Our year in review

Here are just a few of things that happened at the Insane Asylum in 2010 ~

Sean found out that sometimes doing the right thing can be a big hassle.

For the first time since I've had kids in school, we had such a bad rain storm, there was the possibility of schools closing due to flooding.

I was STILL unemployed and going a little crazy....

I found a poem by S that clearly shows what she goes through as a Cheerleader.

I finally told the story of how Sean & I met.

While I worked a home show, the girls commandeered my camera and made a video.

I began an attempt to improve the state of the backyard at our current rental house.

I took a break from the dirty backyard and did some painting to spruce up the kitchen.

S and her co-ed varsity cheer squad won the National Championships for Cheer & Dance.

I did some MORE painting.

We spent most of the summer out by the pool.

I got a new haircut.

Jan & I went to a local cemetery, so I could take photos, where I lost my cell phone.

Jan, the girls and I took a day hike up in Payson.  It was a blast.

Our 2 cats, Piper and ET, had 5 kittens each with-in 24 hours of each other. (Unfortunately, we lost 2 of them)

There was a Kitten Report with tons of pictures and stories.

I showed off a piece of my old artwork I found from high school.

We moved from a 3 bedroom house with a pool to a 2 bedroom condo.  To save money.

We get moved into the condo, unpacked, settled in and Sean brings home a monstrosity. (Which turns out is produced by an expensive furniture maker!  Who knew!?)

To save even more money, I decided to shut off our cable TV.  Indefinitely.

I discovered there's a nice park with-in walking distance of the house that's perfect for taking photos.

And from that point on, my blogging was very sporadic.  Basically because we didn't do anything!!  Work, school and cheer practice pretty much consumed our days.

I'm leaving you with a little slide show featuring some of my favorite photos of the girls, and a few of myself, throughout the year.
