We took a family camping trip North to see the tulip fields. Truly spectacular, so glad we decided to go. Oh..and I turned 27 this year!

We took on the big project of leveling out our back yard. It was fun when we started, and we LOVED it when it was finished, the in between? Meh.

We continued work in the back yard, our kids are hard workers! I got to fly to Florida and meet my brand new niece, Jordan! We also had a fun camping trip with our church small group in Westport, WA, and Richard got the illness of his life with some mysterious stomach bacteria!

Benjamin turned 4! Richard turned 30! He got a new truck, and we used that truck to pull our pop up camper down the Oregon coast. A fun, but rainy Summer vacation.

Summer vacation in the actual Summer. We headed to Ohio, we got to spend some time in Ohio's lush, green, mosquito filled paradise. :) It was fun. I miss hot Summers, but I don't miss the bugs!

A new first for our family - Ben and Evelyn went to preschool! They absolutely love it and get so excited each week to go. We also went on our first family train ride, the kids really enjoyed that too.

We proudly welcomed Emmett James to our family on October 12 after a long labor, which included Richard getting a stomach flu! I hired a birth photographer for the 2nd time. She was fantastic, I love having those images to remember the day!

A turbulent month filled with Christmas activities, like gift giving, puking, flying, and taking a ride on the polar express. Overall a fun time spent with family and friends in Washington, Ohio, and Michigan!

Overall, 2011 was a great year, filled with travel, fun times with friends and family, and tons of new memories. We added another healthy baby to our *not so* little family, and we know we have been blessed beyond measure. We look forward to seeing what God has in His plans for us in 2012!
Happy New Year!
