here is our year together, well some of the highlights or pictures that made me smile as i looked back over all our pictures from 2009. i loved doing this last year, so i guess now it is becoming a new year's tradition.

our family discovered that we love baylor basketball and we went to several games!
olivia and lilli gave themselves a "mani & pedi" with markers! so pretty! :)
mark and i went to mexico for a little r & r with some of our most favorite friends. such a great trip!! (i want to be there right now!)
my parents hosted "dinner with rico" at the farm and it was a whole family affair to get it set up and ready for the 50 guests that came. this is rico the donkey. isn't he so cute??
my first attempt at trying to be "bakerella." it was a fun night and i am so glad ivy was there to help make these adorable chick pops.
mark and the kids at his "good-bye" lunch before he left for papua new guinea trip. what an incredible opportunity he had to get to travel to that part of the world.
olivia FINALLY rides the jet ski, and LIKES it!! :)
and at the end of the month we celebrated jack's 1st birthday in our backyard with family. so much fun to celebrate him and his first year as a part of our family.
mark and i got to celebrate turning 30 and our 8th anniversary in san francsico..

jack discovers his love for books (and making a mess in his room when no one is looking)!
jack and i finish our summer of mondays at little gym. i loved having time with just jack each week. we also got to spend time with mari and kenzie which was great too!!
