Stacking Up Smith's: A Year in Review....

2010.....ummm............where did you go?

I cannot believe it's coming to an end. What a great year it has been for my fam of 4.

We started out the year with Molly starting her first extra curricular activity....gymnastics. She started in February, and also had her 4th birthday on 2-22. She wanted her birthday party at her gym and it was really lots of fun.

Gym time!

In April, Aubrey had tubes put in her ears....poor thing had ear infections continually from Dec-April. I'm glad to report she's had NO infections since. (knock on wood)

Also in April Greg and I took a motorcycle trip to and around Eureka Springs, it was beautiful on the back of a bike and I would love to go back again and again!

April also held an important deadline for my hubby and I. April 30th was the date we set to reach our weightloss goals. His was to lose 60 lbs. and mine was 40 lbs....and we reached them!

In May, my Prince Charming turned 28 and we celebrated with our good friends.

We soaked up lots of sun at Eufaula all summer long....and on days like today with a current temp of 30°, I'm daydreaming of my toes in that warm sand! Greggy enjoyed his new wakeboard and the new speakers on the boat he worked so hard on, and Molly found a new love for riding the tube....and I can't forget little Aubi-Aub! By the end of the summer she was no longer eating sand! :)

August was busy with Molly starting pre-k. She's loved everything about it so far. It was also a milestone for Aubi...she began walking on her own!

September we celebrated my 26th birthday on the 6th.

Shortly after was Aubrey's very 1st birthday. It went off without a hitch!

We also took a motorcycle trip to Texas and had a good time with great company. These peaceful views are from the top of Mount Scott that is inside the Wichita Forest Reserve and Wildlife Refuge in Lawton, OK.

October came and we had another terrific Halloween with phenomenal weather. November....Thanksgiving was a wonderful day of eating and just kicking back...so glad I wore stretchy pants that day, I ate SO much!

December got a little more hectic, but fun hectic. Molly started basketball, we had several Christmas parties, LOTS of Christmas shopping, gift wrapping, and baking to do! But of course it was all well worth it.

Christmas Day was nothing shy of terrific. I'm always emotional on Christmas Day but found myself only tearing up once, which could be a record! It's a good emotional though...I just find myself sitting back and taking in all our loved ones, both family and friends that surround us and it just overwhelms me at how blessed I am. Not sure how I got so lucky. Made new friends, built stronger relationships with old ones.

Hats off to 2010...it has been a great one.

Aubi got a four wheeler from Santa...tops out at a whopping 2 mph. Within 20 minutes she was attempting stunts......we've got a dare devil on our hands!!
