Top 10 of 2012

The Koons Top 10 of 2012!!

I did this last year and really enjoyed looking back at the year 

and reliving all the great things of the past year.

So here we go in particular order...

#1 Gracie turned TWO!! On her birthday we were also being hit with the biggest snow 

storm of the year.  So it made for interesting day I had tried three different party stores 

to get her some balloons and they were all closed. We still had a great day and

some family weathered the storm and joined the Minnie Mouse Party!!

#2 Hello I'm Pregnant!!! On March 21st we found out that it was going to be a really big year.

Baby #3 was now on the way.

#3 Year One Done!! We all survived D's first year of MBA school.  He did awesome! And we were so happy to have a summer break from school.  We enjoyed walks, parks, ice cream nights and family time.

#4 Helicopter ride.  We took a fun weekend getaway to Lake Chelan for Father's Day.  We went with both sets of Grandparents, my parents and D's parents.  My dad's friend who lives there has a helicopter and took us all on a ride, even T went.  It was a fun weekend!

#5 T turn's 4!! We had celebrated with T's friends and family. It was a Carnival party and he had fun day.

#6 A New York and DC Vacation.  D and I took an amazing 8 day vacation to NY.  We went to be there for my brother's wedding and ending up making it a long vacation without the kids.  

#7 We successfully made it through potty training.  As any parent knows this is a huge event for both child and adult.  And it was pretty "easy" with this child, when she decided SHE wanted to do it.

#8 6 years with my man!  It gets better each year. He is my best friend.  And as we expand our family I love how closer we get.  He is a great team mate and I love him more and more each day.

#9  T begin preschool. And thus it begins having a child in public school.  T was so excited. Mom was really emotional.  It is just three hours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  But I knew this was only beginning and it was pretty hard on me.  But so far it's be great for him.

#10  Clara Maye joins our clan!  November 20th was probably the best day of the year.  It started out as a normal day but ended with a 7 lbs baby girl in my arms.  It was an amazing delivery and the easiest recovery yet.  I am so in love with this girl. She has brought this family so much joy.
