Starting out with lots of cheeseballs!

Mom thought we needed a huge container of cheeseballs, Sawyer enjoys them...so do I :)

Relaxin'

Dress-up for boys?

Old old D pics

Darin's parents must have come across these when they were moving and gave them to us.  They are GREAT!!!  Shows us why all the kids and grandkids look the way they do, simply amazing!







My cute husband loooong before I knew him, the dimples still work their magic!

Mellow New Year's


We had a very mellow New Year's, or perhaps I should say for us with an 18 month old it was very eventful.  We went to Mandy and Chris' and played a Wii dance game.  It was quite the experience, very fun and hilarious!  Drew and Sawyer cuddled in his bed, so cute!

Every year that passes is full of happiness and of course, hardness but I feel so blessed for each day and most important each person.  I know 2012 will have its highs and lows but I cherish what we have and will strive to be a better person in so many ways.  So many thank yous to each of you for being the most important part of life and for all your love.  Aly

Christmas Eve

New tradition!!!  We met The Brewers at The Resort Christmas Eve morning and had coffee and snacks by the big fireplace.  Nice and cozy little visit and it started snowing just at we started walking home.

We had a very nice Christmas Eve...Went to church and it was so special and then some of the fam came over for Darin's "once a year chicken coeur don bleu".  I miss all the Christmas music and movies already!





You notice most of the ornaments on the bottom part of the tree are gone...Thanks Sawyer and Olive.

They have a give and take relationship.

The best little guy - Cuddled up in his PJ's on his teddy reading his book.

Little Party at Larry n' Orfa's


Logan played a few Christmas songs on his flute, so talented, thank you!  We all sang a little and danced :)


Got to hang out with Melody Melton (Darin's first babysitter and our high school speech teacher) and her husband Steve, they are amazing people and hope to see them again soon!

Finally did it...Sawyer's 1st haircut


He really wasn't diggin' it too much so Jamie and I sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Mason clapped and danced around...didn't really help but it was pretty hilarious!

Cookie Party

Another year of cookie making at moms...YUM!
