Life as We Know It: November 2014
http://koktjhiatt.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. We talked about it a lot but never really planned anything til about a week before. We decided to have dinner at our house because it has the "most" room. We divvied out the food responsibilities and prepared to party. The boys wanted to start the festivities off that morning with a bottle of sparkling apple cider. They could bathe in that stuff. Also made my most favorite (and easiest) cranberries from Tyler Florence's recipe. I made these yummy little apple tarts. They bare...

http://koktjhiatt.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Kyan Meril Hiatt chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 24, 2014. He was baptized and confirmed by his father, Kevin, in Williston, North Dakota. We are so very proud of his good decision and his great example to our family, especially his younger brothers! Found an easy-peasy baptism program template on.where else? It even had the lyrics to the two songs we would be singing. Score! See, I have a family of cheesers! While we w...

Life as We Know It: April 2014
http://koktjhiatt.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. For those of you who are wondering if I have fallen off the face of the earth, was murdered, or simply quit blogging, fear not; I'm still here! Life sort of carried me away for awhile. February to April was a bit of a whirlwind with Kevin's injury and subsequent hospital stay(s). More on that in a separate future post. :). Easter was a lot of fun this year! Can you tell he's excited? Of course, the most fun to be had is actually with the box, right? Checking out the stash! The the...

Life as We Know It: Two Years
http://koktjhiatt.blogspot.com/2015/06/two-years.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. Two years in Williston, North Dakota as of today. It feels like an eternity ,. Yet also like I just blinked. It's been another amazing year, and I've yet to regret our decision to move here. 8037 miles later, our new home in Williston, ND. June 28, 2013. We've explored, played, worked, bled, laughed, cried, said hello to new friends, goodbye to good friends, and made so many countless, precious memories. Our family expanded by one over the past year. We sure love our Blue! Why than...

Life as We Know It: Happy Birthday, Richard
http://koktjhiatt.blogspot.com/2014/12/happy-birthday-richard.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. Happy Birthday, Richard. Richard, you would have been 26 today. I cannot help but wonder: who you'd be today. The job you would have, where you would live, the things you'd be teaching your nieces and nephews. Someone Is Missing at Christmas. Let this be a loving reminder. That someone is missing today,. Someone our hearts still hold on to,. As we travel along life's way. Someone who made life so special,. For all those who gather here,. Someone who won't be forgotten,.

Life as We Know It: January 2014
http://koktjhiatt.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 15, 2014. Our North Dakota Christmas and New Year's 2013. The rest of December played out great. I was worried the boys would be sad since we weren't going to Utah to be with family for Christmas. Surprise! They weren't. Oh, they miss all their grandparents and cousins, and I do, too, but it was so wonderful to experience our first Christmas alone. Pickles playing cards with his buddies. That naughty elf replaced the boys' stocking with their (clean) underwear! My pride and joy! We mad...

Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Happy Birthday, Richard. You would have been 25 today. I still remember how amazing the Christmas of 1988 was. We got a new baby brother for Christmas- born at home, nonetheless! Now, a piece of Christmas always seems like it's missing. Every song I hear that I know you'd love, every funny thing Kyan says that I know you'd laugh over, every milestone my boys achieve, I always find myself wishing I could call you to tell you. When I come to the end of my journey. Aside from t...

Saturday, June 28, 2014. What A Difference A Year Makes. June 28, 2013. We've lived here one year today. Admittedly, Kevin has been here much longer, but we have been here together as a family for a year! At times, time dragged. At others, it flew. I can hardly grasp it's been a WHOLE YEAR. I remember pulling into Williston, North Dakota and feeling thrills of excitement and also apprehension. Could we make it here? Will we survive the winter? Would we be okay without our extended family? We won't live h...

Monday, December 29, 2014. Christmas 2014 or: The Party that Never Quit! Dark and early when 3;30 am rolled around and Tucker threw up. Multiple times. Sigh.why oh why is it ALWAYS when we are out of town? After a few hours, he said he felt much better, ,and my stomach started rolling. He even remembered Blue! And this was about the time my stomach finally revolted and I spent the rest of Christmas day throwing up. It was extremely unfair. It ends up being a very emotional, tender part of our Christmas.
