A year has gone by...

I can't believe a year has gone by since my last blog...over a year to be exact. Life gets crazy with lots of kids! I am going to try and do a quick update of our last year or so...it will be in several posts just so I can throw some photos in there. Who wants to read a blog with no photos?! Not me! Here we go, lets start with January-May of 2012. I will warn, a lot of these photos are instagram and therefore won't be the best quality! In January, we started a new healthy way of living. Josh had some health issues and we decided to change our diets majorly. We started eating plant-based. It has worked wonderful for our family. While I have now settled on still incorporating some dairy and a little meat for me and the kids, Josh is still "plant strong"! The changes have helped him a lot...all of us, really! Here is a photo of us 30lbs different from eating healthy and exercising! They were taken about 9 months apart. Also in January, we took a trip to the Zoo with some friends! In February, Zeke turned 2! He also got his first hair cut and with turning 2 came a whole new crazy! In March, the girls donated their hair to Locks of Love! This was such an amazing moment! They had seen a lady that had no hair because she had cancer. They were very inquisitive about it and when we told them about places like Locks of Love where people could donate their hair and it would be made into a wig for someone who had cancer, they wanted to donate. They seriously are so sweet! Riley also turned 6 this month...I can't find photos of that :( Aydia turned 5 in April, I also cannot find photos of this either :( We have done a huge rehaul of our photos and put some of them on backup hard drives and they are on there. In May, Riley graduated from Kindergarten! She was awarded the congeniality award! Josh and I went to Atlanta to see Matt Ward play in a concert in May as well! It was fun...quick, but fun! I think that about wraps up the Spring!
