2010 A Year in Review
The year 2010 was full of surprises! We had good times and bad. The bad times turned into rewarding trials, kinda like blessings in disguise. The year started with a cold January - I can't find a picture one. Same with February (except the picture of Ellie above). However, I was very sick . . . very, very sick even through March. I told Ryan on Valentine's Day that baby #6 was on her way and everything else is just a fog. By April I was able to click a few pictures . . .
April 2010 - We celebrated Kaysen's birthday at Grandma Celia's house and Raegan's birthday in the park with his school friends. We also went camping at Warm Springs in Nevada.
May 2010 - Family Vacation to Heber Valley to see Thomas the Train.

June 2010 - As soon as school let out we enrolled Kay J in the Sylvan Learning Center in St. George. We traveled down every week and stayed for a few days each time. I tried to make it a fun adventure instead of a chore . . . so each week we tried something different. We went to several parks - most of them water parks. (It was so hot!!!) We went to the Fiesta Fun Center and "The River" which I don't have pictures of. I was glad when the ten weeks were over but our journey created memories that will last a lifetime! We spent valuable time with our extended family and we grew closer together.
June 2010 - Family Trip to Capital Reef - Beautiful!
June 2010 - We spent Father's Day at Maple Grove with my dad and family. We played cards, visited and enjoyed the "great outdoors"!!!
July 4th(5th) 2010 - Morgan was Miss. Annabella for the town program. She narrated, sang and looked beautiful. The boys decorated their bikes for the children's parade.
July 2010 - We continued our weekly trips to St. George through July. Here we are at the Washington Rec Center. We all had a blast. I sure enjoyed the company of Ryan's family as we played!
July 24th 2010 - Amanda got to come visit for a few days. We watched Morgan cheer in the parade and watched the fireworks in Monroe! Good Times!!
August 2010 - Finishing up Sylvan with a final splash in the pool and a visit to Jumping Jacks! We are so glad our cousins could be such a big part of the summer!!!
August 2010 - First day of school for Morgan and Kaysen. I love these pics!
September 2010 - Home school was in full swing! (Homeschooling was a difficult decision but after many attempts to get the school to accommodate a few small requests to keep Kay J from falling behind again, I didn't know what else to do. It just felt right.) The first picture is of Ellie at a field trip in Ephraim, second Raegan finishing swimming lessons by jumping off the diving board, and third a delicate science project preformed by the mad scientist, Kay J, ha ha ha haaa!
October 2010 - Brylee joined our family on 10-10-10. She was born at 5:30 in the evening, weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces and 21 inches long. It was a difficult delivery and later we found she had a broken clavicle as a result of the shoulder dystocia. She is very sweet, patient, and beautiful. I'm so glad she is a part of our family!
October 2010 - Morgan was cheering and was very disappointed that she couldn't be in this picture. Kaysen was "Scream", Kay J was The Reaper, Raegan was a Clone Tropper, Ellie was a fairy princess, and Brylee was a black cat . . . a very angry black cat!
November 2010 - Ellie turned two! We had a family party and played games such as Duck- Duck- Goose, Whose-Got-the-Button, and Hide-the-Thimble. She helped decorate her cake and the other kids added extra frosting and decorations to their piece.
November 2010 - We played in the leaves at Uncle Arlan's house! We were FREEZING!
