Memories, dream and reflections (another look back)

1.Me! - picture of yourself (you don't have to show your face). What are you most proud of accomplishing in 2010?

{I'm most proud of my kids. Cliche, I know, but seriously, how could I be more proud of anything else? I'm proud of everything they do, everything they learn, and (almost) everything they say.}



2.I Love You - picture of your husband, boyfriend, children, pets, etc.

{summer 2010 family photo}

3.Still Laughing... - a moment you're still laughing about now...tell us a story.

{oh dear. This wasn't so funny at the time, but I laugh now. I set up the tripod, and set out to take some self portrait jumping photos. A few shots in, and Haakon made his way up the hill, right as I flung my arms, full strength, into the air, he stepped into the path of my arm :o Not only did I hit him pretty good, but my ring got him right in the head, and left a nice little cut. This photo is the actual hit, as he is falling to the ground in pain, and shock that mom would ever do such a nasty thing to him.}

4.Winter Wonderland - a picture that reflects Winter.

{My parents have two great sledding hills in their back yard. I didn't realize how awesome that was, until we moved to a place where we have to drive to find a good hill. I still love going home to sled on the best sledding hills ever, not to mention the yummy hot cocoa waiting just yards away inside the toasty drafty home.}



5.Birthday - share a birthday picture (your own or someone you love).

{This is from Haakon's 1st birthday, I can't believe his second is just 38 days away!}



6.Friends - a picture with friends (this could be your friends or your children with their friends).

 {Hanging out with my best friend Emily (on the right) and our good friend Kristen (on the left)}

7. I Was Inspired... - could be a picture of your inspiration (person or thing), or inspired by...

{Really I'm inspired by you, yes you! All the awesome blogs I read through, you guys inspire me the most. I didn't know how to show that in a photo though, so I went with my next inspiration. Color!}



8.Spring Fever - a picture that reflects Spring.





9.Travel or Vacation - a picture taken on vacation or on a recent travel experience, OR of a place you'd like to travel.

{Vacation? What on God's green earth is that?  I'm sure that less than 24 hours in Nebraska does not count as a vacation, but that's the closest thing I've had to a vacation in years.}
