Where to even start!? 2010 was a definitely a jammed packed year for us! From joining the church, to getting married, to welcoming our little girl, this past year has been just so amazing i dont even know where to start!! I knew i would like married life, but i had no idea how much i would LOVE it. I am so lucky to be married to a guy like Roby. Even when he ruffles my feathers, he can still make me smile while doing it. He is such a loving, fun, and just all around great husband and dad. It is so cliche' to say but it really is crazy how fast time flies. It seems like just last week we were heading out to the farm to go horseback riding when Rob popped the question. Now, i am starting a blog while my 6 month old is ooo-ing and ah-ing away in the other room! With Chloe being born in November, she had a few of her first big holidays right in a row. We spent Christmas out in Connell with Roby's side of the family. It was great to take part in his family's Christmas traditions. My favorite had to be the nativity scene the kids acted out. (Chloe was too small to play the baby Jesus, but next year she wont be so fragile.) Roby's brother Brett had just gotten back from his mission in Paraguay and played the part of the sheep in the nativity,mind you, everyone in the play was 5 years old and younger :) It was great to spend Chloe's first Christmas out on the farm! I always think how awesome it will be for her to grow up visiting both grandparents. One set on the east side of the mountains with endless acres to play on, a variety of animals, and just a totally different environment then the west side of the mountains where my side of the family is from. Her first Easter we spent in Kirkland at my Moms house. It was the first time all 7 cousins have been together! Its so funny that my sisters and I were all pregnant together! Mason was born in May, Chloe in November, and Michael in March. Bailey and Anna were particularity fond of little Miss Chloe. They each took turns holding their "baby Chloe" as they like to call her. This was the first year that my brother and sister and I did not take part in the Easter egg hunt. I was a little bummed at first, but it was probably for the better. One year, my sister got a bloody knee, one year i got shoved in the grass, one year my brother crawled out a window (we are a competitive bunch) It is all about the little kids now and it was so fun watching them run after those eggs! Gammy outdid herself and probably gave everyone of those kids the biggest sugar rush they've ever had! On the ride home it was hard not to think about how blessed we are to not only live close to both of our families, but to have such great, loving, supportive families. This last year we have gotten so much support and encouragement from our families, they made all the transitions so pleasant and relatively easy. From equipping Chloes nursery with furniture, to painting the walls, we could not have done it without our awesome families. Ok-so it was a little more than 150 words but it really has been such a fun, jam packed year! We look forward to sharing all the memorable milestones with everyone!!!
