Catch up
I am at a loss for what to write...it has been such a long time since my last post.!? So...maybe a few photos and quick thoughts to finish out our 2010...
Thanksgiving with the ENTIRE Fry family!!
The week before Christmas we took a trip with the kids to Arizona to stay with Grandma and Pops. They loved swimming in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows, decorating cookies, playing at the park, riding the train and carousel, and a short horse and carriage ride (after a very LONG wait in line). It was nice to enjoy some activities in the sun and warmer weather right before Christmas. Thanks G&P!! xoxo
Wedding in Redondo Beach, CA for our friends Josh and Lisa
(it was fun to have a reason to get dressed up and be out...without the kids)
Lindsie turned 3 and thinks she is "so big".
She loves barbies, dressing up, dancing, and lipstick!
She is a very active, crazy, yet loving kid. :)
Thanksgiving with the ENTIRE Fry family!!
Grandparents + 6 children + 6 spouses + 14 grandkids = Crazy FUN!
and we documented the occasion with a family photo...

Christmas Eve...
Nana and Papa never disappoint...everyone was thrilled with their gifts!!
We had a very enjoyable Christmas Day at home as a family. We played, ate lots of food, watched movies and visited with family and friends. (Chris was thrilled to have perfected his annual prime rib too! :) Wish I had taken a picture!)
2010 was a great year for our family!
I will treasure the many memories created this year...
and look forward to someday having the time to scrapbook them for my kids. :)

Disneyland
To celebrate Lindsie's 3rd birthday and spend some quality time together as a family we traveled to "The happiest place on earth"!! I created this book on Shutterfly after I had purchased a great deal on Groupon. I was so excited when I had it finished and it said I could post it to share on Blogger!! :) Hope you enjoy!

Blog Slacker?
Busy mom of 3 crazy kids...and overwhelmed by all my titles (mom, wife, maid, chef, chauffeur, etc). This blog has just not been one of the priorities. :) I do enjoy having it as a sort of journal or scrapbook of our family, and it has saved me more than once when my memory has forgotten. I also lost pictures of Whit's 8th b-day party and was able to copy those that I had posted here on the blog. :) So....definitely worth the time and trouble.
Here is a quick update...
We filled the remainder of our summer with fun adventures and activities, and then school started for Whitney late in August. She is in the 4th Grade and is really enjoying her class and teacher Mrs Crook. Two of her very good friends moved this summer, but she was excited to have 5 new girls move into her class. She is great at making friends and enjoys the occasional play date with her girlfriends from school. She is a great student and is trying to make her life easier by getting homework done at school. (LOVE it!!) This was the first year I forgot to take pictures of her on the first day of school. :( Sorry Whit!!
Once Whitney started school, my world changed!! I had gotten used to her being home to help with C and L. I worried about what they would destroy or do to each other while I was in the shower and how I would entertain them by myself all day? We tackled a couple of adventures on our own, played a lot at the park, and also in the yard here at home. Colin and Lindsie both LOVE to be outside, and have SO much energy that there are days I can't keep up.
The weather is getting colder here and I am NOT looking forward to so much time with them indoors. Snowsuits and boots are definitely in our future!! :)
Lindsie worked all summer on her potty training and finally had it down by August...just in time to start preschool!! We had a fun Labor Day at the lake and the following day Lindsie had her first day of school! She has a very fun and patient teacher they call Miss Patti and 9 other cute kids in her class. Although she was very eager to start school, she cries and struggles with me leaving every time! Once I leave she is totally fine and has a great time, so I'm at a loss as to why "the drama" occurs?? We have been on field trips with her class to the apple orchard, fire station, and the pumpkin patch. We love hearing about things she does and learns at school. My favorite was when she came home telling me that a boy in her class said he saw her underwear. She said "I told him they are not underwear, they are Big Girl Panties!"
Colin is growing and changing so quickly! He loves to get into everything and will always copy Lindsie in her mischief. The bathroom drawers are almost empty by the time I am ready for the day and the kitchen drawers and cabinets are never safe. He has a fascination with brooms and vacuums that we cannot understand, and he is constantly making us smile with his dancing and gibberish. He loves animals and is learning some of his animal sounds. My favorite is the elephant. So darling!!
Chris has been busy with work and all the drama that goes with his job. He continues to travel... some weeks more than others...and I try to keep from getting too overwhelmed by all my titles...some weeks more than others! :) Grateful that we are all healthy, happy (most of the time), and can enjoy the time we have together.
No post is complete without pictures....right?? Click to enlarge!!
