Some highlights of 2011 in random order...

ImageWe were able to enjoy a park visit while at my Aunt and Uncle's house for Thanksgiving! The kids could have swung all day. We also played a pretty mean game of Ultimate Frisbee! That was sure a blast! I wish I could have gotten more into it without packing around such a big belly...maybe next year! Thanks for the fun day! I sure love our visits!!!

ImageJust before T-Day Kyle turned 27! He loves rainbow chip cake with rainbow chip frosting! Since I grew up in a family of pie eaters we almost never have cake except his birthday or if Spence wants cupcakes occasionally. Making cake is pretty basic so it's nice to keep it simple. Thanks Kyle!!
ImageGrandma and Grandpa Jackman were able to come visit for almost a week during our school break! I'm so glad you could come!!! We went to a baseball field where spence attempted to practice for his Tball season coming up.
ImageThis is spencer's first time on a baseball diamond learning how to run bases with Grandpa!

ImageThe Children's Museum is always a hit! The kids just had a blast! I think filling the carts and checking out was the favorite

ImageThe museum is full of random things.

ImageWhile I had been so nauseous I decided to go visit my family in Utah for a few weeks! It was tough leaving Kyle, but so nice to have help with the kids and meals and not having to see my messy house getting more messy and the kids getting more bored each day. This is one of Spencer's favorite people, the famous Uncle Tyler!!! Spence plays make believe that he's going to Uncle Tyler's house all the time! The two are pretty good friends. Thanks family for making things so fun and nice for my kids!
ImageWhile in Utah we carved pumpkins. After showing spence the book of pictures we could carve he said, "How about a monkey?" I said sure! and had my dad help a bit. This was quite the family night project! It took 2 days till we all got our pumpkins looking great! I believe we carved 8 pumpkins altogether. My dad helped to gut each one! Thanks Dad for all of that hard work!
