You Weren't All Bad 2016...

I haven't been blogging as much this year as I used to. All of the bloggers I used to follow have one by one stopped blogging. I feel like I use instagram instead of creating small little blog posts and as my kids get older the stories I tell are no longer about any young child, but truly about them and who they are becoming and they may not want that forever on the interwebs.

But regardless I like to do a recap picture post to remember the good stuff that happened this last year. 2016 started out great with a vacation to Arizona. We adventured, swam outside(!), hiked in Saguaro National Park and took in some Huskies hockey (and they won the tournament!).

February we traveled to Bemidji for Hockey yet again. And we got a picture with Paul and Babe!

March we wrapped a hockey season for both brothers with the boys first tournament a Mite Jamboree. It was so fun to watch them play together and even get a chance to play on our rink in the backyard! 

April Dave and I traveled to North Carolina in April for his cousins wedding. We decided to tack on a visit to Congaree National Park in South Carolina before flying home to our buys.

In May we went to a Preschool graduation. Eli mom was not okay with you leaving preschool!

We also started going canoeing in May on a nice warm evening!

June meant a cousin weekend with a lot of birthday celebration!

July we went to the cabin a couple times and spent the 4th of July canoeing with my mom's family in Wisconsin.

 The summer was cut short and the boys started school in the middle of August, but not before we took an awesome week long family trip- we started with a long weekend at the cabin and then spent a couple days in the Apostle Islands and then went to Michigan Tech for my 10 year anniversary. And our annual weekend trip to Shanty Days.

In September I went from one Cub Scout to two!

October we celebrated our 10 year anniversary with a family weekend trip to Mankato.

November- you know the month where it's starting to get dark and cold so I'm not sure we really did much! There was some really nice sunsets once all the leaves were gone though!

December we started hockey and got ready for hosting my entire family for a week. Here is the adorable picture we sent out for our Christmas card!

17 has always been my favorite number and I'm hopefully that 2017 will be a great year for the Schwedskala family.
