Continuing with our (sometimes) yearly tradion here is the year in review… (see 2008 here)
January:
Annual trip to Arrowhead with the Everys. Kiddos first time sledding!
I discovered Stringbean Company (which is happily/sadly going out of business), and made mini cookies. I was just getting used to the idea of being preggers with #3!
February:
Cora Jane turned 2 at Chick-fil-a, I gained perspective and celebrated our milestone 5 year wedding anniversary…
March:
Went to Palm Springs in honor of our 5 year anniversary, had a night hike.
April:
We came out with our Summer Lid, Easter and the Lip Dup to Our Lips are Sealed with my blogging friends!
May:
We launched MOMday Morning, Eli started baseball (which he is good at, but hates), and we hosted a “baby shower” for The Horizon Pregnancy Center instead of a traditional baby shower… because we literally have it all!
June:
Went on trek at Tanaka Farms at 37 weeks preggers in thousand degree weather. Oh and had Cyrus Daniel! We didn’t know the gender so finding out after that long horrible labor was such a thrill! He was the ugliest baby I have ever seen! REALLY!
July:
I turned 30, we flew our family to CO and I got to stand next to my beautiful cousin as the maid of honor in her wedding.
August:
Cyrus wrote a blog post, The OC Bloggers Ball and our annual Pageant of the Masters date in Laguna.
September:
The Just Spotted awards, Walking with Dinosaurs at the Honda Center and Eli turns 4 with a party at the Ocean Institute’s Tall Ships Festival!!
October:
We BOOed our neighbors, then got a BOO back, we went to LEGOLAND had Halloween and had a cover story at OC Family!
November:
Pinkalicious birthday party and the launch of our Real Men Wear Pink tee, our family photoshoot with Kristen for the Xmas card, and I’m thankful!
December:
We did our first annual Holiday gift guide, San Diego trip with some of our closest friends (post coming soon) sans kiddos, Christmas Eve and our annual New Years Eve party!
Looking forward to an even more exciting 2011!!

Ha! He was pretty bad. And after such a long labor it was a huge let down! I can only say it now because he is so darling… he he he!

Junglewife says
Great recap! I may have to do one, too… 🙂
I love the November picture of you in motion – that’s life, isn’t it?!
Looking at the beginning and ending pictures of the year just makes me realize how fast our kids grow up, don’t they?! I think your Cora Jane is just a tad bit older than my Claire – she’ll turn 3 in March.
Eli's Lids says
Yes just a month older (Cora is a valentines day bday). I thought the same thing about how much they change in a year. You are doing so great with your daily photos… talk about a flip book of changing kiddos!!
