Each year, I do my year in review! This is different from my #shayeveryday2013 Review because that was just reviewing my Instagram Pics from 2013 and this is reviewing the whole blog :). To see previous years, click on the year below…
January
Smith William turned 3 on January 18! We celebrated with Smith’s Surf Shop!
February
After 7 great years, we sold our home and moved into our rent house for the year. February was CRAZY! Packing, moving, storing stuff and beginning to build our new house…all at the same time!
March
On March 13, we celebrated our 9 year anniversary! XOXO
We also flew out to LA to see Uncle Seanie on Dancing With The Stars!
April
In April, we celebrated Andrew’s birthday on the 2nd and spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying the beginning of Spring!
May
I took Kensington to Boston for her first time in May! We had the very best time!!
June
We spent every single day at the pool! Between gymnastics, dance, tennis and swimming, we were active all month long!
July
Andrew and I spent 2 weeks in Spain, Italy, France and Monaco during July. Perfection!
I also revealed my 100th Bundt Cake!
August
In August, we revealed that the Shull 4 were turning into the Shull 5 with the addition of sweet Ashby :).
September
On the 15th, Kensington turned five!!
And Andrew and I went to NYC at the end of the month to see my boyfriend Michael Buble in concert!
October
We did as many fall activities as we could in October including Oktoberfest…
… and the Pumpkin Patch!
Plus…we had rats. Sigh. That part of the year stunk!
November
We took the kids to Kansas State for the first time!
December
We had such a wonderful month celebrating Christmas together! We did something festive and fun (even if it was a simple as just watching a movie together) every night.
I’m thankful for this year! God has truly blessed me in ways I never thought possible. I am most thankful for Him and his gift of salvation to me. Praying 2014 will include a lot of pictures of the Shull FIVE!
And for this month, Pinspired will be on Friday!

You were right last year at this time: 2013 was an amazing year for you! I imagine 2014 will be even better when Ashby comes home. Thanks for sharing your life with us and for always inspiring me. XOXO

Happy New Year! I am happy that I found your blog in 2013 and was able to follow along with your sweet family! This is random, but I also wanted to tell you that I watched a documentary called "Stuck" a couple of months ago. It's about international adoption and it made me think of you. I hope 2014 is a great year for you guys!
Brooke Haas says
I randomly came across your blog a few weeks ago when I recognized your face and your daughter from the bachelor! (Sean is my fave!) I'm so glad I found it though. It's quickly become one of my favorites! I have a 3 year old daughter and 19 month old son that remind me soooo much of your kids! Looks like you had a great year, can't wait to follow along once Ashby comes home!

It's been so fun to follow along with the adorable Shulls, and to get to know you better! Hopefully we cross the virtual friend line this year! xoxoxo

Shay, Just wanted to thank you so much for your blog. I started following you while Sean was the Bachelor and I can't thank you enough for the countless recipes I've used and the great ideas you pass along. Although my pocketbook is a little lighter thanks to the things I've bought, you make shopping a whole lot easier for me.
I work long hours and have little time for myself. I consider you and your blog one of my blessings for 2013.
Best wishes to you and your family in 2014. I have a feeling it will be a special year for you all.
