2011 Highlights

Okay, I'm going to summarize 2011 with pictures :)

We enjoyed fun dates in Provo: 









Welcomed Steve's brother, Jeff, to the MTC and both finished teaching there


Hung out with our super cool brothers and sisters and cousins:




Relived our very first date on April 10 by going to Divine Comedy:



GRADUATED from COLLEGE



We won the intramural championship for softball:



We went on a trip Whistler, Canada with Kirsten and Mike:



Steve learned to Water-ski:

We built that awesome rock wall in the back: 



Traveled to both Mesa, Idaho, and Washington! 
(Not many pictures from those trips...sorry)


Blew a tire while doing it (at least it was when we were in Jonny boy's car):



Jon married the gorgeous and wonderful Nicole:



Moved across the country!

Steve drove from Mesa to Virginia with Dad
***Sorry no pictures from the awesome drive, but I heard it was wonderful***

While he was driving I was in Yellowstone family reunion-ing



My feet were swollen for 4 months of the year...



Steve started Law school at GW:


We celebrated our 1 year anniversary!


We began exploring DC and the surrounding area:


  

We celebrated Halloween as a soccer couple:


I got 3 Yahtzees in one game...definite highlight:


I went from this:

to this:


Which brought us the BEST blessing possible!: Our little Nate!

Nate had heart surgery at 5 days old and came home 2 weeks after surgery:



Now we explore DC with a stroller too! (which by the way, I got for a super good deal):




We celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time without extended family :(  But we have good friends instead and the meal was still a full out Thanksgiving dinner!


Please notice my rainbow jello that I HAD to make...turned out pretty!

We spent Christmas in Mesa and Richland and loved every minute of both places!


Steve gave Nate a beautiful baby blessing:

We watched every episode of the Biggest Loser and in then ran into THE biggest loser, John, while in Mesa:



We're excited for the new adventures of 2012.  The Lord has blessed us in so many ways and we're pumped to see what's in store for us this upcoming year.  We plan to make each year the best one!
