Year In Review

January

January brought an ice day= day off from school.

February

Mavs game, I don't think this is actually in
February. I think it was January but if it
was then I don't have any pictures from
February so this one will have to do.

March

March brought us beautiful weather and a camping trip.

April

In April we attempted our first garden.
It grew really well but I think we put too
many seeds in, eventually it got overgrown.
This year we will do it again with a few
less seeds, I loved eating veges out of my garden.

May

In May our sweet boy turned 8 and
was baptized, it was a wonderful day!

June

Roadtrip to TN to see our sweet niece
Kendyl baptized.

July

My toothless Cub Scout.

August

1st day of 3rd grade

September

Jacob and Addyson on Addyson's baptism day.
This was actually in October but she turned
8 at the end of Sept. so I thought I could count
it for October, right?

October

Our scary pumpkin.

November

The day after Thanksgiving we put
up Christmas decorations, love it!

December

We had a white Christmas. By the time it was
done snowing we had almost 4 inches of snow.
Don't mind Kevin's pink gloves, he was borrowing
mine. I should have just let you think that he
likes to wear pink gloves.

2009 Was a great year and I'm sure that
2010 will be even better.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Two days before Christmas...I am so excited. I am most excited to watch Jacob open his gifts and Kevin too. Jacob is excited to look for Grandpa. Some of you reading may not know about Grandpa Quinn's Christmas Eve tradition. It started years ago when he didn't want to get out of bed to open gifts and has progressed into him hiding in crazy places. The only rules are we have until 9 am to find him or he wins and he has to hide on his property. We only look for a few hours and then go home to bed and my sisters continue the search. Jacob loves it and can't wait again for this year. My sisters (18,19, and 20) still love looking as well. The kids win every year this year should be no different.

Yesterday we went to the Ft Worth Museum of Science and History. We had so much fun we spent almost 4 hours there. They have re-done everything, it is really neat.

I wish I could twinkle my nose and all of my laundry would be folded and put away. I don't mind washing it, I just severly dislike putting it all away.

I am so thankful for this time of year, I can't believe it has come so fast. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Breanna especially this time of year. Jan. 10th it will be 3 years since we lost her. When we go places as a family I think about what it would be like if she was there with us. I thought about her at the museum yesterday and how fun it would be if Jacob had his sister with him.

Is it too much to ask for a white Christmas. OK I know I live in Texas but miracles can happen.

Can I just say that I am so excited that I don't have to do anymore shopping. Kevin has to finish up today. I already found out about one of my gifts. So I get on my email last night and there is a message from AT&T. It said that it was verifying my recent changes to my account. I asked Kev why they would send an email about that he just started laughing. Kevin has never been able to hide much from me. He always leaves receipts laying around and it is a big joke at our house. So he got me a new phone, needless to say I got it early and I LOVE IT!

I guess that is enough randomness for now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Don't be shocked

Well it has been over 2 months since my last post, don't be shocked that I am actually posting again. I would say that I am committing to write on my blog more often but then I might disappoint myself if I don't do it. Life has been BUSY but so good. A little catch up in list style.
1. I found out that I have a herniated disk in my back...yucky!
2. I did the Nativity bulletins again at church, it was officially my last time doing it, I resigned.
3. Jacob has now lost 6 teeth and looks so cute.
4. Jacob is loving 3rd grade and has joined the chess club at school, we are now playing a lot of chess around here.
5. Kevin is still doing well at work. He has completed his necessary training to become a supervisor (he would be over 8 stores instead of one) so now it is just a waiting game until something is available.
6. The weather here has been extra cold and I love it!
7. I still love my job and the people I work with.
8. I can't think of anything else I'm sure there is much more but lets stop here. Maybe I should try to get to 10.
9. Halloween was fun Jacob was Yoda and got a ton of candy.
10. Thanksgiving was nice, we made dinner here for just the 3 of us and I loved it.

OK I made it. Well I'm off to church. Looking forward to the next 10 days Kevin is on vacation! I can't wait to spend so much family time together.
