2009 Year in Review

2009 kicked 2008's butt big time and we had a great year! Here are a few of the biggest things I remember about 2009. There were so many it was difficult to narrow down:

January
We had a baby!

Riley Christopher

7 lbs 3 oz 20 in

born at 8:00am

March

My friend and neighbor had her baby boy. We have matching families and live around the corner from each other in matching houses. Girls 6 weeks apart and boys 8 weeks apart. This is the earliest picture I have of the boys.

April
We went on a last minute trip to Colorado with The Swinney's and saw the most beautiful snow I've ever seen. We made a poor decision to fit 4 adults 4 car seats and a dog in the Tahoe and drive all the way without stoppping except to breastfeed Mr. Riley who was less than 3 months old! But we had so much fun, Mckenzee still talks about it and we can't wait to go again....in two cars so that Connie and I don't have to find a happy place in our heads so that we don't go insane from claustrophobia. :)

July
Riley was dedicated at church in his cute little man suit

We saw Dora the Explorer Live!

August
Mckenzee turned 3! She had a fun dress up party with a few friends. She also started ballet (for real this time)

The Krodles had their baby boy

Kason Alan

October
Big month!

Chris and I celebrated 7 years of marriage

We attended my 10 year high school reunion.

Chris bought us a Z71 Suburban.

Two of my good friends welcomed beautiful baby girls.

December

Fun holiday month full of family, food, shopping and being together! Merry Christmas!

We have been very blessed this year with a new baby boy, a sweet big girl, family that loves us, great friends, Chris' job, a place to call home, warm beds to sleep in, healthy children.... Thank you Lord for taking care of us! 2010 here we come!
