Nearly a year already?

Yep, its been almost a year since my last post. Sorry folks... we barely just got our internet hooked up today at home. I'm loving it already!!!
I have been working on putting together a video of all the pictures from this past year, and I am hoping to be able to post it on here for everyone to see, but just in case i will post a few pics with this post.
hmm...I really don't know where to start...to sum it up...
We celebrated Korben's first birthday (on his birthday 4/7/12) with family and it was great! He loved it! His auntie Marisa made his cake and it was a Radio Flyer Wagon with a baseball bat and ball in it. So Cute!
Easter was a blast! The kids had so much fun and it was great to actually have green grass instead of snow. It was a beautiful day!
Lets see... Oh course more family get togethers...BBQ's, potlucks, swimming, valleyball, and this is just an ordinary day here.
We had a great garden this year! We canned corn, tomatos, salsa, sweet N sour sauce, peaches, plums, and tons of Jams and Jellys. And of course we ate so many fresh fruits and veggies it was heavenly!
We went camping a few times which the kids loved! Kyzer was so excited to move to Idaho and guess what he was most excited about... Catching a catfish... well, guess what!... HE DID! He was the only one in our family to catch one all year.

For the 4th of July we went to the Island here in Emmett and watched the town fireworks show after our family BBQ of course. The kids love Fireworks! We always have Ben's Family reunion over 4th our July weekend and so it was a couple days after and sooo much fun! Races, games, swimming, EATING, visiting, learning about all the different cultures, its a wonderful thing to have all this family around. Every year we have a Theme, this year it was "Indian Pow wow" (I Think, lol) so each family was assigned a different tribe, ours was Nez Perze.

All the little Indian Braves

Our Little Kyzer man turned 4

 We now have a Gold Dredge, its fun to use and yes, we did find some gold with it!

 Our little guys are growing up too fast. They love each other so much!

 Adorbs!!!

 Our Hunting trip to Orofino in October. Ben got a Trophy WhiteTail.

 No Words

 We Attended Uncle Eran & Aunt Jen's Wedding here in Emmett.
 Kyzer was so excited to be a part of it.

 This little man decided to go as his Uncle Devan for Halloween

We have two new nieces, both born in November, and they are ever so Adorable and sweet! We have two more on the way and a nephew also, and we are so excited to meet them!
Christmas was great ( besides the part where Kyzer was puking)!
New years, and all those other family get togethers were of course also great!
We got moved into our own house place in July, and we are loving it. It's tiny, and cramped, but we are happy and always find room to squeeze family in when they visit. we have lots of fruit trees and lots of room to put in a good sized garden this year and we are super excited about that. Our little Mr. Korben will be turning 2 ( I know, crazy right?)  in a few weeks and we are working on planning something fun for him to do. We are enjoying our time here so very much and are so happy to finally be out of the " all the time cold" of Fairbanks Alaska.
We have seen and done so much in the past year that I would be here for two days strait writing it all out for you, but I am happy to have summed up some of the more major things that have happened.  I hope to keep this updated more often now that we have internet again.
So, until next time... TAA TAA for now!
