2010 Catch Up!



2010 Catch ups!
This year has flown by and has been so much fun. Since I am obviously not very good at updating this blog I will highlight the year. I am going to shoot for my New Years Resolution to be updating this thing at least once a month. I think that is a do-able goal.

January-May 2010, Brynna started walking and trying to talk a little. In February Jamin and I went to Lava Hot Springs like we always do for Valentine's Day. Of course the night before we thought Brynna got hurt. She jumped out of Jamin's arms and landed funny on her arm. We took her to Insta Care because we thought she broke it. She got a little cast becasue they weren't sure if it was or wasn't. We were mortified! We ended up leaving her with mom Mom the next day while we went out of town. We felt like horrible parents, but it ended up being fine. The doctor called while we were on the road and said that her are was fine and not hurt at all. We had a great time on our trip.














May 16, 2010 Brynna's first birthday. Best birthday ever. I did a cupcake theme that turned out really cute. I personally made a ton of cupcakes in all sizes and Brynna got a giant one all to herself. All of her favorite people attended her big bash. I can't believe she is nearing on her 2nd birthday already!




















June-August 2010 (summer) As usual we camped ourselves out. I truly love camping and boating and would rather spend my time with familiy and friends doing this than anythin else. Brynna was an so awesome! She loved the boat, water and beach. I am pretty sure she is the easiest going baby on earth.
My birthday and the 4th of July are two of my favorite days of the year. The 4th is always a great day. We have all our friends and lots of family come over to our house and have a big party. The kids played on a big blowup water slide and the adults eat and mingle.
We also spend lots of time out in the yard playing as well as tending to our yummy garden. Nothing better than my very own home grown veges!!!














September-November 2010 I started teaching again, this is my 3rd year and I still love it. First graders are so cute! They love to learn and they love their teacher. :) It sure is fun to teach them how to read.
Halloween was a blast! Brynna was Tinkerbell and so was I. Jamin was of course Peterpan. We went to my schools carnival as well as trick-or-treating around our house. I also had my annual chili dinner with some family and friends. I used the veges out of my garden to make the best chili. I still have loads in my freezer, yum!
Thanksgiving was a little different this year. It was pretty low key. Usually we have tons of family we are with but it was just us this year. Well, I mean us as in, My mom and Wayne, Con, Lins, Ash, Jamin, Brynna and me. We ate at my mom's house and it was great. Of course we missed having everyone else around. :)














December 2010 - Yay I will be up to date!
This month has flown by! We have done so much, lets see from the beginning. Well I started my shopping on Black Friday with mom. I was astonished that I actually got most of my shopping done that day. It was a lot of fun shopping with my mom. ; )
Later in the month we went to Colonial Square in Bountiful to see Santa and walk around and get into the Christmas Spirit. Brynna was not very excited to see Santa that day. I ended up having to go back to the mall to get a decent picture with Santa a few days before Christmas. She was much better that day after he gave her a candy cane.
Christmas Eve was great. We were at mom's as usual. Grama and Grampa Miller came for Christmas this year so that was special. All the usuals showed up and we ate and of course opened our jammies. Brynna opened a few gifts from people too.
I was so excited for Brynna to open her presents on Christmas morning. Santa brought her a stroller, crib and new doll. She LOVES them. She is actually playing with her toys everyday, which makes me so happy. She also got a Weebles Treehouse, clothes, some games, a car she can ride in, and her very own recliner for the basement from Nana and Grampa. Jamin and I got a huge Christmas present this year. We finally fishished our basement. We got new carpet, leather couches, a big flatscreen tv and tables. We are really happy how it turned out. : )

Well that was a year in a nut shell. The best part of the year is having Brynna around. We are so grateful for her. She is amazing and I can't imagine my life without her. She really has grown up into this darling little toddler in just the last month. She seems older everyday. She is very petite but fairly tall. Her hair is white, but thick and she lets me curl it which I love. She has great big blue eyes and looks just like Jamin. I think and hope she is looking a little more like me.

After starting this blog over a year ago... I am going to try and keep it updated with the happenings of my little family.
My little peanut is my whole world so most of what I write will most likely be about her. Brynna just turned 9 months on Feb. 16th. I can't believe she will be a year in 3 short months. Time has flown by! Jamin and I have had more fun with her than we could of ever imagined. She will be walking before I know it. She loves to stand along the furniture and just learned how to push her little train and to take a few steps.
