I actually made it through an entire year of photos! I only missed 5 days, which means I photographed (98.6%) of the days in 2015. I'm proud of the accomplishment, and while I'm ready for a new challenge and won't keep up the daily photography, this project has definitely taught me the importance of capturing the small and simple moments of life. I have LOVED looking back through the photos I've taken and reliving the memories of the year. We had some good times!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, here are the final photos of 2015...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our newest Christmas ornament. We bought it in Hanover, NH on our trip this fall. It depicts the sugar maples with their sap buckets. We try to collect ornaments on all our travels so that as we decorate the tree each year we can remember all the fun adventures we've gone on together.</div>

December 12: Ski Date</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once or twice a year, Graham gets ski passes through his company. We had a great afternoon up at Alta. I'm still such a beginner, but I managed to stay upright most of the day, and I eve tried a few blue runs. :)</div>

November 25: I'm Thankful for...First Times<br />
Wednesday was a day of firsts for Will: a visit with Santa, petting a reindeer, and his first trip to the movie theater. There is something magic about watching him experience things for the first time.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents asked me to take a couple of pictures of them for their Christmas cards. This one especially makes me happy. At first, they just look like they're smiling, but if you look close, you can see the mischief in my dad's eyes (he was tickling my mom), and my mom's laughing eyes/exasperation at my dad's tricks. They are my constant example of the kind of marriage I want to have.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
November 1: I'm thankful for...Quiet Moments</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
November 8: I'm Thankful for...Reminders</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been looking through old photos during the past week for some projects I'm working on. I found this one where my sister and I are probably not too different in ages from what my boys are now. It's made me think a little more about what I cared about when I was their age, and how it's okay to just let them enjoy being little boys. Don't grow up too fast, little buddies.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I put the finishing touches on Will's costume just an hour before we left to go trick-or-treating at Graham's office. Whew!</div>

October 31: Happy Halloween!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All day, Will kept asking me how many minutes until trick-or-treating. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At 7:00 in the morning, kid? Quite a few. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was so excited (and I was so relieved) when it was finally time to go out in his costume!</div>

But, as a compromise, I promise not to post all 547 pictures I took either. How about half? Okay, maybe just 5-10%.<br />
<br />
It was an amazing trip. The boys were awesome travelers, and I loved seeing new places that I'd been imagining for decades. To borrow a phrase from a local of Bailey Island that we met, New England is "neon quaint". Everywhere I looked, picturesque scenes glowed brightly, making me imagine an alternate reality of my childhood in such a charming place. It was wonderful!<br />
<br />
So, here are a few neon quaint photos for your enjoyment...<br />

September 26: Boston<br />
<br />
The Declaration of Independence was first read to the citizens of Boston from this balcony on the east side of the Old State House. There is something amazing about being in a city with so much historical significance. Although it's obviously much different than it was 200+ years ago, as I walked the streets, I could feel the voices of the past and feel the respect for tradition that exists there. </div>

You know Walden Pond? Thoreau's Walden pond? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was SO not what I expected. I pictured a moderate sized pond with grassy shores and lots of greenery. In reality, it's a lake. It actually reminded me of Hume Lake, a place in the Sierra Nevadas that I loved as a child. Needless to say, it is not just a little pond. But, the boys LOVED it.</div>

October 1: Joseph Smith's Birth Place</div>

I think I burned out a bit on photography after the first few days of the trip, because I hardly took any photos on the 30th and the 1st. Still, after a busy day, I was glad that we had a kind sister missionary snap this shot of our little family. It might be the only one we have with all of us on the trip.</div>

September 9: Scraped Knees</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These days, it seems like both my boys always have scraped knees. It doesn't seem to be slowing them down though, nor does it stop them from attempting death-defying stunts.</div>

September 12: Go Cougars!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took the boys down to a tailgate party at BYU before the football game last Saturday. It was crazy crowded, even 2 hours before the game, but we all enjoyed eating some good food and playing games.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Graham stayed for the game while I took the boys home to sleep and spent the evening sewing. Everyone was happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And once, BYU won, they had to storm the field. Second miracle game in a row! </div>

August 21: Splish Splash Pad</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We discovered such a cool splash pad last week that's right by the Sandy amphitheater. Both boys loved exploring it. I'm so excited to go there many more times.</div>

August 22: Feeling Close to Home</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The California fires in the Sierra Nevada mountains are close to my heart. Each morning that we woke up to smoky sunrises last week made me pray for the firefighters and for the mountains that hold so many dear childhood memories.</div>

August 23: Big Eater</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Logan started being a really picky, capricious eater last week. After some frustrating mealtimes, we finally figured out the problem...he wants to use a fork and spoon. Things he refuses to eat with his hands (or be fed), he will happily scoop and spear on his own. Let the battle for independence commence!</div>

