Review Extravganza Part 1

I figured I should lead by example and get my first post for the 2010 Review Extravaganza posted, cause you know they say that others learn best if you teach by example. By the way is it just me, or have you ever wondered who this all knowing "they" is.

Anyway...

Don't worry, Friday is still the day to link up, I just hate being late, especially when it's my own party, gesh that would be embarrassing. So here my part 1 of the 2010 Review Extravaganza!!



And by no means do you need to recap the same way I did. In fact, after I read all of your wonderful recaps I might totally change my style of recap for next week.

January 2010

January was a month of recaps and of beginnings--the Cooking Club began!

It was a time I said yes and got these pictures that I will cherish forever!


Then there was this post where I talked about all of the different places I have lived.. it is a lot.

There was the time that Alex told us we should name her then unborn brother Jibba-Jabba.

February 2010

When I started looking through February posts, I found this one.. where I talked about hiding from religious prosulaters that kept coming to my house... and I just busted up laughing as just yesterday they came again! They really are persistent.

And since I live in California-February means bike rides in the park of courseSorry had to throw this in-since it was 3 degrees at my parents house yesterday.

I talked about some more serious issues, of walking that fine line in teaching your kids to respect adults and keeping them safe. And about bullying and turning the other cheek.

March 2010

In March I talked about the dress that nearly suffocated me to death when I was trying to get it on.

We celebrated Eric's 31st Birthday and I shared pictures like this one from our first date

I shared Alex's views of how things will be when she is a mommy, like this one: While she sat on the toilet: "When I'm a mommy, I will cover the whole toilet because Mommy's are bigger"

And

I had my first paying job as a professional photographer!Yes my logo has changed...

So it was a good three months. My belly was continually expanding (since I was pregnant), I started my photography business and just enjoyed life.

I am so excited to see what each of you do for your recaps. Don't forget to add the button to your post (if you want to be able to enter the giveaway) and link up on Friday!!
