2010

I don't really know what to say about you, 2010.  You're kind of the black sheep of years for our little family of 4.  Since James and I met in 2003, we've had one great, big, fun, life-changing event every year...

2003 - James and I met on our 1st (blind!) date.
2004 - James proposed!
2005- We got married!
2006 - We found out we were pregnant with Hunter...shocking at first, but oh, how he has brought us joy!
2007 - Hunter was born!
2008 - We were blessed with another pregnancy...our sweet Charlotte.
2009 - Charlotte was born!

Although we had no great, big, fun event in 2010, we've learned a lot this year.  2010 has had it's ups and downs...a lot of uncertainty and frustration, but also a lot of growth and acceptance and love.  Here are some of my favorite moments...

January:  Hunter got rid of his pacis...

...and hasn't looked back since.

February:  It snowed!!!

I think that's the most snow we've ever had in my 30 years here.

March:  Hunter turned 3...



April:  We took a much needed family get away to our friends' cabin...

May:  We dedicated Charlotte to the Lord...


June:  We saw lots of friends and family that we don't get to see nearly enough.  Some came here...

And we traveled to see some others...


July:  Charlotte turned 1!




August:  We had some family fun at Hawaiian Falls...

 ...and at the zoo...

September:  Hunter started preschool!!!

...we went to a Wilkinson family reunion.  Hunter still talks about that hotel fire alarm waking us up in the middle of the night...

...and we went bowling for the first time as a family of 4...


October:  October was such a fun month!  We went to the fair...

...and visited some pumpkin patches...

...and dressed up super cute for Halloween...


November:  We took a mini-vacation to Sea World...

December:  December was filled with lots of fun activities (as y'all have seen), but we only had 1 picture of all 4 of us from the entire month...

December was probably my favorite month this year.  We were really family-focused, and I loved it!

We're looking forward to a 2011 filled with lots of learning, growing, loving, family and friends!  Happy New Year everyone!

Such a cute idea! I might just copy it if I can get caught up enough on current posts to look back at the old ones!! You have such a great family and you were an inspiration to me in 2010!!!
