2011 is off to a good start! We just returned from a trip to Albuquerque and El Paso to see these two tie the knot. Meet Clay and Andy. Clay is Cliff's little brother, and Andy is my new sis-in-law. ...
I feel like I was just helping Clay with his 7th grade science homework from Mrs. Shashy. Not that I'm soooo much older than him, but he was in 7th grade when Cliff and I started dating. I thought we were still the newlyweds! I guess they have taken our place!
The wedding was in the Albuquerque LDS temple, and their reception was the following weekend, so we were in El Paso for a week and half. That gave us plenty of time to have fun with all of our family. We got to visit a lot with Grandma Dotty (my mom's mom), our parents, and the little cousins.
I had several photo shoots in El Paso, so Deborah, Cliff's cousin & Danny's mom, watched my kids a few times. Thanks, Debs! Stone and Danny have SO much fun together. They wrestle, they get mad at each other, and then they get over it, have some more fun, and then the cycle repeats. Bumps and bruises are always included. They are a lot of fun to watch. Here are some pictures of them wrestling on the temple grounds after the wedding. ...
The following two pictures are just to prove, it really is in good fun...
Stone sometimes thinks he's a Kung Fu Fighter. I think Danny got knocked in the face on the following one...

Update on my kiddos...
So this boy...
told me yesterday, that he needed to take off his undies so he could go swimming. No, I don't let him skinny dip. I told him it was too cold to swim. I turned around, his undies were off, and he was pretending to swim on the carpet. This kid is HILARIOUS, though sometimes inappropriate. But he is only three...

is about to have her BIRTHDAY!!! WHAT?! I seriously feel like I JUST gave birth to her. I can remember that day perfectly. I can remember what Stone was wearing, I can remember looking out my hospital window, watching my Dad and Stone play at the park. I can remember exactly how she looked on that day. Though it feels like yesterday, SO much has happened since then. Cliff finished his last semester of law school, graduated, passed the bar, I had a business trip to Michigan, we moved, Cliff started his job, I resigned, and my photography hobby has become much more than a hobby. ***
Lastly, how is everyone doing with their resolutions? I must admit. Mine start THIS week. I have many things I want to work on and accomplish this year. Usually I pick a few things I can really focus on. But I have several things in different areas of my life that I want to work on, yet NOTHING is written down. And my goals HAVE to be written down, or it's as though they do not exist. I've been working on them, but I don't feel like they are officially my goals yet. We stayed put for the holidays and traveled shortly after for the wedding, so I feel like our holidays have now wrapped up, and now it's time to really work on 2011.
There. Did you make it through this post?

Wonderful post...words & pictures!!! Can't believe lil girl's almost a year old!
Oh I loved this post. It's so sweet you are in a stage of life you want to freeze. I always get sentimental when I look back on time. Glad you had such a long nice break with family.
Oh my gosh, I love the shots of Danny and Stone wrestling! As we were watching them I could not stop cracking up. They were so funny!
