So let me see if I can do a recap seeing as the year is nearly over...
January... Nope, can't remember.
February ... Nope... Nothing coming to mind...but I found some pictures from a park day in February!
March... Derek got a job! ..... Nope! They let him go, apparently he asked too many questions... Stupid people... He was new, of course he was going to ask questions. Gunner is getting so big! Little personality is definitely showing through! He is a great "cheese"er! Love this little dude so much!!
April .... Derek and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. We still haven't had a chance to really do anything or celebrate like I had wanted but the fact that we made it to 10 years is celebration enough! Gunner has his first sit down with the Easter Bunny! He does not know what to think! McKenna didn't know what to think either! These kiddos arer so stinking cute! He enjoyed doing the Easter egg hunts and didn't realize there was candy in them which was a bonus for me! I didn't want him getting that much candy! Here are some pictures!
May ..... Derek gets a contract job! Contracts typically have an end but we will focus on the the fact that he has a job!
June/July ... School graduation! 
Mom came out at the end of June and first of July! We went hiking, went to the Stadium of Fire. Carrie Underwood performed - it was fabulous! Didn't care for the crowds but it was very fun! Mom helped me work on my yard and put shutters on my house! Crazy how such a little thing like shutters makes such a big difference. Gunner loved spending time with "Nanny"! He learned a new word, "mine" which he uses quite regularly. He played 1, 2, 3 Go with granny running from one end of the house to the other! 
Shalyn and Jaren came to visit and Gunner had fun playing with Jaren and McKenna! We also went to the park and Gunner played at the splash pad!
My friend bought us season passes to Seven Peaks and we went a couple of times but Gunner was not a fan. He does not like wearing his life jacket but I don't feel comfortable with him not wearing it so... I guess we will try this summer... He will be older and who knows! Maybe he will love it!
August .... Dad and Darie came out for Brace and Jordan's graduation! We had a great party at which they announced they are expecting in February! So excited for them! Tracie and Nate also made an announcement of their own! They too are expecting and due around the same time!! I am so excited that our family is growing! Gunner loved spending time with Grandude and Grandma Darie!
September ... Back to work... Gunner had a doozie of a time going to new baby sitters until the school daycare was open. We finally found a great young lady to watch him! He loved Abby! Here is a picture of Gunner's "first day of school" 
Baby Mattie was born! My cousins Landon and Kristi welcomed daughter number 2!
October... Brina and Melissa got married and I got to sign the marriage certificate!
Gunner and I went to Thanksgiving Pointe with the Garrard family! Gunner had lots of fun! 
They had several small wood playgyms with slides and Gunner was in heaven! He loves sliding! He even went down a really long/tall slide with Uncle Nate! He did look a little scared but it was REALLY tall!
Gunner was Elmo for halloween and won the costume contest at our church trunk-or-treat! He makes one dang cute Elmo!! (Oh yes, he knows he's cute!!)
November.... Well current day... Gunner is talking more and more, mocking, and even telling me to "shhhh"! We bought a potty for him a couple of months ago and he is finally getting interested in what to do with it and has been sitting on it... Not doing anything yet but my plan is to work on that this summer! I can't believe how fast they grow up! It's both sad and exciting!! I absolutely love being a mom. He is the part of me that I always wanted to be.
I am sure I missed something so if you're reading this and feel I left something out please feel free to comment below!!
