Looking Back

Before I begin this post I have to say- this was a bit of a challenge! I was looking around at some other blogs a few days ago and noticed that quite a few people had a re-cap of the past year. I figured 'that sounds like a good idea, how hard can it be?!'. It's not necessarily hard to remember what we did each month (thanks to our Google calendar!), but it was tough to find pictures to go with each month. So, bear with me, some pictures are a little dull but I think it's better to have something rather than nothing! I'm not really one for making big New Year's resolutions but I have decided to make more of an effort to take more (and better!) pictures of the things we do and the places we go- this post can be my inspiration to keep the camera around!

January...
We spent plenty of fun nights at Sarah and Taylor's and the girls, once and for all, beat the boys in 'Battle of the Sexes'... somehow this is the only blog 'worthy' picture of the night.

February...
We celebrated Jay's birthday and ate too much chicken at his and Laura's house for Superbowl Sunday.

March...
We spent a fabulous weekend in Denver with Beth, Farris, Nina and Jeremy.


April...
We paid taxes... and that's about it.


May...
Nina came to visit and we had a great time! Matt took me on a Sunday Funday hike to a hidden swimming hole and we celebrated Amanda's bday with 'sombrero cupcakes'.


June...
Kyle and Sharon got married in Grand Junction, we went to the Dominican Republic with some of our closest friends and, most importantly, we found out we were EXPECTING!!!


July...
We took a roadtrip to Portland for the 4th of July... still trying to keep our news a secret!

We started to get ready for Grayson and took Adult, Child and Infant CPR and First Aid classes at the Red Cross.

Matt, Jeremy, Amanda and Torun spent Matt's birthday at Festival 8 (Phish) in Indio, Ca. Janet and Jenifer came out for Thanksgiving and we took our Anniversary Road Trip!

We took our 'Preparing for Childbirth' classes through the hospital and ate our way through the Holiday season!
