of it so basically it never happened.
