Looking back on 2014


Looking back on 2014, I figured that the last post for the year should be in true Bartnick style. I decided  to do it like we Bartnicks do...in pictures.
This is very picture heavy just an FYI. Grab a warm mug of whatever you enjoy, scroll thru all of them at your leisure, and I hope that at least one of these pictures puts a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. 

We spent time with loved one we hold dear

...and Besties that brought us cheer.

We watched sunrises on the road...

and got to go somewhere COLD! ( Lake Superior)
I got to hike with the hubbs...

and freeze my tush off up above!

Smiles were had all around...

and at the end of the day a perfect sunset was found!


Snow angles are always a must...

and snowshoeing till I could bust!

Playing outside is always fun...

and doctors visits had to come.

#TBT's with pictures of when I was young...


and finding OLD Technology was so much FUN!

Daddy and daughters first dance...

and we got new cats that like to hide by plants.

Picnics were fun on the living room floor...

Hanging out with awesome neighbors we loved all the more!

We colored...

We goofed...

We stamped in the mud!

We spouted poetry in the tub!

We drew on the concrete...

We baked just a bit...

We even checked out farms...

and wanted to stay a bit.

and colored and painted until we were merry!

We hung out with our loving family...

and judged just a bit.

and spent time on Jimmy's boat.


We went exploring and found new places...

and canned till we had no more spaces!
We spent time with cousins

and went riding!

We played dress up...

and went flying.

We took pictures...

and grew lettuce in the garden.

We looked up at the sky in great wonder!

We hung out with Jeannette before the house was sold...

and played soccer in the cold.

We took beautiful pictures...

and graduated Kindergarten.
