April: 

Another busy month of playdates and mommy's day outs with the kids

Tot-town, parks, library 

Bryce started wearing glasses for his far sidedness. 

May:

Bryan and I celebrated our 5th anniversary early in Disney World for a week. 

Grandma and Grandpa stayed with the kids, and enjoyed every minute of it...even getting locked out of the house with the kids inside the house. :) Oh the things we don't know until we come home...it's best that way! 

I turned 27 this year, and I feel 30 getting closer and closer everyday. 

Bryce turned 2 this year, he had a Tow Mater birthday party. Noni was able to fly out and enjoy the celebration with us. This year was extra special for Bryce and I both. His birthday was actual on Mother's Day this year, so he got 2 birthday parties. One with all of his friends and one with all of his family in Mesa on Mother's Day. It was a very special day for all the Mother's and big brother Bryce! 

Noni made it home just in time for Papi's birthday. Pawpaw's celebrated a birthday on the same day. Gotta love May babies! 

We finished the rest of the month off with pool parties and lots of swimming. Bryce became quite the fish in the water. 

June: 

18th Bryan and I celebrated 5 years of being married! 

I lost a wonderful college professor this month to cancer. 

We spent almost every other weekend up at the cabin for the whole summer. 

July:

The boys and I made a surprise visit to Texas. Stayed with the McMahan's for a few days and headed off to Dallas where it was a HUGE surprise to Noni that we came all that way without telling her. We ended our trip at Pawpaw's and Grandma Judy's. Making stops at the Great Grandparents Leta, and James, and Granny-dot. 

Same as June, spending tons of time up at the cabin escaping the heat of the valley.

August:

Nothing to exciting happened. Bryan finished up another block at school passing all of his classes! 

September:

Wow, what a busy month...

Weekend get away to La Jolla, Ca

Made stops at Sea World, Anthony's Seafood, USS Midway, and played on the beach.

Isaac turned one!

Noni and Papi came out for the HUGE celebration. Isaac had a Cookie Monster birthday party, with about 35 people celebrating with him.

Well they were still in town we ventured up north an paid a visit to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Williams, Az. While in Sedona we took a hummer ride out into the desert and enjoy the red rocks. 

October:

Ghost and goblins

We hosted our first pumpkin carving party! What a great turn out we had, and so much fun it was to see everyones work! Our family alone ended up carving 8 pumpkins this year. Everything ranging from Woody, Buzz, Thomas the tank engine, spiders, Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas, and so much more. 

Bryce wasn't into dressing up this year for Halloween. Maybe next year will be better, he was still a little confused about the scary costumes. We had a couple of events that we had to dress up for, so pulling all my tricks out of my hat I dressed him up as a cook. He wore my scrub hat, his cooking apron, and had a blow with a whisk. He loved it! Bryce on the other hand got some really cute monster pj's for his birthday and he wore those for his costume. Easy and simple, and CHEAP!!! 

November:

Thanksgiving in Texas was our BIG thing this month. We had a blast visiting with everyone and getting away from home for a little while, but it sure was nice to come back to our own beds! 

December: 

Christmas parties, cookie exchanges, Christmas programs, Christmas lights, Christmas dinners with friends, Polar Express, Christmas eve in Mesa, and Christmas day at home with Grandma and Grandpa McGee. 

Whewww my head is still spinning from the month  of December. It has been a crazy one! 

WE FOUND OUT BABY NUMBER 3 IS ON THE WAY!! 

Our goals for 2011 is to SLOW down and enjoy our family a little more. We aren't going to travel as much this year, and we are going to enjoy each other company. 

Happy New Year! We welcome 2011 with open arms! It's going to be a good one for the McGee family!
