Year in review. . . . .


Wow! Another year has flown by so fast. I can remember this time last year. Saying that Christmas will be here before we know it. And now we are there again. The days do go by faster as you get older. I'm not exactly sure how we got everything done when the girls were little.


February was busy!  Roger took me to see George Strait. My dream. We ended up seeing him two weekends in a row as "Mr. Strait" was sick and had to cancel after a couple songs. Roger and the girls thought the concert was mediocre, but I thought it was awesome! 

 


We also had a birthday party for our special angel in heaven.





























May was a very busy month for our family. . . . . . .  :-)
Mishi bought her new Mustang!






Then graduated from Fort Hays State University!! AND accepted 
her BIG girl job with Security Benefit in Topeka Ks.




A week later Taylor graduated from high school. . . . . . . . . . . .




AND then Jessica decided to join the new car club and buy a Ford Edge. . . .










In June ~ Jessica, Michele, Courtney and I walked in "The Color Run". Go team Johnson Love!! What a amazing feeling to have finished that race!














And my Doctor, Dr. Doug, carried the torch in the Olympics!

and our Kaler family vacation. . . .




September. . . . .
Ummel West 2012




Jessica went to San Francisco. . .




And Michele went to New Jersey/New York. . . .






























November was a BIG month for Roger!! . . . .



And last but least. . . . . . December. . . . . . SURPRISE!!


 
































I am VERY thankful to have my family and friends!! This year has had a lot of tragedies throughout the world! I can't even imagine the families and their loss! It is terrible and makes us stop. . . . and smell our own roses. This year I have a couple new year resolutions. . . . 

~ To have Jessica and Michele's energy! To have their love of life!
~ To have my parents patience
~ And to have the love. The love that my husband has.

It is a Wonderful Life!

S.U.R.P.R.I.S.E!!







Last Saturday we had a "Surprise" party for Roger's 50th birthday. His birthday is really December 26, but how can you have a party the day after Christmas?? So to really mix it up, the party was on Jessica's 26th birthday. So. . . . . Roger thought Jessica, Gabe and Michele was coming home to celebrate Jessica's birthday. And Jessica thought she was coming home to celebrate Dad's birthday. We were able to pull it off with Roger, but Jessica seen her cake right before the party and figured it out. Darn! All in all, the party was a success!! These are the only pictures I got on my camera, but Taylor was also taking pictures. She is going to get me copies of hers when we see them for Christmas. I will post them later.
