GoodBye 2011!

2011... WOW! What a year that was. Lots of blessings and lots of trials that were well worth going through. Lots and lots of lessons learned, that's for sure.

Funny that as I am blogging about the year 2011, I came across a well said saying!

"Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself"


This year was full of changes and things that I never expected would happen. But, we live, love and learn.

SO much happened in 2011, I honestly don't even know where to begin. I guess I can start by saying how grateful I am to have the supportive family and friends that I do have. I don't know how I would have gotten through that year with out their love and support. As I am a positive person and try not to dwell on the negative that has happened, here are some of the most positive events in our lives this last year...

First, on June 15, 2011 at 1:38pm, Everett was born 7 lbs. 1 oz. such a wiggly little one! Oliver became a BIG BROTHER!! WOW, he was SO excited to finally meet his little brother! Everett has been a HUGE blessing in our life. He is such a happy little guy and definitely keeps a close eye on his big brother. Out of all people, Everett giggles at Oliver the most. I am SO excited for when Everett can interact more with Oliver. Oliver is such an awesome example. He helps mommy take care of little Everett. Although, sometimes yes, he does tease and take his binky or try to make Everett cry. BUT what big brother doesn't. It's tough love man! ;).

Mommy, Ollie and Rett snuggle time :)

Aunt Celeste was the first in our fam to meet little Everett.

So happy to finally meet this little guy.

Oliver was so excited about his baby brother! Everett is all ready to go home (onto the next adventure).

DISNEYLAND...

First trip to Disneyland for Oliver and Everett! Oliver was excited to receive his very first kiss from Minnie Mouse (he says Mickey Mouse got mad). Oliver also got to meet Mickey Mouse and Goofy and Buzz and Woody and so many more characters he was super excited!

Some dreams sure came true on this vacation!

Carousel at Disneyland! The very first ride we went on!

FIRST KISS!! Oh baby!

Halloween 2011...

I do have to say, our Halloween was FABULOUS! It all started with a Trick or Treat party with Mickey Mouse and Friends at Disneyland with cousins! Oliver chose to be Iron Man and Everett was a Bull Dog Puppy.. 

My little Iron Man all ready to go kick it with Mickey and friends!

Cutest Bull Dog ever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER!

Well, another BIG event in 2011 was Oliver turning 3! That was super fun! He got to have an awesome birthday party with his little friends at Kangaroo Zoo. Thank you to all who came to celebrate this special time with us!

Oliver and the Kangaroo!

THANKSGIVING!

First Thanksgiving for Everett. He got to have Turkey and Sweet Potatoes to. Baby food style. Thanksgiving was a happy day for us all. Full of fun with family and good friends!

Then came Christmas 2011! I do have a recent post before this about our Christmas! Check it out!


Have a FABULOUS New Year! 


We love you!
