Don't Go...

I love the holidays and all the festivities and happiness that is rolled up in them! I don't really dig how things get a little crazy busy and we sometimes don't get to nestle in with just our little family as much as I like to...but even with that I love all the gathering and partying, all the eating and baking, all the giving and recieving too, and all the smiling that comes with Christmas time.

 

And this Christmas and this year were pretty great. We are certainly blessed.

 

So... to quote the good Dr. (which I have done many a time!) "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!"

{Dr. Suess}

 

So this is us smiling because it happened and smiling to the New Year and all the greatness that it will certainly hold...

Happy First Birthday Brig!!!!

Today is Brig's first birthday. I can't believe that he is already one year old!!!! He is so big and doing so many fun things. It has been the craziest,longest,fastest,excitingest:),best year of our lives- all because of this handsome little man. Here is a look at how much he has grown this past year...

A Very Fine 09

So long 2009 and hello 2010. So many fun things happened in the past year but I am sure it is not hard to guess what our favorite was...here are a look at some of the best moments we had in 2009. And 2010 is looking better already!

(This is just a cool collage of little BMan and I thought that it kind of symbolizes how all of the little things of our past year culminated to the very best thing of all...Brig...a little sappy and corny I know...but go cross eyed and look at the picture...you have to admit- it's cool!)

Fishing...we love fishing in this house. And while some people doll their kids all up and show off their cuteness by Mickey Mouse or a nice tree or something...we just slap a giant bass next to our lil punkin and take a snapshot. Yes, we love fishing.

The Oregon Family comin to town...plus that fabulous BSU win over the Ducks wasn't too shabby either...
The Walker Fam Reunion. McCall in the summer....mmmmmm....


Brig's blessing was great. So much family came into town. We are so blessed to have so much great family.

Oh how I love huckleberries....love. love. love. And Cory is the world's fastest huckleberry picker...he even has a shirt and a trophy to prove it. Well, he should

A "Secret" Vacation...for some reason we felt the need to not tell anyone and just left for the weekend...so shhh...you didn't hear it from me. But just for the record...it was pretty fun..

We really caught "Whistle Pig Fever" this summer...

The Kenny Chesney concert...Brig was such a good boy and didn't come until 3 days after...and so in honor of how great the concert was- we now refer to him as "Uncle Kenny." Ok so Brig and I do at least. Ok...only I do.

A secret get-a-way...but I can't tell where! ;)

And of course the very, very most wonderful, happiest best part of our year was, has been, and will continue to be...

BRIG!

Happy 2010 to y'all!
