UPDATE: this post is sooooo freaking old...I have tried to edit and publish it a thousand times, but lets just say that I got overwhelmed, but im just going to finish where I'm at and start fresh....going forward...the rest of 2010 was awesome!...nough said LOL
Well I figured since it's a New year and one of my New years "resolutions" was to start blogging more and since I really didnt update much on the happenings of 2010, I figure "new year, new BLOG!" so i will post about 2010 in a review of month to month pictures and then MOVE ON and eventually on my next post, we will get into how awesome and magical Christmas was for us this year.....anywho here we go:........
January brought blessings for Caitlyn and Chase FINALLY! it was beautiful, just super close friends and family at the church, Nate did such a great job and the spirit was much felt there
It was actually a triple blessing with my niece Zoie's blessing as well, given by my father-in-law who also did a fantastic job.
a Daddy and his princess
Mommy and her Princess Caity-girl..I just loved her blessing dress that i picked up at a consignment shop that was brand-new and was only $10 buckaroos!
February: not too much happened just 3 kiddos in matchin shirts for Grandma Brillharts favorite Nascar guy LOL!
We celebrated Chases 2nd birthday, we hit the mall for dinner and the play area and came back and had a cars themed day! he was in heaven
we also joined Coby at his school for a Valentines day party, fun times, even though he doesnt look it in this picture, he had a great time passing out his goodies to his classmates
fun play group/card making party
we joined friends at backyard adventures to avoid the bitter cold
and this little Princess turned 6 months old and started crawling EVERYWHERE!
March: Coby's 5th birthday, poor kid was so tired after a fun day that by the time we got home, he fell asleep just as we were getting his candles lit, but no worries he enjoyed a piece the next day LOL!
we also enjoyed many trips to the skywalks with cousins (side note: if you live in Iowa and havent been to the skywalks yet, I HIGHLY recommend it, a great escape and place for kids to run especially on the weekend *free parking*)
many walks on the shywalks
April: finally warm enough to make our first trip to the park, which was wonderful
this big boy surely enjoyed the park and outdoors
as did this little guy!
my favorite spring outfit on this little Princess
Easter, can you believe I have no pictures on my camera of us wearing our easter finery, but my mother-in-law has them on her camera
coby enjoying what the easter bunny left him
Princess Caitlyn checking out her loot...i cannot believe how bald she was LOL!
Chase loved his Dora coloring book and Leap Frog letter factory video
just a little picture of a daddy and his boy
at the end of April Nate graduated with his associates in Nursing
again, i truly cannot express how proud I'am of my man. he worked super hard and continues to work hard towards his BSN
the day was extremely emotional for our family, the relief that the hard part was over and just how we made it through school as a family. I was and am still so proud of Nate and proud of our family as a whole and I think this picture just says it all
May and June: brought a trip to vegas, which for some reason i cant seem to find the pics of that trip ANYWHERE :( Nate and I also celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary and many other fun adventures...onto JULY: which brought 4th of july which i too cant find those pictures. Also brought this Princess's first birthday party
I was EXTREMELY emotional all week leading up to her first birthday and the day of, because i was just sooo sad how fast her first year just flew by us, she is my princess and I have wanted a princess my whole life, dont get me wrong i get this way at all of my kids birthdays, but the first one usually hits me the hardest and hers hit me the worst, because were not really sure if we will have more kiddos and that thought in general KILLED ME!....anywho on a lighter note: her birthday was special, sweet and all things GIRL and PINK
ok, so I suck!~ and didnt get many pictures of summer, I did, but I think there on my old camera and I cant find it anywhere....we enjoyed summer 2010, by beginning with a trip to vegas, which I got a few pics of, but again there on my other camera. The trip to vegas was fun and we enjoyed shopping, family, food and fun.....we enjoyed our summer with trips to the pool, wading pools and parks......I know I wish I had taken more pictures....moving on, september brought a trip from my littlest sis sophia (who now lives with us!!!) we went shopping, to dinner at p.f. changs and a fun trip to the omaha zoo! we had a blast and we missed her so, when she went back home we were sad, but she came back to stay!
dinner at pf. changs mmmmmmm
the day auntie sophia left
at the omaha zoo
October: brought a move for us to a new house! which we love, it has a great back yard, lots of storage, a HUGE kitchen and basement and the layout is like my dream layout, when we build our dream house someday, I would like this exact same layout....moving on we soooo enjoyed October, between pumpkin patches/apple orchards, halloween and the beautiful Fall, october did not disappoint.
Daddy and Caity
Chase in the corn pool at the apple orchard/pumpkin patch

our cute new house, this picture so does not do it justice. The yard (front and back) is beautiful, it has a fantastic layout and is the perfect size for us right now
has the BEST sense of humor!
has been married 7 good years
