This year has been so much fun! In February our family went on a missions trip to Texas to help my mom's Aunt fix up her house. We stayed with friends on the way down there. Aunt Ann didn't have room in her house for us to stay so we stayed at a little house that a friend of someone that our friends knew had fixed it up for missions people to live in! So, every morning for 4 days we went to Aunt Ann's house to work. After we were done we had totally remodeled her bathroom, painted the whole hallway, got a new refrigerator for her, cleaned a moldy ceiling in one of the bedrooms and cleaned A LOT!!! For our last day in Texas we went to Galveston to swim in the ocean!!!!! We swam in the ocean for a long time, then we went to a restaurant called The Rainforest Cafe, then we went back and swam some more. So that whole day was so much fun! On the way back we went to some other friends houses and then we went to the St. Louis Arch. We all had so much fun those 2 weeks! Some more highlights of the year were Brady and Michael's 1st birthdays and Beckett being born! My sister Shannon and I also got baptized this year! A lot of our friends and family were there to watch us. So...that's what I've been up to this year!
