2011 year in review

This year had been so amazing, it is hard to rap up. 2011 included:
-Lots of Family in Town- Jill Jackson Wedding, Dave Christison Wedding, Steve Dent Wedding, Bob Christison Wedding, Summer Fun, and December Arizona Trip.
-Ran a Half Marathon
-Ran a 10k
-Went to Europe
-Went to Mexico
-4 trips to the hospital and a permanent IV (thanks to baby boy rich)
-Got Pregnant

It has been a year full of big events! I got to see my family pretty much every other month, I got to see parts of the world I never imagined I would see, I got to challenge myself and reach some amazing goals, and the best thing of all I got pregnant with this baby boy. It has been a year full of good friends, family, and travel. Looking back on it all reminds me of how great life is. 2012 I will become a mother. A whole new kind of adventure. New Years Resolutions: Be grateful.

Favorite Things

Volume Four:

Fireworks- 4th of July is my favorite holiday...even more then Christmas. I am counting down the days until summer.

Only real craving I have had during pregnancy. I plan to give it up after the baby comes, but for now I am enjoying every sip.
Covergirl Blush.

Coach Bags- My cute hubby got me 2 of these for Christmas. Black and Grey. They are really good quality so I don't have to switch out my bag all the time, they are stylish, and still somewhat affordable. I love them.

Rich Baby Boy's first animal. How cool is this elephant. My sister in law Trina made this and when you shake it, it rattles. I especially love the argyle. :) Thanks Trina!!

Best cheap accessories store ever! Maybe Utah will get one someday.

Baby Converse. Love it!

My iv bag.. it has literally saved me during this pregnancy. I am so grateful for modern medicine.

5.5 Months

Just a few more months.

Christmas 2011

Christmas this year included:

Christmas Eve at Macaroni Grill, Breakfast (Orange French Toast) and opening presents at Colby and Amanda's, Church (my sister in law did wonderful on her solo), Dinner with the Rich's.... Got some fun suprises from Marty but the best gifts of all was being with family and seeing Dirk's reaction to his new Zena Warrior Princess Calendar.

Took these pics a couple weeks ago. Figure I should document Christmas when we put it up, becuase it really does not happen every year. ;)

We are lucky to be right down the street from my neice and nephew and we love heading over there and watch them open all of thier presents!

Arizona 2011

I just spent a relaxing 10 days in Arizona, full of good food, movies, and shopping. It was a nice break.

Caitlin and I had some fun sister time, which included trips to Sonic for Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke and a Pedicure.
Lots of relaxing in the green chair. Marty and Caitlin have a lot of fun together.

My parents front porch. I love their house at Christmas time.

Marty and I at Abuelos, Yummy Mexican

We made gingerbread houses with good friends Billy and Katy.

Marty and Billy together again.

I love spending time with Katy. I just wish we lived closer!!

My dad and I went to the movies together of COURSE!!

I got to see Caitlin perform in her Show Diva's concert. She was so cute.

Last night before heading home

Merry Christmas Everyone, and in case you have not heard. I am having a BOY. :)
