2010 in Review

Well 2010 was hands down the best year of my life.  God has blessed me so much just by sending his Son, that all of this other stuff is really just fluff.  But the fluff...is what makes my life here on Earth so special.  Thank you Lord for such a wonderful, wonderful year!

January

 We finally meet the little person living in my tummy!  Smith William Shull came on January 18 and he MADE our year.  Correction, he made our lives.  We love you Smith!

February

 Record breaking snow in Dallas. 

 Which gave us extra time to snuggle inside with our new man.

March

 Sylvia and Broderick come to meet Smith for the first time.

 We enjoyed the pretty weather outside.

April

My sweet babies

May

 Andrew and Shay go to San Diego for some FUN!

 And little Kensington starts sleeping in a big girl bed. 

 Plus, we put on our suits and enjoy the pool.

June

 We finally see Shamu in person on a family trip to San Antonio.  She was mesmerized.

 Little man was excited about Shamu too.

July

 We board a plane and head to Europe on our first big adventure!!!  Holland, Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Hungary here we come.

 It's hard work traveling to Europe when you're 1 and 6 months :).

August

 My sweet hubby takes me to Vegas to see the man of my dreams...Michael Buble!!!  Love you baby!

 This little guy just keeps getting bigger.

 And this little girls just keeps getting cuter!

 On the 15th, Kensington turns 2!

 Happy Birthday Kensington Kate!

October

 My little tiger is so cute on Halloween!

 Kensington is a pro at asking people for candy :).

November

 Happy Thanksgiving!

Decemeber

We made the very most of our Christmas season this year!

2010 was filled with a lot of big moments but it was the everyday little moments that made it so special.  Spending time with my kids everyday, enjoying the company of my girlfriends, being with family...all of those things made 2010 so special. 

What's in store for 2011?  Well, definitely more stamps in our passports, lots of time with family and friends and hopefully, a year full of even more simple things.

Happy New Year!

The Amazing Race

I know I've mentioned this before but my dad is...um...well...different.  He holds Guinness World Records, travels the world (sometimes on camel) sharing Jesus, chases hurricanes for kicks and has lived a life that could only be described as extraordinary. 

Several years ago, he auditioned for Survivor and of course, CBS ate him up.  They loved him.  They have considered him for 3 seasons but just can't seem to place him there on the right season.  This past summer, they contacted him again (they keep calling him) about being on The Amazing Race instead.  They sent him over the contract and said he was their man.  There was just one problem...they needed him to come with my mom.  My mom...God love her...has enough common sense to know that she does not want to be on a reality show.  Period.  So, she said no, my dad told CBS no and they said, maybe next season. 

So, here we are.  It's next season...and of course my dad wants to be on the show.  This time though, he found himself a new partner.  Click here to see the audition video.  Who knows if they'll have a spot for my dad this season or not?  Regardless, my dad sure knows how to put together a good audition video :).

Stay tuned...I'll let you know.
