2011...

i love looking back on the year and remembering all the fun we have had.  here are some of the most memorable moments of the year for me.

january...

my computer was stolen on valentines day, i don't have any pictures from this month! :(  my favorite memory was celebrating the new year with the herridges and the bowlin lakehouse.  we did have a scare when olivia fell and cut her lip very badly which required a trip to the er and some stitches, but it was still a great way to ring in the new year.

SNOW! and lots of it.  we had so much fun playing in the snow.  such a rare treat of us.

olivia lost her first tooth!!

went to fiesta texas with the herridges during our annual spring trip to san antonio.  fun!
