2011: The Year in Review

Our family had a lot of changes in 2011. We said good-bye to our temporary housing situation, bought and moved into our current home, dealt with crazy 'Money Pit' issues, grieved the loss our dog of 13 years, and welcomed a new puppy into our home. We also celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and other holidays. We were very, very blessed in 2011. I'm thankful for my family's love, health, and safety.

Greta: Up close and personal!

Fun in the snow...

Andrew's missing teeth...

Big box fun. Who needs all those expensive toys?

Andrew's 2011 Spring Program.

Playing with sticks in the front yard. Papa and Nina make the best teammates!

Happy Easter!

Helping my dad build a shed off their garage.

Chris and my dad coached both boys on the same team in 2011. It's a very low key league, not anything like we were in before. The boys seemed to enjoy themselves.

For our anniversary, Chris took the family to see an indoor football game. Romantic, right?

Happy Birthday Andrew! I can't believe you're seven years old!

Happy Birthday Jonathan! I can't believe you're nine years old!

The first day of school! The reason they are carrying Wal-Mart bags into the building is because their book bags were already taken to school. In case you were wondering!

Chris performed a wedding ceremony in September for a friend in Marysville. His wife is beautiful and they are extremely happy. So excited that they included us on their special day!

I snapped this shot to remember how much the boys love each other. They CHOOSE to sit together on a seat meant for one person. Love them!

Jonathan's braces came off this fall. He was so excited to be able to chew gum again. He's only lost his retainer once as of this posting...

Happy Thanksgiving! This is Jonathan's creation.

Decking the Halls!

We said goodbye to a loyal companion on December 2, 2011. It was one of the hardest things we've ever done. She was a good dog and she will be missed terribly.

Crazy kiddos!

Meet Noodles. He was born October 1, 2011. Such a cute addition to our family. Chris and I have been talking about adding a black pug to our family since before we had children. We came up with the name back then too.
