Here's our Christmas card for the year from Shutterfly.  I used Christmas Past Bundle from Memory Clips and Holiday Titles from Memory Clips.

Halloween

The boys had a fabulous time trick-or-treating this year.  Braden went to a few houses and then decided to hand out candy with me.  Logan and Dawson wanted to trick-or-treat until their candy basket was full and they sure did!  Here's a pic of my three Star Wars guys:

My boys!

I finally got the boys pictures professionally taken for the year and here are a few layouts I made with them:

Puzzle and Bubble Time

Braden loved doing puzzles and this puzzle Aunt Katie and Uncle Josh got him helps him with his name, letters and colors!

I got some really good shots of Dawson blowing bubbles on a Spring day here!  Who doesn't love bubbles?!

St. Patrick's Day

We had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day this year.  I made Irish Stew and Soda bread and it was yummy.  We also had a blast keeping up with our yearly family rivalry of our March Madness brackets (Logan is ahead of everyone right now).  

New Home!

Well, it looks like we will be in the Chicago area for a while now because we are building a home!  We are so excited for this new adventure!  They start digging tomorrow and we will hopefully be in our new home in July!  So happy!

Little Van Gogh

Logan has gotten to be a great little artist.  This is his interpretation of Van Gogh's Starry Night! He also won a competition by the Student Council in school for his Valentine's Day design being the best in the class.

Love My Boys!

The magic of a Mother’s Love, brings harmony and bliss. It covers like a blanket and cures boo-boos with a kiss. It offers grand protection from evil that’s lurking around, it tames the fears of little ones and turns frowns upside down.  It holds a wealth of wisdom, with gentleness it guides, it holds the hand when needed, then lets go with tears of pride. And though those precious childhood years in an instant pass, the love and magic mom instills, will  last and last and last!

Jenkins Family

We got to spend the Christmas holidays with family in Arkansas and had a fabulous time.  Here are a few layouts I made with some pictures of Derick with his dad and siblings. I love the playful picture at the bottom of the first layout and the second layout is great to see them "back in the day" and then current day.

Year in Review

2011 Year in Review
This was a hard project for me to do because I could only pick one picture per month which meant only one favorite thing per month.  I have so many favorites each month!!!!  I finally narrowed it down to one each :)
I have never been a person to make a lot of resolutions, but I read a blog about picking a single word to try to live by for the year and really liked the concept.  I have chosen the word ENJOY.  I want to ENJOY my husband, my kids, my church, my life!  Goodbye 2011 and hello 2012!
