2010

I can't believe that this year is over.   Here is a little 'Year in Review' with pictures, of course!  

January

We started out the year trying to figure out Emma's Celiac Disease.  Now, a little over a year from her diagnosis I can honestly say it's so much easier that I thought it would be.  We've adapted and it's 'normal' for us now.

February

Emma officially started walking!  Yay!  

March

Dave and Abby got to go on a helicopter ride with our friend, Donnie.  The kiddos got a new cousein, Maddy, from India.

April

Our little guy joined us after shaking things up by putting his Mom on bed rest for 2 weeks!  Thanks to our amazing and family and friends we survived the bed rest and finally got to meet Josiah on April 26th.  It's also my aunt Wylene's birthday.  She was my Dad's littlest sister.  She passed away at age14, so I never met her, but I think it's cool that Josiah was born on her birthday.

May

Abby turned 4!  

 June

Emma got her tonsils and adenoids removed.  She can now breathe when she sleeps.  Praise the Lord for that and for the great doctors he has given us. 

 

Dave and I celebrated 7 years!

July

Dave  went to Atlanta again to work for 2 1/2 weeks.  My mom came to help then we went to Phx  for part of it.  The kids did so well.  We are very thankful for Skype.

August

We went up to Zion National Park for a night.  The kiddos loved playing in the garden by our cabin.

September

My two guys!

 

We raised over $1100 for the Buddy Walk. 

We went on a road trip to beautiful Northern Nevada.

October

Emma turned 3

November

A big month for Emma...she started school.

December

Maddy's adoption was finalized!  This little cutie is official.

 A glimpse of our year!  Looking forward to 2011.

Christmastime

Sorry for being MIA for the past few weeks.  You all know how busy December is.  Here is a quick recap of our month!

Abby and Dave always spend time cuddling in his chair.  I took this precious pic of them.

We took the kids to the District to take pictures in their Christmas clothes.  It was a little difficult to get them to cooperate.

 This is her "I want to play, but Mom is making me sit here and take pictures" face.

 Christmas Eve at church

 Even in a dress she is still wants to run like crazy.

 Josiah got his first taste of puffs.  He totally gagged on them, which is no surprise.  So far he's gagged on peaches, carrots, and yogurt.  

 Reading about the birth of Jesus.

 Birthday cake for Jesus

 The kids had a fun opening their gifts.

Phantom...Finally!!!!

This post is a little late.  I worked on it the other night and fell asleep, surprise, surprise!  Anyway, better late than never, right?

Dave has been working for Phantom of the Opera since February.  He was going to get me tickets to see it before Josiah was born, but then I went on bed rest so I couldn't go :(  My Grandma and Norm were coming to visit and they were able to talk my mom into coming to.  Grandma and Norm were going to see Phantom.  Dave got me a babysitter. (Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Huwe) and got tickets for my mom and I also. I was quite excited to go to the show...finally.  Dave tells me stories about things going on at work so it was nice to see all that he's been talking about.  He's on the stage for a few seconds here and there and I was one proud wife when I saw him up there!  Afterward, he took us on a tour of the stage and behind the scenes.  It is so amazing all the things that go on to make a show happen.  I'm am so thankful to have gone.  It was fun, so thanks Dave and Grandma (who graciously paid for my ticket, although she says "The Casino paid for it!")
