My yearly update!

First of all, does anyone even look at this blog any more??  Comment if you do!  If there are at least a few of you out there that visit, I will try and do better at keeping it up!

Since it has been a year since I last posted, I will try and do a quick update of the past year.  Some highlights include...

Gunnar and Greta missed 11 school days due to snow and ice!  Seriously?  They are crazy here.   I never missed even one day when I was in school in Utah, where it actually snows...

Trip to Cali with friends in February

Greta started playing Soccer

Gunnar finally got to play tackle football

 Soren is obsessed with all things Fire Fighter.  He was in heaven when my car got hit by an old man that had a heart attack. (As far as I know the man was OK!) I ended up driving a minivan for 4 months while my car got fixed.  I did not love it.

Gunnar went to the NBA finals when we were in Texas in June.  He cheered for the Miami Heat in Dallas!  He was sad they lost, but the rest of us were excited for the Mavs! 

 Trip to Utah in July.  Tyler gave Greta straight hair!  She loved it and was sad when we had to wash it the next day!

Stewart Falls!  I probably hiked it at least 20 times in my youth.  I was glad they got to experience it!

SURPRISE!

Greta is obviously happier than the last time we did this...

 Halloween!

 The Fall leaves were amazing!  One of the best things about living in Tennessee.

For Greta's 8th birthday, all she wanted was a bra and crutches.  I gave her the crutches, not the bra!

She still thinks she is a teenager!

 We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving.  It was so much fun to spend time with all of my relatives that I never get to see!

 Christmas is Texas.  Our Nativity play was pure chaos!

 Greta was baptized in Texas on December 31

We really do enjoy living in Nashville.  We have had some rough patches due to the fact that Christian has been traveling for most of the year, and I was sick/pregnant for a good part of it, but for the most part, we have had a very blessed year.  The kids love their schools, they have great friends, and I have met some amazing people as well.  I feel like I will always miss our friends and family in Texas, but I can now finally see that this is where we are supposed to be!

Welcome to Tennessee!

 On our way to Nashville as we crossed the bridge into Memphis.  

About 30 minutes after this, Soren started throwing up... 

 1316 Hildreth Drive!

 Our backyard, which is right in the middle of a Civil War battle sight.

 Trying to take a picture for our Christmas Card.
Notice Greta's puffy eyes... 

She was crying because her boots were too small.  Drama!

 These signs are all over Nashville.  We definitely live in the South!

These walls line Granny White Pike- the road I drive down every day to get to Gunnar's school.

A General was apparently captured at this spot.

Soren is happy to have a real bedroom!

2010... Where did you go?

Well I obviously didn't return to blogging like my last post promised... This year has been a ball of stress, and I just have to laugh at it and not dwell on it too much!

I won't bore everyone with an entire years worth of pictures and info, but for those of you who want to see more from our year you can check out our shutterfly site here.

Here are some of my of my favorite pics that I can't resist posting:

Australia, December 2009. AMAZING! Words can not express how cool it was...

Soren turned ONE! March 5, 2010

April 2010. The traditional Texas bluebonnet pictures.
This year it didn't go so well...

Utah trip in July

The Alamo!

First day of school 2010. We miss you Prairie Trail!


Trip to the Zoo in October

Farewell to Texas...

Sarah, Jenny, Sharon and Melanie


Molly and Lucy's 2nd Birthday

Super Star

Return to blogging????

Next Week- Maybe... I have been a major slacker, I know. But, it has been a busy few months. Greta's Birthday, Thanksgiving, Trip to Australia, Christmas, husband traveling (a lot), Snow days, Valentines, The Olympics ( I am having with-drawls this week!) etc. etc. etc.

Tomorrow is Soren's first birthday. Oh how this year has flown by! I promise to update very soon with lots of pictures!

Halloween

Soren loved his costume. He was putting on quite the show!

Hannah Montana of course.

Gunnar wanted to be something scary this year. We settled on this Texas Chainsaw Massacre mask. He came home from trick or treating and said "some lady told me I looked like Jack the Stripper." "You mean Jack the Ripper?" "Uh, ya." Nice.
