2011 Recap

This year has been an eventful one, to say the least! Here is a monthly recap.

In January, we went to Taos for New Years, met Great Grandma and Cousin Shelly, and played in the snow.
We welcomed our sweet nephew/cousin Tate to this world.

Carrie came to live with us for a few weeks while she studied.

Mary came to visit, and photograph Sawyer :)  This was also the month that I went back to work, and Sawyer went to Sara's.

In February, Sawyer and I met friends, the Drums and Reicks, in Taos.

Sawyer flew for the first time, to Texas, to meet his cousins.

In March, Mimi and Papa Jim came to visit.

I turned 28 and Sawyer turned 6 months. 

My sweet friends flew me in to Texas, and Sawyer got to see family, including Great-Grandma and several aunts and uncles.

In April, Sawyer and I made a trip to Albuquerque, where we got to spend some valuable time with Grandhelgy. 

We also celebrated Easter, with the girls. 

In May, cousin Amy came to visit! 

Aunt Carrie and Gigi came up for Memorial Day. 

In June, the best month, Hunter came home from Afghanistan - finally Daddy time!  This was also the month that Sawyer began to crawl everywhere!

We also welcomed home our other soldiers!

In July, Hunter and I took our first sans Sawyer trip for our 5th anniversary.  Granddaddy and GiGi babysat, and I survived!

We also went on a big Texas tour, including the beach, the lake, and the hill country. 

Hunter turned 30!!!

In August, we enjoyed the remainder of Hunter's time off, and embraced our life as a family of 3! 

In September, we said good-bye to our dear Grandhelgy.

And, then we celebrated, this big boy's first birthday! 

In October, Sawyer got his first haircut and learned to walk!!!

He also dressed up as a lion! 

In November, we flew to Texas again for a wedding, and a visit with Mimi and Papa Jim.

Later, we flew back to East Texas for more cousin love. 

We also showered our friend Kristal, who just had baby Easton today. YAY!!!

We celebrated Turkey-Day in Houston.... 

with the whole family! 

In December, Morgan and Blake came to visit! 

We had a blessed Christmas...

with a happy boy! 

We enjoyed the Winter weather.

And had another Christmas in Taos! 

We have so much to be thankful for, and look forward to what 2012 brings!
