Happy New Year!!

Happy 2011 to everyone!! It is going to be such a GREAT year!! Many many blessings to you and your families in this coming year. :)
Chris and I spent some time looking back over our life in 2010, and decided that these were our highlights (in no specific order):

1) We celebrated THREE years of marriage (May). HOORAY!

2) Braden turned ONE (Aug)!! He has taught us so much about parenting. :)

3) We found out we were having another baby (July). :)

4) We found out that little baby was another BOY, and we decided to name him Brant Christian (November). :)

5) We refinanced our home and are so happy to be saving money (December)!! :)

6) We started to do a little remodeling in the house and put in some fun hardwood floors (June).

7) We moved Braden to a new school (August) which we are completely in love with. He is flourishing there and we are so proud of him! :)

8) The Republicans took back control of the House (November). :) HA!

9) The Aggies had an awesome football season!! HOORAY!! It was super fun to be an Aggie in Austin this year! :) Hopefully they will finish strong with the Cottonbowl on Jan 7th. :)

10) We took some AMAZING trips this year (just the two of us and with Braden). We headed to Las Vegas (March), on the most amazing cruise ship EVER to the Caribbean (June), the beach (July), and to Disney World (November).

11) Had some fun weekend roadtrips as well to Baton Rouge for the Country Music Superfest (May), to San Antonio to spend a weekend celebrating our 3 year anniversary (May), to Dallas for my birthday weekend (Sept), to Dallas for the AM&M/AK game (Oct), to Lake Charles for some memorable weekends and many more. :)

12) We completed throwing the last of the 60th birthday parties for our parents. We threw Chris's mom's party in Dallas in April, and my mom's party in Lake Charles in June. :) Happy 60th bdays to everyone!! :) We are so blessed to have our parents and to be able to share in their milestone bdays! :)

13) Our new nephew Graeme Bryan was born (November). We adore him and cannot wait to watch him grow up! :) Our niece Riley turned 2 and Lainey turned 3 (December). :)

14) We got to experience all kinds of super fun milestones with Braden-rolling over, sitting, crawling, eating solids, walking, and talking. :) What a joy!

15) Braden got tubes in his ears and his infections are gone!! HALLELUJAH!! :)

16) LOTS of friends had babies and LOTS of friends' babies turned ONE!! :)

17) Braden got to spend a lot of good time with his grandparents and cousins.

18) I hit 11 years at Dell. I still cannot believe it will be 12 years in Feb 2011!

19) Chris hit 4 years at the One Star Foundation and he is flourishing there! We are so blessed to both have great jobs.

20) We are so happy, healthy, and more blessed than we ever could have imagined!! :) God is SOOO good! :)
