2010 Recap Carnival

Recapping 2010--The first sentence from the first blog post of each month. An idea I stole from Jo-Lynne at Musings of a Housewife.

January--It may be news to you if you have never seen such movies as Varsity Blues or Friday Night Lights that football is a big deal in Texas...NFL, college, high school, middle school, even pee-wee.

Our adventure to the Texas High School football championship game.

February--I wanted to do something with Mini-J other than going to the park because a)it was really cold yesterday and b)the park gets boring for Aunt Dana.

Taking Mini-J bowling.

March--My dear friend, Cam, is getting married in April! I have the honor of serving as a bridesmaid.

Debuting my bridesmaid dress for Cam's wedding which also made it onto our Christmas card!

April--Having Flat Stanley is a great opportunity for Nicholas and I to visit some places we haven't been in awhile.

Taking Flat Stanley to visit the Texas Capital building.

May--The hubby and I did not almost buy a new truck this week because we thought we could get a super sweet deal with 0% interest.

Not Me! Monday...something I haven't participated in lately.

June--This little guy likes to hang out in our backyard. (followed by a picture of a cute blue jay)


An installment of What' New Around Our House.
 
July--A couple of weeks ago, Mini-J came to stay with Aunt Dana and Uncle Nick.
 
August--August. A few short years ago August meant long hours of being out in the sun for marching band practice the two weeks before school, drinking lots and lots of water, getting a farmers tan, sweating profusely, and loving every minute.
 
August will have a whole new meaning for me again in a few years!
 
September--College Football...The promise of Fall and cooler temperatures...Wearing short sleeves instead of sleeveless shirts...maybe.
 
Here's to hopinig that the new year brings better playing from the Longhorns!
 
October--The past few weeks have been busy and filled with exciting events. We celebrated our 3 year anniversary and found out we will be having a boy on the same day. Nicholas has been furiously busy working in his studio the past few months.

November--We spent the weekend in Dallas visting the family and getting lots of niece and sibling love. Saturday we took a trip to two nearby pumpkin patches.
December--On Sunday, we brought our first "real" Christmas tree!


What a great way to start December!
