2011 Catch Up - Part 3

I almost completely forgot our trip to Florida in April! We go every year with Kyle's parents and sister's family, and as always, I took a TON of pictures!

Playing cards with my sexy husband on the drive south.




Creepiest East Bunny EVER

Egg Hunt




I did also manage to get a nice smiley pic, but I just love her Elvis face so much more!

We had lunch at a dinosaur version of Rainforest Cafe. I can't for the life of me remember what it is called, as I did not particularly enjoy spending $15 on a burger, but the kids LOVED IT!

Kyle and I before swimming with the manatees. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the pictures from the actual swim developed yet.

It was SUCH and awesome experience! We spent about an hour with 3 adults and 2 babies.

2011 Catch Up - Part 2

Labor Day Camping in WV (aka my birthday) - September

We spent Labor Day Weekend (also known around here as BIG BIRTHDAY WEEKEND) camping in West Virginia with my parents, my bff Kati (whose birthday is 3 days before mine) and her guy, Joe. Kati and I spent a good portion of our youth at camp with my parents so we though it would be fun to celebrate our birthdays there again this year just like old times. The kids (and our guys) had a blast and we're hoping to make many more trips up there next summer.

Swimming in the small lake.


Kyle, Logan, and Joe

This picture always makes me laugh because Joe farted right before it was taken so he's smirking, Logan is making a yuck face, and Kyle is cracking up. This was right after they went for a little hike, hence the "walking sticks".


BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!



Logan caught a frog. We also found a couple of tiny baby mice.

Visit from my Brother and Sister - September





Halloween

Logan decided to go as Batman this year so I dyed a onesie and some tights and made Viv this Poison Ivy costume. It took a TON of ivy leaves and several hours of cursing but I think it turned out pretty cute.

2011 Catch Up

Hi! Remember me? Well, it's a new year and I've realized that I have gotten so far behind on my blog, I should probably close out 2011 before I move on to a bigger and hopefully better year. I didn't make any actual resolutions, but staying up to date in these here parts sounds like a good one. A lot has been going down in the Lynch household over the last few months, so here's hoping 2011 took the drama with it and 2012 brings back the laughter and fun. But for now, let's just get caught up on the last year . . . starting with the summer - which is, I'm pretty sure, just about where I left off. I've skipped over a lot of stuff so it's probably going to take several posts to catch up. Just keep in mind that these next few posts are all likely to be EXTREMELY picture heavy.

Viv's 1st Baseball Game - May




Air & Space Museum for Kyle's Birthday - June


My parents work for the company that made our spacesuits (and many other important military products), so Logan was pretty psyched to get his picture taken with this one. He was telling everyone who walked past that his Grandma helped make those gloves.


For his birthday, I bought him a flight lesson, you know, to go along with the whole birthday theme. He was pretty surprised. Lol.


Viv's Snow White 1st Birthday Party - August

Snow White and her Prince



Monthly Pictures

Viv's Smash Cake




Logan's 1st Day of Preschool





We celebrated Logan's 1st Day by taking the kids to a local carnival that evening.




I suppose that's enough for now. More tomorrow . . . maybe . . . hopefully.

So, tell me, how has 2012 been treating you so far?
