Year in Review

Here are 12 of my favorite memories of 2013. It's crazy to think that not that long ago it would be amazing to have a good photo of your family or child from each month of the year and now I have hundreds (if not closer to a thousand) photo moments to choose from. Thankful for the invention of the digital camera and iPhone!

January

It must have been cold in January because most of my photos are of doing things indoors like baking cookies and playing with toys. I picked this one because it was one of the few outdoor moments I captured of Eva and me all bundled up to go for a walk in the cold.

 February

 Happy Valentine's Day! I love my husband and daughter so much! That day we had friends over to decorate cookies and then we celebrated my ordering a pizza with pepperonis designed in 

a heart on it.

 March

It was an early Easter this year. Eva had so much fun getting into hunting for eggs even though she was the littlest (and therefor slowest!) one out there.

April

Eva got her first backpack...that's also a child leash! We rarely need to use the leash anymore but she still wears her back pack all the time. 

 May

We celebrated lots of birthdays in May including Mallory's, Kiersi's, and Kayden's. Mallory got a tricycle and I'm pretty sure it was that moment that Eva decided that she needed a bike too!

 June

We took Eva to her first Texas Ranger's game.  We were lucky to have good seats and she enjoyed the game. She also enjoyed the ice cream in a hat, and we still have the hat for her babies to wear.

 July

Ryan and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and I checked off some bucket list items like going horse back riding and canoeing! 

August

Made homemade blueberry cheesecake ice cream with Eva to enjoy as we spent our days splashing in the pool or playing on the back porch. 

 September

Eva Kate turned 2 years old! We celebrated with a family party at a local park. 

 October

Eva was a tiger for Halloween! We had fun taking her dressed up to Boo at the Ft. Worth Zoo and she was delighted to go trick or treating. She still has tons of leftover Halloween candy because she only gets a couple of pieces per week. Yep, we are those parents. 

November

We celebrated my 30th birthday at the beach in Granbury. This is one of my most favorite photographs of all my life. I love the playing, the laughing, the sunset, the bridge, the ducks, the sand, and the water. 

December

Icemagedon 2013. We stayed inside for 4 whole days, with the exception of the times we ventured out back to go sledding. Of course we celebrated Christmas, but when I look back at 2013 I want to remember those relaxing ice days.

I started my blog on January 1, 2010 so today marks the end of my 4th whole year of blogging! Thank you to everybody who reads it... I plan to keep on writing in 2014!
