As is the tradition when things come to an end, it is time to sit back and reflect on the year. There were definitely many exciting things that happened in 2015, and for the most part, it was another good year for Team Lopez. :-)
We are all happy, thriving, and healthy, too. Can't beat that!

I did this meme in 2011, 2012, 2013, and last year, so of course I need to do it again. The rules are to post the first sentence (or sentences) of the first blog post for every month of 2015. I added my comments about the post after. Here we go...
January - Friday Five (1/2/15) "The boys have recently developed a strong interest in all things money. Because of that, this year the boys are going to actively start saving some of it." Oh boy did the boys have fun saving money. I'll admit to being really good about keeping up with it, too...until around September. lol. They all saved quite a bit, however, and are very conscious about spending money now which was my ultimate goal. They are conscious about it, at least, when it is their money they're spending. :)
February - I'll Take Care of You (2/1/15) "I haven't felt well this weekend, as it seems I caught another round of crud the boys brought home. Anyway, I spent a lot of my time on the couch. Today, Shawn was super sweet and attentive. He frequently came over to me to rub my head, and he gave me imaginary medicine several different times. 'I know your head hurts, mom. Don't worry. I'll take care of you.'" Shawn is definitely my sweetie. He is always very concerned with how others are feeling and is always willing to offer his sympathy when things are tough.
March - Sick-o-Rama (3/1/15) "I have nothing very entertaining to say today because 4/5 of us are feeling like this to some degree..." We spent a lot of that school year sick. First grade was really, really hard on us health wise. Thankfully, we are all sick a LOT less this school year. (I'm throwing salt and spitting over my shoulder as I type this. No use tempting fate with such blatant declarations of health. lol)
April - April Fooled! (4/1/15) "Trick #1: The mustaches were a big hit with the boys, so much so, they wanted to wear the 'staches all day. :) I had to reapply their mustaches about mid way through the day." This day was so much fun. The boys loved their tricks and still talk about the fun of April Fool's Day.
May - Friday Five (5/1/15) "Yeah! Grandma is back! I know some boys who are very excited. :)" We all are happy when she is near. Shawn loves calling grandma every day, and Jay is always up for going to visit grandma at her house!
June - My Best Friend, a Composition (6/1/15) "My Best Friend, If my best friend Emily would spend the summer with me we would do lots of things. First, we would go to the store. Second, we'd go to recess. Lastly, we would go to the park. I love Emily. By Shawn" I don't think Emily is around this year, but I love this sweet little letter he wrote.
July - Mostly Wordless Wednesday - Yuck! (7/1/15) "He kept saying it, but he never stopped eating it. Lol." Jack LOVES lemons. He would eat them all the time if I'd let him!
August - Cute Big Boy Saturday - They Love the Water! (8/1/15) "The pool is a favorite for all of them!" We spent a lot of time in our 12 foot above ground pool this summer. We've got some little fishes on our hands! (As long as we don't try to drown them by getting the water on their faces. Ahem.)
September - Self Portraits (9/1/15) "We went to the boys' Back to School Night this evening and found these beauties hanging on the wall..." I was so excited to see the boys' drawings and acrostic poems on the wall of their classroom! So, so cute!
October - Conversations With 7 Year Olds (10/1/15) "'If I ever open a restaurant, I'm going to put this meal on the menu. Chicken, blueberries, tortilla chips and cheese are the best meal ever.'" Jason has ever evolving tastes. I'm not sure this would be on the menu any more. :)
November - Vampire! (11/1/15) "We picked our carrots from the garden this evening. Jack took a liking to them, and before we knew it, he had eaten pretty much all that we picked! Lol" Jack is such a cutie even when he's supposed to be scary.
December - Elfie Is Back! (12/1/15) - "It's that time of year again! Elfie, our Elf on the Shelf, is back to hide around the house. He's ready to take notes on how the boys are behaving and report back to Santa on their "naughty" or "nice" status. " This elf sure kept mommy and daddy on our toes this year!
2015 was a good year for Team Lopez. (All except for the sickness, at least.)
We look forward to seeing what 2016 has in store for us--hopefully
it will be filled with much laughter, love, and fun!
We hope you and yours have a wonderful 2016!
