EXCITED!!!

I am just a little excited if you can't tell... 

 1 week from right now I will we laying in one of those chairs relaxing on vacation with my hubby!!! We try to go on a vacation just the 2 of us once a year but it has been over 2 years so I am really looking forward to some quality time with my man, some sleep, no cooking, no laundry, no cleaning, adventure, reading, and just being "us" for a week. I know we'll miss the kids but they will be having a blast and in great care at my parents! Thank you Mom and Kev :)

Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas this year. We enjoyed Christmas Eve with all the Ritter's and Christmas day with my side of the family. I love the holidays and all the traditions that come with it! I'm so thankful that we have two beautiful healthy kids, that I am married to my best friend and that we have supportive and loving family and great friends.

10 Months

Our little man is now 10 months old.

It is hard to believe that he is almost a year. He is now crawling... yippee!!!! I was starting to think he would be one of those babies that just starts walking. He loves his food and is starting to eat more and more table food. He is also now sleeping through the night. We or should I say HE has accomplished a lot this month.  Parker is always so happy and just seems so content all the time. We love his sweet personality and smile.

Family Pictures

My friend Briana took our family pictures this year these are some of my favorites.

Thank you Bri you did a great job!!!

Had to post this one... Gotta love my feisty little girl!!!

We had our annual family Christmas party at Aunt Debbie & Uncle Ron's house. It was so much fun and something I look forward to every year. This years theme was breakfast food & pj's. Thank you so much for hosting every year Swanson's. We are lucky we live so close to our family.
