2013 was exciting, for the sake of this blog… the last 2 years were great ;). Among the excitement is we’re expecting a 3^rd brock in July 2014, woot!

 

 

Ryan started pre-school this last year, he jumped right in and has worked past quite a bit of his initial shyness. Hayden has also continued pre-school with the goal of Kindergarten fall 2014. Both boys have become so close over the last year, they are truly best friends.

Both boys played soccer this year, Hayden’s returning and Ryan had his first season. Ryan was motivated to play by how much fun Hayden was having…

Many adventures this year, Rachel is always taking the boys out to try something exciting, like meeting the firemen, going to parks, and going on hikes.

Great vacation to Orcha’s island with my family, great trip! A lot of hiking, some kayaking, sea scavenging, and great company! Thank you mom and dad for sponsoring such a wonderful endeavor! If all goes well we will have our 2014 family vacation at Yellowstone Park, looking forward to that!

 

 

Rachel and grown her photography business and skills exponentially, the family photo below is proof J

Hayden continues to be an excellent example to his brother and we are continually impressed by his intellect and curiosity for how things work.

Ryan is a joker and a little lover, he is shy meeting new people, but once he comes out of his shell he's very talkative and playful! The LAM school where he's at now is helping him to realize how fun other kids are to play with :)

We had Cubby and Benny Ancel come visit late in the summer as well as the entire Ancel clan mid-summer, great to have them on the east side of the state for a change J
