reflecting

As they year closes Troy and I are reflecting on our memories of 2011. It is MUCH better than 2010 was I have to say. 2010 made us both stronger and pulled us together more as a family.




swim lessons



Eric graduating!



watching Max's life flash before my eyes as the caveman TV falls on him...I still tear up thinking about it. Got us a new flat screen in our room though! Sorry Max.



Troy's free car



getting a hang of this organization thing



all the trips to Santa Cruz







the perfect Christmas



Brandon's soccer season with Coach Troy



finally getting on my supplement bandwagon. Hey this was huge!



Max starts Kindergarten



meeting Lillian and her helping us change our lives literally



Damian starting A.C.E..the other thing that changed HIS life



a great new school year with awesome teachers

and me losing a bulk of my weight this year following the guidelines of my surgery the best I can. It still had it's struggles but a huge improvement from last year.

We don't need a pic of me right?


Some of the memories for 2012 I look forward to...




starting my 2012 Project Life album with " a week in the life" pages. Also finishing up my 2011 album




getting my money's worth out of this handy little printer



already in LOVE with this camera and hopefully using it to capture the picture of the day. Much easier to carry around.




starting and hopefully finishing my SMASH book




listening to the new VH record with Damian and screaming at the concert!



Troy going out on patrol. Still trying to grasp this one :)



me starting Crossfit hopefully. I have been wanting to try this and am so stoked about it.




Mila starting Kinder! Me being without babies at home. Me with freedom. Me and Troy with freedom! Me again without any children at home! I still can't wrap my head around this one. I have had children at home for 11 years.

Sigh...empty nest syndrome at Kindergarten. This is bad.


So here's to a healthier 2012 for me.

A safe 2012 for Troy.

Another happy, joyful, and content year for our family.

I second that one. Wow it has been a fun-filled crazy roller coaster ride to a wonderful journey. So many things you all embarked upon as family and adventured into new freedom and accomplishment on. What a great thing to do to reflect on the accomplishments! So here's to looking forward to 2012, in a way, lol. Not looking forward to the empty nest thing. What in the world will we do??? lol hang on the fence I suppose...
