To a Happy New Year!

December 31, 2009

So I’ve been pondering what I want to improve on in 2010.  There’s a lot!  Too much to put down here for sure. :)     But I do want to say that I think it will be a good year.  I’m looking forward to all the things that I want to accomplish.

One thing that I will share here today is that I am going to do another “Year in Pictures” project.  I know I could start it any day of the year, but I’m kind of OCD about this stuff!  So I’m starting on Jan. 1st.  I will take pictures everyday and share one each day.  There might be extras on some days but that’s just icing on the cake!

And because no post is complete without a picture… here is a picture from one year ago.  We had a big snowstorm come through on the night of January 2nd.  The next morning I got up before sunrise and, while still in my pj’s, went trapesing through the snow taking pictures.  It was such a great morning, so quiet with the fresh snow.  I’m looking forward to many more days like that to share with all of you!

Gary is going to the MTC on Wednesday to serve a mission in Guatemala. His mom called me on Saturday saying they needed family pictures before they left! So I obliged :) It was pretty cold, but we toughed it out and got a lot of good pictures. I glanced through them and here are two that stand out!

The quality isn’t the best.  And ignore me talking!

Opening presents

December 25, 2009

For the record, Sean was up first.  Although Megan had me up all night long every couple of hours.

Jonathan is definitely trouble!  He also got an RC truck which he loves!

Sean was just silly all day… well everyday!

And since Megan slept through the whole “morning” of opening presents I didn’t get any shots of her, just this movie.

And here’s a slideshow of the rest of the morning.  Enjoy!

Shane’s Birthday

December 25, 2009

Before I get into Christmas day I need to tell you what we did for Shane’s birthday, which is Christmas Eve.  Really, we didn’t do much.  We drove to town for a few items.  Shane read a book.  We sang “Happy Birthday” and ate brownies.  It was a pretty relaxing day.  Here are a few pictures from his birthday party :)
