2011 in pictures


2011 was a wonderful, blessed, long, hard year for us. We were extremely blessed, but also walked through some really sad times. Life, right? I'm looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store for us. Here are some of my favorite moments from 2011.

January 
Briley had a big announcement to make last January :)

B's first big snow :)

February and March
I can't believe it, but I actually have ZERO pictures from these months... sad! Big events were celebrating our cousin Reed turning 2 in February and we found out we were getting  a baby brother too!

April
B dyed Easter Eggs for the first time

We did a  lot of playing outside and swinging!

May
One of the only pictures I have while pregnant with River... I am HUGE here, but I still had till August to go to (even though we only made it to July).

June
A very special little girl turned 3!

Partying at Chuck E Cheese with her cousins, Reed & Browning

July
4th of July- the kids played for HOURS on the giant water slide


 And Mommy parked herself at the bottom and didn't move nearly all day. I was MISERABLE and ended up in the MEU that night.


 Hmm? And what else happened in July? Oh yeah, this sweet boy made his (early) arrival and we settled in a for a long NICU stay with many up's and down's. 
Welcome to our world, River!

August
 Our 5th Anniversary... spent in the NICU at Children's

 And we took LOTS of wagon rides at Children's Hospital

September
 Somebody broke out of the NICU to come HOME!

 Only instead of home... we hightailed it to the beach for our first family vacation as a family of four. TEN WONDERFUL DAYS!

October
 Happy Halloween from Briley at Boo at The Zoo!

 Our little football's first Halloween 
(and Mommy's first homemade costume)



 Life at home

November

 The month of November looked a lot like this for us... lots of renovating!



 More :)


 Attempting a family pic... Daddy cropped out and B being crazy!

December
 River

 Santa came!

 Seeing Santa had visited!
