Year End Review - 2009

I can't believe 2009 has come and gone in a blink of an eye. Here are some of the fun memories of the past year:



January - We spent a lot of time taking pictures of Brooke and rang in the Chinese New Year with some friends.



February - Decided to sell our trusty '91 Acura Integra and upgrade to something a little more reliable in the snow - our Honda Pilot. Decided to get away from the cold and head down to California to visit family and friends.


March - Went to Hong Kong for my grandpa's funeral while Troy got to live it up at the Ritz Carlton in Puerto Rico for "business". Brooke decided to start crawling.

Troy's view from his hotel room. Rough.
April - Brooke finally gets crawling down and realizes she can get places...or take her clothes off. We get to celebrate Taylor's entrance to the world. My parents and Will and Kristin come to visit during Easter. Both kids and adults got to participate in an egg hunt. My friend, Megan, came to visit and check out the area.



May - Shane and Heather come to visit and partake in some Wii action. Add some flowerbeds to liven up the backyard. Take our first road trip with Brooke to surprise Troy's family...his parents decide to head to CA that weekend.



June - Troy's family decides to make it up to us and head out here to visit. Troy surprises me with a trip to Beaver Creek.


July - Enjoying the summer heat by heading to the pool. Celebrate Brooke's first birthday with my parents.



August - Enjoyed the Ware family bi-annual family vacation. Brooke starts taking her first steps. Also celebrated our 5th anniversary.



September - Head to Dallas with Troy while Brooke stays back and hangs our with Grandma. Then head down to California to celebrate my dad's and my birthdays. Also make a visit to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.


October - Spend some time with Uncle Jonathan. Troy's parents and little bros come out to celebrate Troy's birthday, see Wicked, and Halloween. Brooke enjoys her first tastes of candy.



November - Make a quick trip to UT while Troy heads to Chicago and S. Carolina. Brooke hams it up for the camera. Enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with the Steeles.



December - Enjoyed the holiday season by baking and making treats. Brooke gets spoiled by Santa for Christmas.
