2010 is drawing to an end, so long old friend. 2011 is looking fresh and new, what a Heavenly view.
Wow! As I look back on the year, I remember all of the wonderful and not so wonderful experiences that we as a family have experienced. Adventure and fun as we explored Yellowstone, The Grand Tetons, San Francisco Oceanside cliffs, Donner, and Lake Tahoe, just to name a few. Moments full of fear and loads of tears as we watched our kiddos grow and make choices that we hoped they wouldn't have. Relaxing and laughter filled times; passing the time with several hours of Monopoly, Sorry Sliders, card games, funny movies, and just being funny. 2010 has brought exciting changes too! Jesse all 6'1" of him has completed his first year of High School and is well into his second. Toby all 5'1" of him has endured and just about conquered all of Junior High. Brittney in all her sweetness is ruling the 5th grade and loving drama club. Marcika in her sweet loving ways has brought light and love to those who need it. Jason has tackled challenges head on, has taken up Jui-Jitsu, tackled the snow covered slopes, and is just so amazing! Me, well lets just say that I have taken some time to reevaluate myself and have taken some steps to improve myself. Yep 2010 has been quiet a year, full of challenges and changes, memories made and some left to fade, love and laughter, tears and pain. I'm happy to say that here we are as a family ready to enter into a new year full of the unknown, knowing that with God nothing is impossible.
This past year I have been a tad better on getting in front of the camera, instead of always being behind it. Here are a couple of pics of me....2 kinda, well lets just say to me, not the way one would want themselves seen. But what the heck! I'm sure I have posted a few of the kiddos that they would rather have hidden in the bottom of a well.
