A year in Review..

A recap of a year passed, idea stolen from fellow friends who did the same on their blog.

January 2009

We started the year out with a ton of birthday parties for Darrian's friends, Jan. is a popular month to be born. We also spent some time enjoying the CA winter with picnics in Sonoma.

We also made history and welcomed a new president, and a new era. I think this was my highlight of 2009.

I celebrated my 29th birthday, the last birthday I would celebrate in my 20's.

Darrian showed off some of his dancing skills

March 2009

Keith went to La for the weekend, and Darrian and I broke all the rules.

We also closed one door, and opened another with moving into a home with a backyard and some space. It proved to be the best choice, and the extra space was a huge bonus. We kept Darrian occupied by playing in the sink while Keith painted for endless hours.

I went out with some friends and celebrated my 29th birthday.

April 2009

We celebrated our favorite six year old's birthday.

Darrian refined his jumping skills, and found a favorite activity playing with a water hose.

The easter bunny came to visit..

May 2009
We celebrated many birthday's in May. Kelly's 30th, Niki's 29th, and a favorite girl of mine.. Lily's 1st!

We also spent lots of time at our favorite picnic spot in Sonoma.

June 2009

Keith and I celebrated 6 years married, I also remembered my Dad on his one year passing anniversary. I feel like Darrian grew up a lot in June, his toddler-ness was in full affect and baby fat was fading. Grandma bought him a new car, and he spent hours in it.

I went to a baseball game with the ladies

and Darrian met Elmo and his friends and LOVED them.

July 2009

We celebrated Natalie's birthday, and went to a fun kite festival, we also enjoyed a relaxing 4th weekend.

Devyn and I went to see a play and cashed in on the discount under 30 year old tickets.

Darrian fell in love with cars.


We also spent a lovely week in Cabo San Lucas and loved every minute of it.

August 2009

We celebrated Mom's birthday, Keith's birthday, Devyn's birthday, Greyson's birthday, Sean and Aiden's birthday and our favorite 8 year old's birthday. It is the birthday month.