I love $2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point in August. Last week, we went to the garden with my sister. Fun sister catch-up time, kid play time, and photographer eye-candy time.</div>

August 12: Dinosaurs Make Everything More Fun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've entered the dinosaur phase...and I'm actually loving it. I think it's fascinating to learn about them, and we've used these little dinosaur toys for all sorts of learning games: math, patterns, sorting, and some good old-fashioned roaring. :)</div>

August 13: Temple Peace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't get to the temple as often as I'd like these days, but I carved out some time early Thursday morning. It was so calm and quiet that early in the morning as I walked up to the door; it almost matched the perfect peace inside.</div>

August 14: Zoned Out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it's really nice after a busy morning at the park, zoo, museum, or library to come home and give everybody a little downtime watching PBS Kids. Each boy has "his" spot on the couch, and they love to snuggle in and zone out for a bit.</div>

August 15: Pure Pie Bliss </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake pie. My own creation. Too bad I never got to taste it because I took it to our stake fair and it was eaten before I got a slice. I guess I'll just have to make it again.</div>

Our little explorer managed to climb into the dryer all by himself on Sunday. Yes it terrified me to find him there...and, yes, I'm now making sure that both the dryer door and the laundry room door are kept closed.</div>

August 18: Pony Ride</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week for $2 Tuesday we planned to go to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point, and we did, but we got through it faster than expected, so I decided to really make it an outing and visit Farm Country, too (It was only $2 dollars after all). Will was so excited to ride a pony, even though he had to wait in a ridiculously long line to do it. He was so patient, and I was proud of him for his good attitude.</div>

Will finally earned the water party he's been working toward for a long time (potty-training related). I had actually wanted to do one anyway this summer, but it worked out well to make it an incentive for him. My boys were both exhausted after 3 hours in the sun, but we had a good time.</div>

July 26: The Demise of the Waffle Iron<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Logan grabbed the cord of the waffle iron last weekend and pulled it off the island. It didn't survive. After being really frustrated, I decided to just be grateful that it dented my floor and not my baby. The really sad news. I can't find a waffle iron like this one anywhere to replace it. Anyone have a waffle iron to recommend?<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5Id0gC47gI8/Vbj9BkDPh1I/AAAAAAAAIXI/C_YoRYr_fVk/s1600/027%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5Id0gC47gI8/Vbj9BkDPh1I/AAAAAAAAIXI/C_YoRYr_fVk/s640/027%2Bcopy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Graham was rear-ended during his commute to work on Monday...and the guy fled the scene. Not the ideal way to start the week. But, I am so grateful. Graham is fine. We have insurance. The police caught the guy who hit Graham, and he has insurance that will cover repairs. The kids weren't in the car. So many things to be thankful for. </div>

<i>I</i> was the one singing this song on Wednesday night. Graham was out of town for a few days at a conference for work, so the boys and I were on our own. Whenever that happens, which thankfully isn't often, I'm reminded why I would be a terrible single parent. Hats off to any of you who have ever had to parent on your own, and a million thanks to the husband who keeps me mostly sane.</div>

July 3: I Love the Mountains!<br />
<br />
We had such a great camping trip. It was short, but that's the way I wanted it for a first try with the boys. They went to bed late, but they slept great, and loved being in the mountains surrounded by dirt. We went hiking at Cascade Springs the next morning before heading home with two super exhausted boys.<br />

July 4: Stars and Stripes...and Parade Candy<br />
<br />
The Centerville parade is becoming something of a tradition for our family. It's such a great small-town celebration full of music, veterans, and lots of candy. Plus, they have a party at Founders Park after the parade with more fun (especially the bounce house). </div>

July 5: Going to Work<br />
<br />
Will wanted to "go to work" like Daddy, so he got an extra laptop bag we have and filled it with a water bottle, toy laptop, wallet, and toy cell phone. He then proceeded to set up his desk in the garage. Love this boy and his creativity.</div>

July 8: Scout Camp<br />
I went to Cub Country this week for the first time with my Webelos, and we had a great time, despite the rain that cancelled boating.<br />

July 9: Mud Pool<br />
<br />
I knew I should have wondered sooner what was taking so long for him to go downstairs and get the cup he dropped off the deck. Apparently, inspiration struck and he decided to turn his sandbox into a pool.</div>

You know those random traveling carnivals that pop up occasionally in the parking lots of shopping centers? The ones that are ridiculously over-priced but you always wanted to go to as a kid? Yep, that's what this was...complete with a prize water gun that broke after 5 minutes of use. But Will loved it, and it gave us something fun to do on a Friday night.</div>

We're going camping tomorrow, a last-minute decision that necessitated the purchase of a tent big enough to fit our whole family. At 14' x 10' x almost 7' tall, this one should last us for many years to come.</div>
