2009 to 2010

Where did the last year go. Ever since Alex was born I have been asking myself that ever New Year. So here is a recap of 2009. (This idea was stolen from Ashley, so I can't take credit, Thanks Ash).

January

We celebrated the New Year with friends, Clarkes, Petersons, Haynies, Yate. Also we kept working on finishing the few projects left around the house.

Feburary

Alex spent a few days with his first real sickness. He had a runny nose and cough. It was the only time he has ever sat still all day long. Also, we did more tiling, this time the laundry room.

My poor little guy!

Brad, mixing grout

March

Deven, Britany, Jax, & Avery Dicus came down for a visit. We took the kids to the children's museum at the gateway. Also crazy lady crashed car on front lawn.

not much to explain here.

April

We celebrated Easter. Alex had his first egg hunt and had a blast! For some reason I have only one picture from April on my computer.

May

Took Alex on the Thomas the train, better know as the Heber Creeper.  Also, Brad and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary. We went to the bahamas with Brad's cousins. And Alex had his first major Boo-Boo. He fell at a park and scraped his head and nose on the concrete, no thanks to Jake, (just kidding). And welcomed twins Easton and Mason Richards.

The past year was so much fun. It is crazy to see how big Alex has gotten and how much he has changed. We are looking forward to the new year and all the changes that are in store for us.
We will be happy to do some triathalons (Brad, not me), celebrate our 3rd anniversary, meet our new little one, celebrate Alex's 3rd birthday, and see Brad graduate in the fall!
2010 here we come!
