2010 Highlights

January: Layla and I had a blast staying at home, crafting, and finding fun things to do. I enjoy every second with my baby girl!February: It's fair season! It had been years since I had gone to the Date Festival and Layla had never been before. We went a couple of times, once with my Mom and once with my best friend, Jessica and her daughter Ana. Great food and great fun!March: Daddy's home from Afghanistan! And got to help plan and partake in Layla's BIG 4th carnival birthday bash. I am still amazed by her party and how it turned out, it was amazing and one that none of us will ever forget. She had a petting zoo, a pony, a bounce house, a clown, popcorn machine, sweet bar, hot dog stand, etc. I planned for months for her big day and it couldn't have turned out more perfect. April: Before Ed left back to Germany we were able to go to Magic Mountain. We had such a good time, it was just what we needed!I also got to go to Stage Coach with my best friend, Desirae, for her birthday. All I can say is MEMORIES! May: Layla and I went on a Mother's Day trip with my best friend, Desirae and her son Logan to San Diego for a couple of days. We got to enjoy the beach, the food, went to Sea World, and even took a horse carriage ride right on the beach. We had a blast, it was a great way to spend Mother's day with the people I love. June: Layla graduated from preschool! She is getting so big, smart, and beautiful. It amazes me what a little lady she is turning into.And... Layla and I also got to spend a week at the beach. It was our final beach trip with Jessica and Ana, as well as my family. A couple days with Jessica and Ana at one hotel and a few days at another hotel with my mom, brother, and his two kids. Such a fun week!July: My brother and I were able to take one last trip to Las Vegas before I moved to Colorado. We had an amazing suite with a handwritten note, champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us when we arrived. We had an amazing time and even got to see Rihanna and Kei$ha in concert. Such a great trip!August: Daddy is officially home with us after finishing up in Germany! We got to go to the beach and have fun in California before moving in September. This was my favorite month! Ed is home with us for good!September: We have a new home in Colorado! We made the 17 hour drive and made it safe and sound to our new home. We LOVE it here! I can't say enough great things about it. We took our first Colorado trip too. We went to Fort Collins so Ed could check out the New Belgium Brewing Company. We had a great day trip... this was just the beginning.October: This was a super busy, fun month. We went to the zoo which we absolutely loved! Who knew feeding giraffes would be so much fun?We had to drive to Dallas, Texas to pick up our car so we drove down a little further to Austin to visit with my Uncle Rick and his two awesome kids. They were amazing tour guides and showed us around Austin. We had a blast and it was so nice to see them after so long.We took a trip to Garden of the Gods. Breathtaking! It is just gorgeous there. The pictures don't do it justice.And of course Halloween! Finally a Halloween with Ed again.
