Good morning!! We made it!! Welcome to the last year(s) in review blog post for 2021, 2022, and 2023!!

All decorated and ready for Christmas.
There were GRASSHOPPERS still ALIVE and hopping around in my yard in DECEMBER!!

These are the only pictures I have of Oreo and Bugs. These were the first barn cats we got, and it wasn't long before the neighbors made off with them.

The aftermath.
So, Covid messed up my blood pressure and my heart was having weird palpatations and we couldn't figure out why. So, my doctor had me wear this lovely heart monitor.
It doesn't matter if they say the adhesive is for sensitive skin, my skin doesn't like it at all.
And Jaina turned 20!!
DECEMBER 2023
Nathan went to a book signing to promote his book.
Nathan was also asked to play Santa for our ward's Christmas party. He makes an excellent Santa.
We went and saw the Celtic Woman Christmas concert. It was really good.

Well, we have made it to the end! I don't ever want to get this behind ever again. It was a bit overwhelming trying to do three years all at once. So, my New Year's resolution is to, A. Never get behind ever again, and B. TAKE MORE PICTURES OF THE FAMILY!!
So, that's a wrap and I will see you again in January 2025 when I will do the 2024 year in review. I'm off to go take some pictures or something, see you in a year!!
