I've been a slacker...

So basically, we've had a ton of things happen in our lives the last 7-8 months and I've been a terrible slacker and not blogged about it at all!

A Summary:

*December 25, 2012 - We packed up our car with a few things and headed to Montana. We lived in Temporary Lodging (the Air Force Base Hotel) for about 8 weeks.

*January 2013 - We mainly stayed holed up in our cozy living quarters and waited out the freezing, windy, and snowy Montana weather. We loved having our family back together after the 4 months of separation during David's training that was Aug 2012 - Dec 2012.

*Mid-February 2013 - We got into our house on Malmstrom AFB! We did a whirlwind weekend trip back to Utah to load up our moving truck with all our boxes and furniture and bring it all back to Montana. It was a scary drive home through snowy, icy canyons. I don't think we'll be doing a DITY move again. David was also promoted to Captain!

*March 2013 - Another whirlwind Utah trip to watch the BYU Ballroom Competition, David's little sister Jessie did awesome!!!

*April 2013 - I turned 28 and Lilia turned 1!

*May 2013 - The kids and I headed back to Utah again to surprise my mom on her 50th Birthday. My sister, Bonnie, flew out to surprise her as well. After spending a week there, I met David and the rest of his family in Florida for a 5-day Bahamas cruise while my mom watched our kids. Kyla turned 3 while we were on the cruise. She was spoiled by Taylor, Grandma, and Grandpa & Mimi.

*June 2013 - We mostly enjoyed being at home, but did head to Utah AGAIN for a quick weekend trip for my cousin Eric's wedding. We also got to see the Waldrons because they were there for a wedding on the same weekend as we were. Taylor turned 5 just after we got back. He was dying to go to Chuck-E-Cheese for his birthday, but there isn't one here in Great Falls, so we went to Fuddruckers and played in the little arcade, haha!

*July 2013 - Randomly took off to Utah again for 5 weeks since David received a last minute Temporary Duty Assignment in Missouri for a few weeks.  While in Utah, we:
1) Spent a weekend in Cokeville, WY for the 24th of July annual celebrations.
2) Spent a week with all the Dayton Family and cousins, everyone but David was there. David's mom and step-dad got their mission call while we were there. They are headed to the Fortaleza Brazil Mission in February 2014.
3) Spent a week in a condo in Park City with my family. I mostly laid around in the condo or by the pool feeling sick and pregnant, but everyone else did lots of hiking and biking!

*August 2013 - I went to my 10-year High School Reunion & then headed back home to Montana. It's good to be back after a summer of being gone! I also had my first appointment for Dayton Baby #4 who is due on February 15, 2014!

I am both sad & excited for the end of this month...my sweet little baby boy starts Kindergarten, how did he get so old so fast?!
