Happy 2011!

Ok so I have failed at blogging for the most part of the 2010 year. I am hoping to be better at it this year and I am going to start with a recap of 2010.

January= Happy New Year 2010-who knew this year would bring so much to our family. Jared's trip to New Orleans.

February= My first photo shoot with my new Christmas camera. (Landon was napping so he got left out)
March= begin house construction move in with Grandma Susan,Grandpa Boompa, Heather, Colette, Cole, Hallie, and Eli. It was a FULL house! (I had pre construction pictures of our house, but I can not find them ANYWHERE-so frustrating)Our house on the move!
April= House still under construction, my 29th birthday, and Easter
May= House still under construction. Long needed vacation to Disneyland, Sea World, and our favorite- the beach.
Our storage room

June= We moved home, construction sill everywhere, and Calvin's first birthday!

Our new front porch.
Following are the effects of moving a house. I would say every wall in the house has at least 2-3 large cracks like these. Little did we know that we would have to re-do almost everything in the house:

Happy Birthday Calvi! We love you!

July= Landon's 3rd birthday, Landon and Calvin had a "Western Cowboy Party", and our annual trip to Pineview.

August= Family Photos (I did do 2 posts earlier for August-yay me!-check those) September= Our marriage turned 6 years! Landon's first day of pre-school; I am a proud mother! We went with Papa to see the trains. October= Wheeler Farm fun, Our trip to New York City, Our Halloween Party with the fam, and Remmington our new puppy!

November= One project after another! Beginning of siding project. Begin/finish living room project.

Calvin is Daddy's little helper.

December= Winter fun and the Boys' Christmas Pictures

Gardner Photography- family pictures

We finally had our family pictures taken! We went to Wheeler Farm and the boys had a ball. They loved climbing on the tractors and enjoyed seeing the animals.

We HEART our photographer. Her name is Heather from Gardner Photography. She was very cute and patient with the boys. She worked very hard to get the photos that I specifically wanted and then she was quite creative herself. I love the end result. We got TONS of pictures and 3 different styles in each photo. (I have only posted the colored ones) She does high contrast color, muted colors, black and white, and sepia. The turn around time was very quick. Did I mention, I love 'em?

Anyway, take a look yourself and notice what a HAM my little Landon is. (I posted a lot of his funny pictures)

A little update

We got a new cabinet in our kitchen and the boys were breaking it in for me!

Crazy little Lanny playing in the old cabinet.

Calvi finally weighs enough to be forward facing in the car. He got a new car seat. Yay Cal!

WaRd CaMpOuT!!

The kids loved throwing rocks in the river.

It was just an over nighter, but we had a lot of fun! Landon was so excited to sleep in a tent again.

August 5th

Nothin' like an ice cream cone and playin' with a cousin on a hot summer day!
