Memories, Dreams, & Reflections 2010



OF 2010
Thank you, Ashley, for such a great list!
 
 

1.Me!
with my proudest accomplishments: Samantha & Cashton. 
You make me that happiest mommy in the world!

2.I Love You
God Bless the Camera Timer and the Roof of our car...we took this shot in the parking lot after the Glee LIVE! Concert in May.  Isn't my hubby HOT?!?!  I love him for "indulging" me by going to it with me...and I say it in quotes because he totally loves Glee too :)

3.Still Laughing...
this gets me everytime!

4.Winter Wonderland
Our first EXTREME Letterboxing Adventure.  Read all about it here...but this is of my nieces and nephew walking across a frozen lake to the island. 

5.Birthday
the most eventful BIRTHday of the year, September 13th, we welcomed Cashton into our family!

6.Friends
YIKES!  This was a week before Cashton arrived....look at me all sweaty "Glowing"
These girls have been good friends since High School.  We try to get together often, but that usually means every 3 months or so.  LOVE THEM!

7.I Was Inspired...
I got my first DSLR camera in October of this year, and I just couldn't wait to capture some snowflakes from our first snowfall...
8.Spring Fever
Every spring the local Art & Garden Center has free admission during the Tulip Bloom...Sam LOVES smelling flowers!
9.Travel or Vacation
Every summer we take a big family camping trip.  This year it was UNBELIEVABLY HOT and HUMID...and I was UNBELIEVABLY HUGE and PREGNANT. That water was over 90 degrees (not refreshing) I pretty much went down to the water, snapped this shot of the men and kids fishing, and waddled back to the shade panting...to put my legs up.
10.Summer Days
Not only is my hubby's birthday in July...so is our anniversary (the 4th to be exact)  We're pretty patriotic, as you can see

11.A Day In My Life


12.All Smiles
How can I not smile every time I see these two together?

13.Autumn Harvest
14.Family
 My Favorite People

15.Celebrate!
Samantha celebrated birthday Number 3 in August....and became a BIG SISTER in September!

16.Let's Do It Again...
I can't take credit for taking this shot, but I will say that the Sisters-in-Law weekend getaway is a definite MUST DO AGAIN!
17.I Miss You
while my 95  year old grandmother is still here with us, many days she is not. 
I am so glad she got to meet Cashton.


18.Beautiful
Our Beautiful Daughter, Samantha.
Captured on the Fourth of July.

19.Dress Up
Halloween 2010: The Incredible Family
20.Macro

21.Holidays
my boys this Christmas

22.My Favorite
the first time Samantha held her little brother...I thought my heart would burst!
(edited by me...taken by my SIL...I was watching from my hospital bed)

23.Don't Ever Change
I know you are growing up sooo fast, but I do hope you keep all that joy in your hearts and that wonder in your eyes!

24.Just Because...So There!

25.Hopes and Dreams
Health, Happiness...and a LOT more pictures in 2011
