Year 27 in pictures...

27 has been a fun and exciting year!  I can't wait to see what 28 has in store, but here are some of things we did in my 27th year...

 My birthday last year

Cal and Lemm Sir built a tree house

Met Frank and band for lunch while they were on their tour.

Carrie moved into her new house and made it a home!

Learned that people can take your belongings, but can't take the memories that went with them.

Cal started the 2nd grade.

We completed another year of soccer.

After a particularly hard week at school, Cal and I went to Junction and learned that time away is just what you need some days.  Missed a day of school, shed a few tears, and came home all the better.

Did some bird watching in West Texas.

Went on a trail ride in Livingston, where Cal convinced the trail guide to make the horses run.  He was on cloud 9 and I screamed like a girl!

Won 2nd place at the Fall Festival Bake Off!

Adopted Madison into the "crew"

This tiny baby turned 8 years old!!

We spent Thanksgiving at Millwood State Park and made some great new friends!

Finally got to go to Historic Washington State Park!!  AMAZING!

Hiked lots of miles with my mom during Christmas on the mountain.

Carved my first ham!

Learned that Cal and I are so much alike that sometimes it's best to just walk away.

Got a chainsaw and got it stuck on the first day!

Completed Basketball season at Upwards.  Probably won't be doing that again!  :)

Became even better friends with my sister.

Adopted Lisa in the "crew"

Learned how to make a homemade King Cake and turned one into a birthday cake!

Brought home a piece of family history - Granny's piano

Saw REBA!!!!!

Lake Catherine State Park with Cal.

Went on my first plane trip without family and first in the last 10+ years...and survived!

Hatched Butterflies!

Went to the beach and loved it!

I had big plans for my 27th year!  Some things I completed, some I did not.  In all things God was good and walked with us each step of the way.  My cup runneth over, and after looking at all the great things we did this year my cup is pouring over!
