09. Trevor competed in his first triathlon in September in Ogden, UT
 
08. We celebrated 7 wonderful years of marriage in May!!!!
 
07. We hosted Flat Charlie and were on the Utah News with my sister and her gLockets. We fundraised and raised awareness about CHARGE syndrome.
 
06. Our kids became friends!!!
 
05. Laynie had a couple of surgeries. One in June and another in October. She completed her 13th surgery in 2012 and had an awesome year. She stayed fairly healthy all year which is a huge accomplishment and blessing!!!
 
04. Drake started preschool. He is doing great and loves going to school. Our little boy grew up so much over the past year!!!!
 
03. Laynie turned 2!!! She made huge leaps of improvements in 2012!
 
 
02. Drake turned 4!!! He is turning into such a sweet and funny little boy!!!
 
01. Our little girl learned to walk!!! It was a great end to 2012. She decided to walk right before Christmas. She has had to work so hard and overcome so much to reach this goal. We are so proud of her. We can't wait to see what she shows us next!!!



 
Overall, 2012 was an AWESOME year!!! 2011 was the hardest year of my life and I am so happy to say that 2012 was one of the best years of my life.... still hard, but soooooo much good came in 2012:)
I can't wait to see what 2013 brings our way. Our year is starting off with a scary yet exciting new adventure... Laynie is getting her cochlear implant the first of February. This will start our weekly trips to Salt Lake City for a few months. It should be interesting, but we are excited to give Laynie a chance to hear!!!
 
HAPPY 2013!!!!

Love this post and how you have really been out there raising awareness for CHARGE! I look at you and your family and think...How do they do it? And you still wear a smile! I know it may not be all the time but a great portion of the time you are smiling and enjoying that beautiful family! You are a great example to me..THANK YOU!
