We've had so many experiences this year, good and bay, challenging and easy! So lets go month by month for the pit and peaks for the Stephens family!

Peak: Fox went to the zoo for the first time, and loved it!
Pit: Mommy started back to school, which meant leaving Fox a lot during the week.

Peak: Our first trip to the temple as a family, and of course Valentine's day <3
Pit: I was taking ASL and really having to devote a lot of time away from Fox and Kyle in order to get all my lab hours in.
March 2012:
Peak: Kyle and I went to the San Antonio Rodeo, and got to see Jake Owens live! My sister got to come for a visit!!
Pit: Kyle couldn't take anytime off for spring break, so we ended up staying in San Marcos!

July 2012
Peak: July 4th was fun! FOX TURNS ONE, and got his first hair cut! We also found out that Ryker was a little boy!

December 2012
Peak: Christmas festivities, My grandmother's engagement, and I got accepted to the BYU-I online program. Mine and Kyle's 3 year wedding anniversary!
Pit: Being very very pregnant, and crazy weather (one day its super cold, the next its hottt)
Over all we had such a wonderful year. I look forward to the upcoming year and the new experience we'll have. Starting with the addition of our little boy Ryker, my mom and dad coming to visit, and my Grandmother's wedding. I have a feeling 2013 is going to be a wonderful year! I am so grateful to my Father in Heaven for the all blessings in my life. Everyday I wake up healthy, happy, and loved by my family and amazing friends. Life is so good.
Happy 2013 everyone!!!
