Grumpy Grateful Mommy posted about the 2011 Review Extravaganza and I thought it would be fun. For the four Fridays in December they are having you review your year. It's a chance to look back on the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2011. Hope you enjoy this trip in memory, and take one of your own. Link up if you want!
The first segment is January-March 2011.
A friend of mine from MA was down in Disney so we surprised the boys with a trip to the Magic Kingdom!
The big excitement of January was a trip to see Monster Jam. Anyone who follows my blog knows my boys LOVE monster trucks. They had a blast. You check it out if you want to see them loving the show and many of the trucks on my post from that day. And yes we are going back in 2012 we already have tickets!
February brought about the boys first trip to the dentist. They did... ok!
We took the boys on a hike in the woods on one of the bike trails we frequent, ok Richard frequents. They had a blast. And I got some great photos. Check out the post to see more photos from that day.
In March, Richard and I had a weekend to ourselves and the highlight was a bike trip. We both have mountain bikes but don't often get to ride together.
We try to expose the boys to a variety of entertainment and Mickey Magic show was just up their alley!
The other really big thing that happened in that time frame was Blake's reading ability blasting off. It really hit me how smart he was in March. Read this post to see how and why.
Since this was also the year of my first project 365, I have to leave you with one last picture:
We love Disney!!!! We used to live in Orlando and I bet we've been to Magic Kingdom (or the other 3 parks) no less than 40 times. :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! We go hiking as often as we can, too. But definitely not in the winter. :o)
Good for you for doing the 365, I did a couple of years ago but missed about 4 months of time in the end. My son's first trip to the dentist was quite traumatic-luckily things have gotten better.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for recapping with us! I have your first point recorded.
Lori is an awesome name! ANd Rich is awesome name for a husband! ;) Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI love your dentist office, with the tables for the kids. it's so awkward and kind of scary for the kids to lay/sit in the chairs.
So glad you linked up! It was fun to check out some of your posts from earlier this year--I can't believe what a great reader Blake was at such an early age! And I have been longing to go to Disneyland again. Disney World would be fun too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just adorable and that last picture is precious!!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI wish Emma's dentist office looked like that. Wow! And he didn't even look scared!
aw I love their expressions in Disneyland. Definitely the happiest place on earth for those two!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to take our future kids hiking. It's one of our favorite things to do!
Oh Disney World...brings me back!!!:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to recap.
love that last pic.:)
have a happy day lori
my brennan would die for monster jam. every year the monster trucks come we say we're going to go, but it always ends up that we are too lazy when it comes down to it, someone is sick, or we have other plans. excuses, excuses.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so cute and it looks like they did really, really, well at the dentist!!
