The Joy's of 2010:


What a great year. Here's Julia and I ringing in the New Year of 2010 with Chinese Food! We began this year with only one child in diapers, and things have only been better since then! Our baby boy, #4 as we call him: Logan Allen grew:



and grew...



and grew....



and grew...

and grew! He is now a walking, babbling, happy one year old boy:

He loves trucks, balls, remotes, cellphones, phones, and anything else with buttons. He has big, gorgeous brown eyes and loves to play peek-a-boo!


Julia continues to be a Joy to our family; she's sugar and spice and all that's nice:



She was Tinkerbell for Halloween this year, and was cute as can be. Julia loves dolls, princesses, barbie movies, and playdates with friends. She began preschool this fall with Mom as her teacher and has done really well. We love our pretty girl. She's awfully fun to chat with; but you have to listen carefully because she leaves the r's off of the end of her words; she made mom laugh when she brought in a block of wood that she was pretending with and said,

Mom! I found my supee dupee computee!" She keeps us smiling.


#2 is Bobster; the Bobbers, Robert, Bobby boy who also began preschool with mom and has actually disliked having mom for his teacher. Oh, well- he's certainly ready for Kindergarten; he started writing notes and spelling out words, reading books, and such. He's our clown of the family; he has a huge smile, brilliant mind, and funny personality that get's him in trouble. He loves music, all things boy, and soccer. Wait, he kind of likes soccer. And Sunday mornings? Cries. "I don't want to go to church!" but does fine after he gets there and can repeat the whole lesson for you.


Jordan is Joy #1

He's 7 years old now, and in First Grade! He's a super reader, loves lunchtime and recess, and just began Jr. Jazz. He is my biggest helper; maybe too helpful with Logan at times, and as you can see in the picture, he loves to hug his baby brother and it makes Logan scream every time! He loves art, and is always making creative things with Legos. He is the best big brother, ever.

2010 brought a cruise with the Day Family:



The Crew



Watching the Divers..




Ryan and I at dinner!

We went on the Mexican Riviera Cruise to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo. My Favorite highlights of the cruise was the extreme zip lines, the beach at Mazatlan, going parasailing, and just an all-out good time with Bonnie and the family!


And we finished the basement for a fabulous preschool to begin!


All in all, 2010 brought us a lot of happiness. Sometimes I think time isn't going fast enough. Then Logan walks by me, and Bobby reads me a book, and I think; SLOW DOWN! Time is going fast! All I know for sure is that I am enjoying every minute. Life is good. Welcome, 2011!
