Happy New year

Hello! Sorry about the lack of posting- it just seems like there's always something else to do. And I've also lost my camera sync cord. Due to the second thing (that I shall not mention again), I haven't been able to get any of my photos apart from my Ipod ones... Which leave something to wish for, you could say.
But Happy New year! Any awesome resolutions? I want to journal more.
Even with out the sync cord, I do have some photo from the past year. Seems like a good time to look back at 2010. :)
January We started out January with my dad just getting a job in Seattle. That's when SJ and I got out Ipods (first week in January) There was Sj's birthday, and then my dad headed out. We continued on with Options and started looking up stuff about Seattle.

February We stopped going to Options, the movers came and we stayed in a hotel. My grandparents also came. Right after they went home to Mt, my grandfather passed away. We headed out the next day, saying our final goodbyes to out old house and life.    

March spent in a haze in MT. 

April April fools party put on by my grandmother, my cousins maddi and I.  Getting into a "norm" schooling, hanging with the cousins, checking out what Billings has to offer. 

May my grandmothers birthday, so maddi and I get into cake making. general schoolwork, hanging out etc.

June Maddi and I take level one cake corse at Micheals, as well as do a tall cakes class. Make a trip to the "museum" by Billings airport, hang out.  Then our house FINALLYsold (we put it on the market March 1st) and that same day we headed out to Seattle. First time in a plane, first time in Seattle. We were only there 4 or 5 days. My sister was sick most of the time too. But we found a house!

July The house is ours! about halfway into July my mom, sister and I made the fourteen hour drive to Seattle in one very long day. The movers came and we started doing a little unpacking. But we weren't there long before we had to head all the way back down to Denver for the family reunion in Estes. Got there a few days early so as to visit people. Had lots of fun in Estes! Then back to Billings to start packing my Grandmother;s house up. Also, my cousin Annalis's birthday (the dog cake!) and 4th of July (of course) The California cousins also showed up for a while to say goodbye to the house. Very fun seeing them!

August Packing packing packing! Worked in a trip to Thermopolis Wy.  We made sure to go through Greabull WY because my great great maybe one more great grandfather founded it. But we chose to stay in Thermopolis for the hot springs! Can't forget the fair. Very fun! I love fairs. Went and saw Cowboys and Aliens with my older 2 cousins and my sis- thought it was actually pretty good.. and of course fun.  Also more cake classes with my cousin (finishing off the 3rd and final session at Micheals!). Another fun thing was getting feather extensions with all the girl cousins.. there are 5 of us that were there! Finally, at the end of August we headed out... With quite a group! 10 people, 2 dogs, a truck a mini van and a moving van towing another mini van!

September Arrived in Seattle the first or second (I don't remember!). With everyone there we set about getting my grandmother completely unpacked and settled in. Spent a lot of time at Panda Express, since theres not one in Billings and my cousins love it. Can't say i minded! The rest of the month was spent starting to get into school, unpacking, and exploring. Also my dad's birthday!

October Started the 31 days of OCtober challenge, pent a lot of time down in the Snohomish valley, school, unpacking. Halloween party and getting excited for my birthday.

November Happy birthday to me! School, hanging, exploring, CA cousins stop in quickly, with just my uncle staying, Happy birthday Uncle Craig!, Low key Thanksgiving (we're used to seeing like 16 people instead of 6).

and finally December What a crazy month. At least it feels that way! School, getting Christmas stuff out, stull finding new things around town, Christmas shopping, making the house look more and more like a home, and then the big day Christmas! (NO pictures form Christmas day though!) My mom's birthday, went to this awesome place called Tablas and made chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. New years eve- lots of fun!- and new years. Happy day! :)

Wow- what a long year. :) and long post! I think that should be all for now. Here's to 2012 being better then 2011.. Although it had it's good moments!
