Looking back...2009

I have thought about doing a New Year's post...discussing all of our well intended New Year's resolutions...and anticipations of 2010. Instead I found myself thinking back over the last year and all of our crazy adventures!

Here is a look back over our 2009! I limited myself to only one picture a month - which any of you camera crazed individuals out there would understand how difficult this was! What a blessed year we had! We have so much to be thankful for!!

January

We LOVED the park at Maxwell AFB! One of the best things about Alabama (besides Southern hospitality) was being able to be out at the park in January!!

February

The boys always enjoyed swinging on the swing at the local park in Prattville!

March

After a rained out day at Magic Kingdom! We spend a week at Disney World...it was tiring and exciting...and not to forget stressful (especially the 5 minutes that Seth was lost at Sea World)!

April

Strawberry picking with our friends was a highlight...especially for our tummies! We sure miss you Griffin Family!! Can't wait to make more memories with you all!

May

After trying to take some 4 year old pictures of Seth...this ended up being my favorite!!

June

June found us reconnecting with cousins at a beautiful vacation home in Hood River, Oregon...it also found us saying a sad goodbye to Justin's Grandmother!

July

The boys and I spent 3 weeks with my family...while Justin started his new job and started unpacking boxes! At the time we didn't know that 2010 will probably find us repacking those boxes again!

August

Enjoying the view from the top of Pike's Peak!! Chilly...but BEAUTIFUL!!

September

Our old favorite park...we couldn't wait to get back here and explore again!!

Photobucket

October

Lots of "snow days" in October...which means busy boys not in school! After a mild year in Alabama...we forgot how cold winter can really be!

Photobucket

November

We bought season tickets to cheer on the Air Force Falcons this year! Zach especially loved it...Seth and Eli didn't really care for the whole deal...so they stayed home with babysitters.

Wow...it's amazing to see where we've gone, where we've come from, and how much the boys have grown! Before we know it, 2011 will be here and we won't know where time went! We look forward to a New Year with many new memories to make; and we thank God for this past year and it's many many blessings!!

Some great times for you and your family. Amazing how fast the time does fly by. It only enforces the need to live in the moment because you never know what's next. Have a great New Year filled with many fun memories. Big Uncle D

Enjoyed your look back at your year. Sometimes we don't realize how much we've done and enjoyed during the past year. Nice pictures. NV Grandma

Great Blog baby...it is fun to think back to where we have been...not always to think about where we have yet to go! :) I love you and look forward to the continued blessings that God gives us this year! Love you. -J P.S. I don't think Seth knew he was lost at Sea World...he was just having fun!! :)
