OH SNAP!

 We thought that we'd start the year off with a bang... err... snap.

Photo Shoot

So my good friend Diantha French needed to take some photos for her photography class and I was only happy to oblige! I got to dress up in all my favorite colorful coats, hats and scarves! Here are a few of my favorites. There are a lot more on her website though! www.dianthafrenchphotography.com

This is me as Calvin and...me as Calvin's mom.

Such a dilemma!

I HATE being cold 

AND

I HATE paying for un-fun things, like electricity

All of these things equals wearing my cute winter things all the time, 

then turning up the heat when I really can't take the cold any more. 

Only 3-5 months of winter to go!!!

Why 2012 is Gonna Rock!

I love the beginning of a new year. I love making new goals for the next year. I even love reviewing the goals I made last year and see which goals I reached and which ones I forgot about. It's so fun to review the last year and look forward to the next. Here are the things I am most looking forward to this year...

 

 

1. Brendan's graduation from BYU!!!

 

2. Backpacking through Italy, Germany, France, and Spain!!! 

(Yes, the tickets are booked and I am all but packing now!)

3. My older sister is having a BABY BOY!!!

• I will be an AUNT for the first time
• Brendan will be an UNCLE for the first time

4. Moving to Columbus

5. Brendan starting Optometry school

The Happiest Place on Earth

Kristin and I braved the tea cup with Christopher, Brendan and Dave spinning as fast as they could. I didn't know a cup could turn so fast.

A collaborative effort...

Reagan Museum...Here's Brendan in front of Air Force 1

Balboa bars after seeing the Christmas lights.

 PS: did you know that people staple white felt to make their grass looked like its been snowed on in warm places? Hysterical! And not anything like snow!

Went to enjoy the warm weather at the beach and ended up saving a bird.

Last minute Christmas Shopping with the girls.

Kinda loved a warm walk on the beach on Christmas Eve
