2010

2010 is just about over and this is the first post of the year. It has been quite the year. Here is goes:
January came with snow and more snow. February Sharyn went to Colorado with some airline points that were about to expire to visit her best friend from college. They had a great time--especially getting their eyebrows waxed! :). March brought Alaska for Sharyn and Josh. Josh turned 12 and received the priesthood just before they left for Alaska. Josh was able to attend a youth leadership conference that was just amazing. Thanks to his Aunt Rosanne, he was also able to go snowboarding and snowmachining for the first time. We had a lot of fun! April Sharyn went to Utah. She got to see several sister in laws and reconnect with them over lunch. May was mother's day--she LOVES her children so much. June was the end of school--yay!! The family took Emily to EFY down at Southern Virginia University and stayed a week in a beautiful log cabin in Shenandoah. We were able to attend church at a small branch and the kids really enjoyed that! Emily LOVED efy and plans on going again next year. July brought Trek. Emily was able to attend and Sharyn went as one of the photographers. It was a great experience! August was girls' camp and well--that's always wonderful. September school started up again. Emily is in 10th grade; Josh is in 7th grade; Abby is in 5th grade; and Ben is in 2nd grade. They grow so quickly. The end of September Deven and Sharyn went on a cruise to Cozumel. It was a lot of fun and we met some great people. October was Halloween--lots of candy from the ward trunk or treat! November our family went to Disneyworld for Thanksgiving where we met our Alaska family. We had a great time! December is all about going to the kids concerts and celebrating Christmas. This year has really gone by so quickly. I could write a bunch more, but will save that for later.

Halloween!

Yeah, so this is the second post of the year :0 waaaay out in october! Everybody had a great, but wet halloween. Ben was a pirate, eyepatch and sword to go with it, Abby was a spy, Josh was a....I dont even know what he was. I think he was Aragorn?? I dont know, someone from Lord of the Rings. I was a jellyfish! Mom and Dad were people who huddled under an umbrella. We had pumkin soup and thai chili YUMMY ;) Definatly scored big on candy this year! Okay, Halloween down, Thanksgiving coming up fast, Christmas (!), and its 2010! Happy Halloween everyone!

Our First Post of the Year!!! 2009

This is it--we are now a bloggin' family. It is a new year and we thought we would get in touch with family and friends with our new blog. The kids are back to school; Deven and Sharyn are back to work. Vacation is over and we want more and more to be in touch with our loved ones. We hope this blog helps. It will probably take us time to get into the "blogging" mod--but you will get see our learning curve.
As a family we have each decided on a New Year's resolution. We will post those--so not only will it be in black and white, but we will be reminded of what we resolved to do throughout the year. We hope this blog is beneficial for our family and we strive to stay more connected.
