2010

I have always loved looking at magazines that have a "year-in-pictures" or even a major event that the news has covered with a recap of pictures from the scene so I thought it would be a good way to show our 2010 year.  I am definitely NOT the professional photographer that major news networks have on staff but I think you will get the idea :)

Kevin's knee surgery #2 - January 2010

Liberty Bowl - Arden's first bowl game!  Thankfully we won (in 2OT)...

Arden's first day of day care - 1.13.10

Arden's first Valentine's Day - how could anyone turn her down on Valentine's?!


Snow Days!  Arden's first Christmas was a white one and then in March we got another big snow!

Arden's first Easter!  We went to church and then lunch at the Country Club.  Arden sat on the bunny's lap but she only wanted to eat his costume so we don't have any good pics.  There was also a petting zoo so I picked up a baby duck for her to see and she tried to grab it like it was a toy so we had to put the little duck back with his friends.  This family pic is the best we have, it was super windy that day!
Arden and the Razorback (Ribby maybe?) at a baseball game
Arden's baptism - this may be my all time favorite picture of her (thanks Jessica Ritchie!)
Arden's baptism - 4.25.10
Kevin and I got to spend one night in NYC when we were checking out living in NJ.
First Mother's Day!

This is the night we found out Carter and Alicia were having a GIRL!  We had to eat cupcakes to get to the center and see what color icing was inside to know boy or girl.  I cheated and tore open the cupcake while everyone else actually took a bite or two, I couldn't wait to know!  This was 5.14.10, Ellison was born 10.13.10 :)
5.21.10 - our 5th wedding anniversary. Kevin and I had a date night at Theo's!
Arden's first boat ride in Hot Springs.  She was NOT a fan this trip but grew to like it!
7.11.10 - Moon Lake.  We went to visit our Mississippi friends at their lake house on Moon Lake.  Arden got to meet her "Ole Miss" boyfriend, they were pretty smitten with each other!

Arden's first tailgate!  Go Hogs!

10.2210 Arden's 1st Birthday!  It was a great day.  I took off of work to hang with her on her big day and we had a little get together that night.  She could have cared less about the cupcake!
10.31.10 Arden's 1st Halloween - wasn't she a great duck?  Maybe this is my all time favorite picture of her?  (I think I have already said that!)

Thanksgiving 2010.  This was Arden at the end of a long day, still smiling!  (see full post here)

Christmas 2010.  These pics were just the beginning of a fun holiday.  (see full post here)




As you can see, we had a big and blessed year.  We wish you and your family all the best in 2011!
