2011

January- 
We were excited because Ryan was returning from deployment soon.

We spent time with our best friends in California.

We were preparing for Disneyland.

February- 
Ryan came home from Afghanistan!!!

We took a trip, ALONE, to Vegas!

March- 
We took a trip to Disneyland.

We came back home to North Carolina.

April-
I really started feeling the ache about not getting pregnant, and decided to pursue fertility testing.

We had an awful tornado that hit just down the road from our house.

May-
We had a fun Memorial Day at the lake.

June- 
Jax turned TWO!

We began fertility testing.

July- 
We celebrated our last Independence Day as a military family.

My best friends came to visit from California.

I got baptized.

August- 
I turned 25.

My mom, Jax and I visited Charleston.

Potty training!


September-
We went to the zoo.

We watched Daddy jump out of a helicopter.

Ryan turned 27 and we went ziplining.

October-
We had some big prayer requests.

And God totally answered, because I became pregnant with baby #2! (But kept it a secret)

Jax was a pirate.

November-
Jax became obsessed with my iPhone.

He also became obsessed with his guys.

December- 
I announced my pregnancy!

And we got to see our baby.

We celebrated our first and last Christmas alone, as just a family of three.

I started my second trimester, and am starting to show.

2012 will bring huge changes for our family! Moving back to California, finding a new job for Ryan, finding a new place to live, having another baby, Jax starting preschool next fall, and many other surprises that I'm sure God has in store for us. I can't wait!!

Happy New Year, dear friends!
