Merry Christmas!
If I was to sum up our year in two words, they would be busy and blessed.
Both Cam and I continue to work. I am at Hobby Lobby in Ahwatukee and Cameron still with the City of Tempe. Every week has been a balancing act with two jobs and Jake, but we survived thanks to a lot of help from family and friends!
Blogs are amazing tools. I have had a lot of fun recapping our year through pictures and links, and hopefully you can find the time to check some of them out too.
In January, we decided to list our house for Short Sale.
After six months of no luck and lots of stress, we took it off the market and waited for the inevitable foreclosure... we are still waiting.
In March we took Jake to see the snow in Flagstaff.
And we snuck in Cameron's first ever ski trip!
In April, we attended the wedding of our good friends, Mandy and Trevor!
Isn't she gorgeous?
The only camping we managed this year was one night at Camp LoMia with the ward in late May.
I hit a home run with Cameron's Father's Day gift in June.
Cam has taken up a bit of hunting this year. Only small things like Quail and Doves for now.
This July was our big adventure for the year.
We traveled up to Aurora, UT for a family reunion and made some stops along the way.
In August we got the good 'ol project itch due to our overly extended stay in a foreclosing house and decided to create a playroom for Jake!
(You can also see some other projects I worked on this year on my craft blog.)
We still have both dogs.
Monkey as spastic as ever and Major calm and cuddly.
Here are some family photos that we had done in September by our friend Diana Pickett.
Our Halloween in October!.. duh!
December has already proven to be eventful as Jake got to meet Santa on the Polar Express! (I haven't had the chance to blog that yet. :) )
We are excited for Christmas with a two year old and especially grateful for this time of year and the opportunities it awards us to teach our son about Jesus Christ, his birth and especially his atonement.
Stay tuned this year as we have big plans. A possible move, a cross country trip and a wedding to name a few!
We hope all is well with you and want to wish you the best in 2011!

You missed the whole part of June where your pregnant sister visited and went into labor. Corynn was super awesome and was part of the "swat team" for getting her safely to the hospital as well as wrangling Dear Daughter #1 while Aly was "indisposed."
Oh yeah, and we went to the circus.
Come to think of it, Cameron did a significant amount of child wrangling and support work while Aly was there as well.
Thanks to both of you!
I can't wait for your cross-country trip!!!!
