2013 in review!

Wow is it 2014, already?! I can't believe it! 2013 sure was a roller-coaster for us! Mostly highs though. So many wonderful blessings. Its crazy to look back at all we accomplished in 2013 and I hope we can accomplish just as much or more in 2014.
January- We got to hear baby Ty's heart beating for the first time!
               I brought home Jade. Our obnoxious but funny cat! She was so tiny!

February- We moved, again!
March- We found out we were having a BOY!

     Justin turned 22.

April- Justin got laid off due to SOH closing its doors.

May- We set a temple date and started preparing to go to the temple. 

          Justin received the Melchizedek priesthood. 

June- We became a forever family!

 July- We moved

          I was put on bed rest 3 days later!

          Justin started a new job working for A New Hope

          Spent the entire month on bed rest dilated to a 4! We anxiously waited for the arrival of our first baby and spend many nights in labor and delivery. Turns out I don't have painful contractions which is both a blessing and a curse! Could never tell if I was really in labor.

August- We finally got to meet our sweet baby boy! Born August 11. Weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. We named him Tytus Taylor Smith. He has the same middle name as his Daddy and great grandpa Byington. 

September- Spent lots of time with family and friends getting to know our cute bundle of joy!

                   Justin had an emergency appendectomy.

                  

October- Tytus was given a name and a blessing. 

November- Had our first Thanksgiving with our little Ty man!

                   Ty got to meet his cousin Serena.

December- Ty got to meet Santa for the first time.

Justin and I celebrated our second anniversary. 

                  Spent our first Christmas together! (The three of us)

And we wrapped it all up by spending the last two days sick with the flu, Ty teething for the first time and all of us being in bed by 9 on New years eve! Haha 

2013 was quite the year for us! Not sure any year can beat all the blessings we had this last year. To become a forever family just tops it all! I am SO grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and for all the many blessings I enjoy from being a part of it!

  Can't wait for all the things 2014 will bring! Hoping you all had a great year as well! Hoping 2014 is even better! Happy New Years!
