Year In Review 2009

Every Christmas I make scrapbook pages for my mom and my mother-in-law as a present. Here is what I came up with this year.

Christmas Cuties

Here is the best picture I could get of my kids in their new Christmas

outfits before church today...not bad!!

Candy Buffet...Etc

This is the Candy Buffet I set up for Annie's Wedding..I think it turned out pretty cute. I have such BIG plans for my kids baptisms and weddings now....stay tuned!

Here are pics of the food buffet I set up....I didn't make any of it, but they were all my family's recipes....

Salsa Bar

I wish I could say I made this...so pretty!

Here is the only pic of me..I am a dancing fool/DJ

Don't ask me what Matt is doing to my little guy
Not the cutest pic of Carlie, but it is the only one I got!! But look at those CURLS! I was sooo busy being the DJ that I forgot to take pics
Berk stealing candy...I was stealing candy or cupcakes or grapes ALL night long!
Here is Berk after one of his cupcakes
He spent the night (while we were cleaning up) pulling coolers around or pushing carts around!

I can hardly wait until I can see the real wedding photos.....but I thought I would post what I had. What a great night for Anne-Marie and David. I am so happy for them.

Carlie is the Happy Elf!

Carlie's Winter Performance for her dance class was tonight. It was so much fun!

BABY it is Cold Outside So Here are the Last of my Summer Photos that I Never Blogged About

River Rafting the Deschutes with the Nerdins...gotta love having friends that own rafts! Pretty fantastic. I don't think I will every get sick of going. Such a rush.

After we went rafting we went on a little side trip to White River Falls. I never knew it existed and we have lived in The Dalles for FOUR years! Pretty crazy. My pictures do not do it justice. The sun was in the wrong location.

Here are pictures of what used to be a dam and it powerhouse.

My people had been here!

Cliff jumping

Man I am pretty

Look at Berk in his super cute church outfit.

My pretty princess!

Here is Anne-Marie & David on the night they told us they were engaged. We were playing games at my house when all of a sudden we noticed she had a ring on her finger. Pretty neato.

We know that we are hot...

Carlie & her cousin Adan..they love each other.

Here are the kids "helping" me pick blueberries. I am very lucky to live in an area where you can go pick all kinds of fresh fruit pretty much year round.

Berk loved the"gator" at Apple Orchards

What a great big sis...we were going to pick some pears

This pic makes me miss the summer soooooo much. I have so much fun being a full-time mommy in the summer.

Last trip to the beach this past summer. I spent the whole time chasing Berkeley around.

Carlie spent the whole time floating around in her intertube

More self-portraits

Berkeley stealing my diet DP again! Gotta love his big blue eyes, giggle, & sandy feet

Carlie is a water freak!!!

It is super cold outside tonight...so it made me think of warmer days. So that is why I did this super long picture post of the last of my summer adventures.
