Past & Future

I have been putting together a scrapbook of our last year and after reading a bunch of people's Christmas cards of what happened this past year, I wanted to document our past year.

January: Josh started studying for the DAT again.  I was called into the Relief Society Presidency.

February: Josh went to California to ski with his Dad and my Mom came out to stay with me.  The kids took swimming lessons & Megan lost her 2nd tooth.

March: Connor got his first tooth, Bryson became a "big boy", Josh & I got glasses.  Josh took the DAT, Megan bore her testimony for the 1st time in Sacrament meeting, & the kids took swimming lessons again.

April: Megan & Bryson started soccer.  Josh was Bryson's coach.  I backed the van into a pole; Jacob, Julia & family came out to celebrate Easter with us. Went to Thunder Over Lousiville, and started putting together a swingset for the backyard.

May: Josh finished the swingset that the kids loved playing on.  We hosted our 2nd Derby Bingo party.  We planted our first garden.  I traveled out to Utah with Connor for my little sister's graduation, and we went on our first girls weekend retreat to Bear Lake.  The kids participated in a dog training event and loved it, and Connor mastered crawling.

June: Megan & Bryson finished soccer, Connor had both of his tear ducts probed, and we spent a lot of time at the zoo, water park & library to pass the time.  

July: We went boating, and celebrated the 4th of July with our ward.  Josh didn't get into dental school so we traveled out to California to visit family and friends, and had a lot of fun going to 6 flags, swimming, fishing & seeing everyone.  I was able to see Matt & Stacie on our way home from California which was nice too.  Connor turned 1!  We enjoyed our county parade & fair. 

August: We had Jacob & Julia and family come visit on the end of their long roadtrip.  Megan started 2nd grade,  Bryson started preschool & Connor started walking.  We got rained out camping & went to a baseball game. 

September: Megan turned 7 year old and tried to go water skiing for her first time.  The kids went fishing, and started another season of soccer.  Grandma & Grandpa Kelly came for a visit and we made many home improvements in the kitchen, and around the house.  We also went for a visit at Mammoth Cave.

October: We celebrated Halloween as the Toy Story gang and went to the Zoo's Halloween party a couple of times.  Jessie & Steve and family came for a visit & my Mom and Dad for my birthday!  We went to the farm and picked apples and took plenty of pictures.  With my parents we visited Abraham Lincoln's birth place & went on walks. 

November: Connor and I were able to spend a day with Bryson at school for his fall festival.  Megan & Bryson finished soccer and almost froze on the last day.  We celebrated Thanksgiving with Jacob, Julia & family at our house, & the Gremmerts.  We spent the night freezing in line at Toys R Us and did more shopping on black friday. 

December: Josh got in to dental school and turned 31!  Bryson turned 4 and had his first b-day party.  We made & ate lots of gingerbread houses.  We celebrated Christmas by ourselves and enjoyed a relaxing day.  We spent new years eve with some friends playing games & eating yummy food.

2011: We are looking forward to... TRAVEL.  We are going to be going to Cancun, with no kids.  We will be traveling out west to visit family and friends before Josh starts dental school.  We look forward to Josh starting dental school & excited that we don't have to move.  We are looking forward to Megan getting baptized & starting 3rd grade.  Bryson will be in preschool again.  We look forward to new adventures and fun memories.
